For those of you who were following the photo scavenger hunt that I was in, in November, here are the last three pictures that I posted. First for “smile” It’s a large Gingerbread cookie that was in a shop window. The bakery is called “The Flakey Tart” on Mt. Pleasant and I thought that it’s […]
This is another heading in the scavenger hunt, I am in. I spent a lot of time thinking and looking for something that would fall under the heading – abandoned. I walk to the cemetery a lot and there are a lot of seemingly abandoned graves there – this is very sad. However, I walk
I have a love-hate relationship with the winter. For example, there is a lot that I can find to like about winter – white fluffy snow, warm fireplaces, hot beverages, flavourful soups and stews, cozy clothes, skiing, skating etc. What I really dislike about winter are the short days. This is what I mean. Here it
This is for the heading “Stranger” in the photo challenge. I believe that he is a Maine Coon cat that’s a little feral. There was one in the area a few years ago, who just seemed to disappear – maybe he’s come back. Anyway he was at the back door this morning so I was
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 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
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 am now in a scavenger hunt in my photography group. We have a month to take 18 pictures under various headings. This picture is for the heading “random.” OK it is not lace, or knitting and it maybe isn’t even pretty; but I spent over an hour with my tripod and even spent some
So, did you hear the one about the woman who went into the camera store and came out with a $300.00 lens cap?….Well, that really isn’t how it went…sure, we know…. Well actually I lost my lens cap….could be worse. I know that it will surface one day, after all – A. who would steal a
