From Downtown Toronto Ontario Canada and the shores of Georgian Bay & Blue Mountain, my Collingwood Shangri-La escape, I write about people and the goings on here and music, literature and life in general. Equally left brained (IT Project Manager) and right brained (creative writing and learning to play the Ukulele). Love live music and red wine and long conversations. Pull up a chair and join me from time to time and we shall share both thoughts and company! Blog comments welcome!
This week we have the full moon in the sky known as the Harvest Moon. Big, bright and orange. Makes you want to stand out on the balcony and howl (just kidding...) I took some pictures of both the moon and the Toronto Skyline. It made me think of the Neil Young's song.
My "desert island song" is Neil Young's Harvest Moon. Listening to it just makes me feel really good. Calm, happy, loved. (Never mind I don't have a fella - I can dream, eh?) I just adore the Video that goes with it and the lyrics express a wonderful sentiment.
Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin'
We could dream this night away.
But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night.
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.
When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart.
But now it's gettin' late
And the moon is climbin' high
I want to celebrate
See it shinin' in your eye.
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.
I have a great curiosity and interest in the many things around me. I love to travel, even if it is for a walk around the block. I have loved and lost, loved and thrown away and loved again. Currently trying to figure out whether there is a "Mr Right" in my future. My 5 adult children are reasonably self sufficient now and I have the time to indulge myself by exploring the things which interest me. I am now trying to figure out if I am really in retirement and if so how to reconstruct my life or if I am just taking a break from my career for a while.
One small part of the south view from my Liberty Village Condo until Dec 2010
Another small part of my south view - long lost in a maze of new buildings called King West Plaza
The view I have now. I moved across the street and this building sprang up in the last year - obstructing my old and new views. I still see a sliver of lake.
View to the Harbour during Tall Ships Sail Past - views like this no more from my balcony.
