Barcelona

I know that I had promised pictures of Barcelona, well, I have finally worked through some small arc on my MAC learning curve and have been able to upload a slide show to Youtube of most of my pictures.  I’ll do another post with Nicky’s slide that has video in it as well!!! Here is […]

Backyard Lace

The challenge in the Globe and Mail camera club this week is to take pictures in your backyard and post them.  The idea being, I guess, is that the really good photographer can take the ordinary and make it extraordinary. Here’s the link to some pretty interesting pictures of really nothing special, except that the photographer has

The Tree Scarf….

When is a tree a scarf?  When it is turned into one.  I was out for a walk yesterday for about 5 miles – getting ready for “The Way” – not sure it will happen; but I’m keeping the dream alive.  Anyway there were some awesome trees along the way that have to be turned

5 things that bring me peace…

I’m back!!!

I couldn’t connect to the WIFI avalable in the flat that we rented for 10 days in Barcelona so I have a lot of catching up to do.  My two kids had no problem connecting with their Macs; but there was some sort of incompatibility with windows and a Dell program on my computer.  Believe me
