There are so many delicious flavours on this plate that I am still enjoying them after it's all (sadly) finished.
Crispy air fried garlicky parsnip chips, yogurt crusted spicy tofu, sweet potato plus the most excellent fava beans in (lots of) garlic and tahini. Cauliflower and kale sprinkled with nutritional yeast are a great light addition to round off the plate.
Bon appétit! Plant foods for the win!
Should I? Shouldn't I? (Too cold to want to see this?)
Park Bench - blowing snow
Canning Nova Scotia - February afternoon
The village of Canning was once a ship building town and ships used to dock here to load apples and potatoes to send around the world. Now the river is small, a stream below the banks here, just about big enough for a canoe or a row boat. It's hard to imagine that a ship could ever have made its way up here.
There is a park here and in the summer it is lovely to sit on this bench and see the birds on the water and in the fields edging the dykes beyond. It's quite beautiful in the blowing snow too, although the bench is rather less inviting and I nearly froze as I was taking this image, years ago now.
Have a lovely day, all. Hugs to all.
Mystery solved
... What is this, do you think?
Seems to be a house cat!
A very short sighting of this creature.
Good morning/afternoon or evening all.
This is a favourite image of mine as it represents the winter in our tidal landscape so well.
The ice forms these thin slabs on the banks as the tide (the highest in the world) rises and falls each day. The sun was hitting the edges of the ice as it was low in the sky and casting a warm glow over everything.
Winter will soon be over and Spring will be here. Here's hoping.
I hope you all have as good a day as you hope for.

Will someone please wake Zaz up and tell her it's Caturday? What a lazy cat...sleeping in the sun. (Not today's sun, sadly as it's a 'wintry mix' of snow, sleet and (freezing) rain today.)
On second thoughts, don't wake her. I wish I could curl up beside her!
Happy Caturday to all who celebrate.

Alfie
Because I think everyone is struggling a little bit. I know I am. I was scrolling through my photos trying to find an image to share that might make people feel cared for, and came across this photo of Alfie, a friend's dog, taken many years ago. It's like a hug in a dog's face.
I hope it helps.
PS boost to share the hug
Hope from Iran
And
Winter sunrise with bald eagle - Nova Scotia
January 21, 2012
It was as if the warm sun finally rose, flooding the cold winter landscape with hope as a majestic bald eagle soared into the distance.
Today I got a brief glimpse of hope as I heard for the first time in weeks from my young photographer friend in Tehran. She and her family are safe, and just knowing that, the relief was almost overwhelming to us. The danger is by no means over and so the respite from worry is short lived, but it was wonderful to hear from her. I hope they continue to be safe.
For #tbt as this was taken years ago. The Eagle is there, if you can find it!

Up Close And Personal
When I see these intelligent eyes, I'm not surprised to find they can play video games, which is more than I can do! And they do it for the social interaction, not just the treat reward.
When I learn how intelligent animals are, I'm so glad I don't eat them any more.
Have as happy a Wednesday as you can!
