A Photo a Week – At Play
…thanks to Nancy Merrill for hosting A Photo a Week
My granddaughter and her second cousin got together last week and all seemed to go well as they chased each other around the room, giggling and laughing as they ran. That is until he caught her and accidentally pushed her into the wall. I could tell that it hurt and it took a few minutes of mommy cuddles to calm her down. The two cousins continued to play but the age difference of two years clearly affected how they played. My granddaughter is four and her cousin is two. She was fascinated with his computer game and he didn’t want her to play with it. He liked her stuffed toy but preferred to throw it around. I’m sure as they get older they’ll have more in common. Time will tell.


Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge – Moving Water
….thanks to Cee for hosting the Black and White Photo Challenge
I found it quite difficult to change moving water photos from colour to black and white. For some reason the amount of light in some of the photos that looked fantastic in colour were a complete washout in black and white. I tried to make some adjustments but it didn’t always work.
Thursday Doors – January 9, 2020
….thanks to Norm for hosting Thursday Doors
Like my Monday Windows post most of these doors are from my neighbourhood. Many still have Christmas wreaths hanging on the door.
A “Flow” of Creative Paintings
…thanks to Rainee for hosting the 30 Day Creativity Challenge
Although Rainee has completed her 30 days I’m only on day 9. Today my creative activity was taking in the creativity of others. I made a trip to the Women’s Art Association of Canada in Toronto and took in the new show called Flow. I was truly inspired by the work of these amazing artists.

Creativity Challenge – Days 7 and 8
….thanks to Rainee from All About Words for hosting the 30 Day Creativity Challenge
I painted a nautilus shell on day 7 but wasn’t terribly thrilled with it so I tried it again on day 8.

Amazing what a difference slowing down can make. I should have listened to Lisa Congdon more carefully the first time I tried this exercise but then for most of us we need to practice and do things over and over again to get better.
