I wasn’t thinking of writing this photo up – but the more I look at it, the more I see some interesting relationships. It has an other worldliness about it and for people who would like to make their products, services and /or themselves out of this world, here is my take. 1. The photo was […]
I am still taking pictures in the photo a day challenge. I actually got up my nerve to post this one to the Globe and Mail’s website. They set challenges every week and people from all over the world take pictures – all over the world. Here is the one I posted for the challenge
Here’s another photo in the photo a day challenge. I took this at The Brickworks – a reclaimed city dump that’s been turned into an environmental centre. I was actually there to take pictures of water lilies in the ponds. It’s so much better to have water filtering through ponds and reeds rather that chunks

Black-Eyed Susans This is day 5 in my photo a day challenge and I just happened to have picked this jug of Black-Eyed Susans. There was something about the jug that reminded me of the sunflower pictures of Van Gogh. Van Gogh “Sunflowers” The picture is actually a cross between a Van Gogh and a
Here is another photo in the photo a day challenge. I took this photo while waiting to pick up my daughter from the bus. Let there be Light!! I have entitled it “Let there be Light”, as though turning on a light were something as easy to execute, as snapping one’s fingers – OK, yes
