More on seeing what isn’t there. Here is a picture I took this summer after some rain. It’s a spider’s web with rain drops. I think that it looks like lace with beads. My photography group, which anyone can join with any type of camera, is doing some interesting postings in black and white. I […]
Not me. I love the fact that there is a group out there willing to comment on some of the insanity in this world. Sometimes someone or some group has to hold up a STOP sign to those pursuing the ever-decreasing circle of their own self importance, lest they do themselves an injury 🙂 Here
I love the work of Shary Boyle. I have written about her before. I became fascinated with her Art because she created figures, a little like Royal Doulton collectables, except that she dressed her “people” in real lace dipped in porcelain and they all had 6 fingers to each hand.

My husband just booked our daughter’s flights for Thanksgiving – only she isn’t coming home – she’s flying to Halifax. I think that she must be homesick for a place she fell in love with, even before she arrived there, three years ago to start her undergraduate degree at Dalhousie. We fell in love with
My daughter called to say that it snowed in Thunder Bay today. I have heard stories that the snow starts in mid Sept and ends in mid May, but I have always presumed that these were exaggerations. I am not sure that it actually snowed in Eqaluit today. Thunder Bay may be a micro climate

This is a quotation from Winston Churchill. It formed the opening lines of the president’s address to the graduating class at Dalhousie 2012. And here is a video of the amazing proof of this belief. You will need Kleenex. He sings The Rose, but that’s not all there is. Have a very successful day!!
