This photo is for the heading “November” in the photo scavenger hunt that I am in. There is something almost painful about November. I see it in the trees and the sky. The trees are spare and the sky broods. The melancholy is visceral. How do you capture this feeling in art? Ansel Adams has done […]
This is in answer to a little blog challenge that Cricket Walker has posted in my Facebook blogging group. You are to complete the statement. “If I could….. If I could take some time off or divide myself in two and have one of me at Infiknit, I would take the other “me” on a
I think that these maybe Bittersweet berries, I’m not sure. Even if they aren’t, they are like bittersweet, in the sense that they are brightly coloured red berries that remain on the vine all through winter – a little like the small things that brighten a day when the hours are long and dark and
This picture is for the heading “liquid” in the photo scavenger hunt challenge that I’m in on Facebook. It is actually a close up of a bronze statue in a little parkette near where I work. The statue is called “harvester.” I guess it is left to our imagination to decide whether it’s just water
Elevenses is a fine British tradition – a bit like High Tea only earlier. It’s a little break in the workday about 11 o’clock, when you sit down and have a cuppa. It may be tea or coffee or something to act as a pick-me-up. Well, I didn’t really mean this type of “elevens” when

There we were having a quiet Saturday night dinner, when all of a sudden there were “fireworks” – you know the ceremonial kind. The ones that you do on Canada day – 24th of May and July 4th. Well, OK we knew it was Guy Fawkes – Nov 5; but did the rest of the
This picture is for the heading “old” in my photo scavenger hunt challenge. It’s my mother’s doll. My mother died dancing, celebrating my father’s 90th birthday. She was wearing her sparkly dress, her silver dancing shoes and she looked like a “million bucks.” After the Anniversary Waltz and a fast jive number, she was just
I was scouting about for another picture in my photo scavenger hunt challenge, when I walked past the old Chicken Deli now re-named People’s Chicken. Now Chicken Deli was an institution on Mt. Pleasant for probably more than 30 years. It used to host “The Climax Jazz Band” and a number of other iconic entertainers.
