Maybe an unlikely spot for a cuppa tea – lots of Java no doubt – but quintessential British tea – maybe not so much!! Another heading in my photo scavenger hunt is “time.” I came across this beauty in one of the home decor shops on Mt. Pleasant. This shop always has the most amazing […]
Another heading in the photo scavenger hunt is “grain.” I had actually seen these figures last year and I remember taking a picture of one of them, then. Well, here were three in a grouping, today!!

One of the headings in my photography challenge was “street.” So I walked along Mt. Pleasant early this morning and took some “street scenes.” I couldn’t help noticing,

Hunter in repose I am reading the story of Dewey, the world famous library cat. My sister-in-law sent it to me from Edinburgh. She is also a “cat” person. It’s the story of a kitten who somehow got into the drop box of a library one bitterly cold night in Spencer, Iowa. I am only

We took a few days off from work over Easter and went for walks. On Saturday we went to the Botanical gardens in Hamilton. A.K.A. The Royal Botanical Gardens. The Cherry was in full bloom. Here she is in all her majesty – no pun intended. I was also out collecting pictures for a new
