Day 225 - Jersey Boys

This evening we went to a fabulous show, "Jersey Boys". Our friends Sarah and Seb bought us tickets that included supper. Peg's sister-in-law, Joyce, joined us. We had a delicious meal and then were treated to great music, singing and acting. As the Four Seasons would say, "Oh, what a night!" We arrived a bit early for the show so we decided to walk around for a bit. There was a nearby cemetery that looked more like a botanical garden.
Unfortunately, I was without my camera but had my handy iPhone once again. The picture above is a statue called "Tempo" and it's in front of the Toronto Centre of the Arts. The flower below was taken at the entrance of the cemetery.

Day 106 - Serenity

Went for a walk in the local cemetery looking for inspiration. No matter where the graveyard I always find them calming and reverent. It's a privilege to wander around and capture glimpses of people's lives. As I read the tombstones I find myself wondering what type of life they led in the time line of history. I'm in awe of those who lived such long lives and feel sadness for those who were not given the chance to experience so many of life's adventures. I guess a walk such as this helps us regain perspective and reminds us all "carpe diem' .
