An Odd Number – Square Odds

….five swans

In the last photo I posted 1 swan and in this one there are five. Odd because yesterday there were no other swans to be seen and today, in the same area there were so many more. I captured this group together but there were more out on the lake.

The Odd Man Out – Square Odds

….thanks to Becky B for hosting Square Odds, here’s mine for Feb. 19, 2022https://beckybofwinchester.com/2022/02/19/the-square-odds-19/

Despite the very cold weather a large gaggle of geese and ducks were swimming close to the beach over at Col. Sam Smith Park yesterday. Right in the middle of this group of waterfowl was a lone swan.

Square Odds in Store Windows – February 11, 2022

…thanks to Becky B for hosting Square Odds for the month of February

This trio (odd number) of mylar birds in the window of a clothing store struck me as odd. I’m finding it difficult to see a seasonal theme….winter, Valentine’s Day, Family Day? What am I missing? Do you see it?

Lucille is an Odd Duck….

…or should I say bird?

Lucille may be odd looking but she brings a smile to my face as does most of the art that Deniz Seker makes. She is one of the artists that is a member of WAAC and one of the first people that I was instantly drawn to when I first joined the Women’s Art Association. Thanks Deniz for introducing Lucille to us at the Collage Show.

I’m a Fan of …..Swans

….thanks to Jez for hosting the I’m a fan of….challenge, this week he chose swanshttps://jezbraithwaite.blog/2022/01/24/swans-1-fan-of-142/

I am a fan of swans and have lots of photos of them in the archives but I decided to go for a walk late this afternoon to see if I could find some close to home. I walked east of the house and stayed close to the edge of the parks looking for these beautiful birds. I one area where I usually see up to a dozen or more was inaccessible because the ramp to the lake was piled high with snow from the ploughs.

I continued further east and finally came across a flock of them about a kilometre or more from the house. Here are my swans in winter on the shores of Lake Ontario in Toronto.
