The pinky coral on my toenails is almost completely worn off from my Pedi in September. It’s now just on my big toes, with a dab or so here and there. It was from our getaway to Walter’s Falls. This photo was taken that September 17th…it held up well. And lets just clarify that this is THE BEST my feet have ever looked, and that … Continue reading Pink Coral Toenails
Which incidentally was exactly what I was just doing. Standing in the bathroom, having a smoke with the window open. It’s so mild out today. Last night it was all wet and foggy, this morning almost 1/2 the snow is gone. I Am the noises out my window the distant bark of dogs the snowmobiles hum You are a distant scar Wrote … Continue reading From out my window
Love is so many things, at different times. Love of a child, a mate, an idea. In my collection of photos, in the old of my grandparents and my own shots, there are a few that stand out. This one-shot for me though says it all. This shot is of my Grandparents, it was taken around the mid-late 1930’s. From this one picture, you can … Continue reading It’s in the Look
I had to, I couldn’t resist it any longer. This writing challenge finally gives me the excuse I’ve needed to use my photos from my trip to Montreal in 2005. I LOVE MONTREAL. Montreal, in three paragraphs? Only? Lets see. Located in Canada, in the province of Quebec, a visit to Montreal is like being transported to some exotic European city. It is vibrant, historic, … Continue reading Montreal Is…

~♦~ I go out ~♦~ ~♦~ I come in ~♦~ It’s everywhere, all around are bits and pieces; those innocuous red Lanterns found on walks, and white bows from a funeral basket bring flashes. Here I can’t escape them. Every room holds more reminders of my time with Tim. I never did make it to the bedroom … tomorrow is another day. It’s not that … Continue reading Bits and pieces
All of the following photographs are from an album I thought I had accidentally deleted in a major file transfer I did when I bought my 1TB hard-drive. They are from 2009, the first year Tim and I were here. Was quite a surprise to find on my old Lacie drive. So there was all kinds of examples of light that first year, sunlight, fire … Continue reading The light from days past
We often confuse delicate with fragile. Such as this Purple Shamrock [Oxalis triangularis], it’s fragility is all an illusion. It’s delicate beauty hides its inner strength; it’s tuber. I’ve had this little beauty for 20 years — twice I thought I killed it, and twice I was wrong. Meant watering a pot of what looked like dirt for a few weeks, but I just call … Continue reading Illusions of Fragility
“If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things in nature have a message you understand, Rejoice, for your soul is alive”. Eleanora Duse “I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue … Continue reading Blue
As an avid bird watcher for me the most pronounced herald of the change of seasons is a change in the bird population. Both the colour of, and the type of birds changes throughout the year. This post is part of the Weekly Photo Challenge Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Changing Seasons
I’m in need of some cheering up. So I decided to go into my collection of my photographs and post some of my favorite shots from over the years. Dates from, oh gosh, 3 years ago for some. All have so many good memories attached. So many great stories, or just WOW moments, some beautiful things…all for their own reasons. Continue reading From flys to furry babies
Ok, so let’s try this again. Some of you received this post and what do your wondering eyes behold? Nothing. That is because I am composing these posts under less than ideal circumstances. First and foremost, getting my laser mouse to go where I want it to is a Jedi mind trick. My laser keyboard key’s stick, my OS for my Mac Mini is obsolete, … Continue reading Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: LINES
