….. thanks to Jennifer Nicole Wells

For this week’s photo challenge Jennifer chose the word Horse. Last summer I photographed a number of horses in Italy. They were all in large public squares and were obviously working horses.

…..a great day at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Hamilton

I must have known that Cee would come up with a challenge involving walking paths and trails. Yesterday, while walking through the rock gardens at the Royal Botanical Gardens I took a lot of photos of the beautiful foot paths and trails that wound through this scenic gem in Hamilton.

WPC – Satisfaction

Posted on July 26, 2017 by Mama Cormier

….this week’s WordPress photo challenge is satisfaction

One thing that I great satisfaction from is organizing my stuff. Right now I’m sitting in my cluttered bedroom, trying to figure out how to organize my art materials into a small space at the far end of the bedroom. One thing that I have done is sort through all my finished art projects and I’ve actually put them up on the walls. I had contemplated selling off everything very cheaply just to recoup the cost of the materials I used but there were too many pieces that I like too much. I’ve discovered that I’m getting a lot of satisfaction seeing my art on my walls.

Tuesday Photo Challenge – Woods

Posted on July 25, 2017 by Mama Cormier

…..thanks to Frank for this week’s photo challenge – woods

Next to water I love the woods. My cottage sits in the woods a little ways back from the water’s edge. There are some definite advantages to having the cottage tucked away in the woods. One of them is that on very hot summer days it is always cooler in the shade of the forest.

Lesson 200 – 100 Photographs

Posted on July 21, 2017 by Mama Cormier

…..Carla Sonheim gave us as assignment to go out and shoot 100 photos in the neighbourhood

I love this type of assignment. It gets me out walking and it makes me really look at a my surroundings. Once we took the photos we were to share our favourites. Here are 68 of mine.
