“Good, better, best…

Never let it rest. ‘Til the good is better and the better, best.”  I remember learning this in high school; but I have probably forgotten it, more times than I’ve remembered it.  I like the Nike one – “Just do it.” – But this probably puts you at the “good” level and then you have […]

Activate is an “A” word.

OK I got a bit more done today than I might have, because I needed to post to a challenge.  Let’s face it how many of us would do a “proper” dinner, if we didn’t have people to feed.  So, I needed to contribute to a community and I completed a voice-over video, which I

An “A” word…

I am going to follow – for awhile anyway – this A-Z blog on focusing for “improvement.”  I am sure that it will be for self improvement because I have been focusing on various flaws in the house – cracks in walls, chipped paint, mould etc. and these things have not improved, by the mere

Nuit Blanche III

Here are a few more photos from Nuit Blanche 2012.  I think that it could also be called Nuit Rouge or Nuit Bleu.  It’s the lights on all night that make it. Above is Toronto’s old city hall.  Below is a display in one of the windows of the AGO.  I think that it speaks

Nuit Blanche – II

We began and ended Nuit Blanche this year at the AGO – the Art Gallery of Ontario – mainly because we found a parking spot out front and decided that we needed to use a decent washroom. Funny how some basic necessities often shape the outcome of “things.” This is the AGO with the new

Nuit Blanche 7?

We went out for Nuit Blanche again last night.  We have gone out for everyone – rain or shine err well maybe it’s glow since it started 6 or 7 years ago.  Every year is different. Sometimes the locales have shifted. Definitely the Art installations have changed. The weather is important and the number of

Focusing A-Z…

I was just cruising FB and debating whether I would enter another blog challenge when I came across this blog post. http://reigngroup.us/26-days-of-intention-transformation-from-a-to-z/ It’s by Justice Calo Reign and he is going to do a 26 day challenge toward self improvement based on the alphabet.  Everyday for 26 days, he is asking followers to “focus” on

Diamonds in the sun…

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

Ignore the Ig nobels?

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

Charmed Artist

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. It’s the doll-like charm hiding
