About Me
- Eric Valentine
- I have been a bit of a World traveler. I was born in England and at age 32 moved to Canada. More recently this last few years I have come down with a debilitating illness that although it has no cure it can be managed sensibly. My interests now are my lovely wife Elizabeth, nature and music. I love writing at which I am always working on improving.
I am a Proud Member of The Shameless Lions Writing Circle
Sangilak
He burst forth from the past to now
Fiercely proud, strong, erect.
His torso adorned and glowing still,
Remnants of the days of battle royal,
The figures, depicting scars from days of old.
I first saw him standing there -
Covered it seemed in a hue of snow?
On his chest emblazoned in red,
“Is that a red maple leaf I see,
Or some such facsimile ?”
I said astounded! ~ hesitantly, ~
“You are Canadian ~ aren’t you”

Eric - Simply beautiful!
Yes it is Swen. The colors are a lot brighter and nicer this year. Hope things are well down your way.. ;)
Always ready for a Virtual Visit to Willow Park.
Yes Forsythia, a visit is always so good, especially as we have enjoyed some balmy weather days lately.
I guess it won't be long now till winter again, but even winter has its own beauty.. :)
What beautiful trees Eric. :) It looks like a wonderful day to be in the park.
Hi Z, this whole week has been wonderful weather. It is nice in the park on days like that. :)
LadyTy's tagline comes to mind Eric..."Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.~George Eliot"

Hi Sam! Nice to see you again. Thank U about the pics my friend. :)
Stay well. :)
Sorry I haven't been around much lately ERIC. However, your pictures remind me of how much I enjoyed this time of years when I lived in upstate New York. Oh, I've missed those spectacular colors ever since I moved on 36 years ago. :~)
I've had the same problem Leon, life keeps one quite busy.
The colors are very nice this year compared to last, enjoy my friend. :)
