Tuesday Photo Challenge – Memories

….thanks to Frank over at Dutch Goes the Photo for hosting Tuesday Photo Challenge

I know I’m a bit late for this week’s challenge but better late than never. I particularly liked this week’s theme because it’s so open ended. So I went back a year ago to see what memories I could stir up.

A year ago I spent quite a bit of time with my Dad (the oldest member of our family) and my granddaughter (the youngest member of our family). My Dad and the family attended a wonderful wedding together, the two of us went to the Royal Winter Fair and I accompanied Winnie to the park, lunch at a restaurant and the Hamilton Santa Claus Parade.P1050241

A Word a Week Photograph Challenge – Float

…..thanks to Sue Llewellyn for this week’s word ‘float’

This week’s photos use the word float as a verb and a noun, from floating in the air, on water and marching down the street as a parade float.

A Word a Week Photograph Challenge – Pots

…..thanks to Sue Llewellyn for this week’s word ‘pots’

One of my favourite photographs is of my husband standing on a ladder to stir down the tomato sauce that we were preparing for canning. The pot is huge and he couldn’t see over the top of it without elevating himself above the rim of the the pot.
