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

…the truth. Last night my son asked if we had any cook books. I have a library’s worth of cook books!!!  He needed some samples of typography and lay-out for one of his university courses. This was my shining hour – OK 5 mins. I started with – The Joy of Cooking..”This is from my

Halifax – a second home.

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

Snow????

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
