Up the Flagpole – Day 19

…thanks to Becky B for hosting January Squares, https://beckybofwinchester.com/2021/01/19/square-up-19/

It was a pretty grey day when I took this shot and the flag looks a little sad.

On day 18 of SquareUp I found this lovely stream, up the hill in High Park but it seems like someone turned off the water or it’s frozen somewhere further back.

Looking Up Directions – Day 17

Most of us use our phones and GPS to find directions but there are still lots of old fashion ways to find your way around. This sign in High Park is one of them.

Dried Up – Day 16

Who says that dried up means ugly or lacking in beauty? I personally love how dried up leaves and plants look on a winter’s day.

Catching Up

Posted on January 15, 2021 by Mama Cormier

….thanks to Xingfu Mama for hosting Pull Up a Seat and Becky B for January Squares https://xingfumama.blog/2021/01/15/pull-up-a-seat-photo-challenge-2021-week-3/ https://beckybofwinchester.com/2021/01/15/square-up-15/

I rarely combine two challenges into one but this shot in High Park today worked for Pull Up a Seat and January Squares. Day 15.

I’m a little behind so I’m catching up with three squares today. The next two are for days 13 and 14. The first one is Looking Up the Path. The path is almost completely hidden because of the leaves but there is a path there and the following photo is Uprooted. In the naturalized area of High Park the trees fall naturally when they die unless they are a hazard to the walkers and then they are cut down to avoid any accidents.

New Flower (January 14, 2021) – Yellow Tulips

Posted on January 14, 2021 by Mama Cormier

…haven’t posted flowers in awhile because I haven’t been able to get out

Today I had to take my husband to the hospital for blood work and his annual check-up in the oncology department. Currently the hospitals don’t allow visitors to accompany patients so I spent time walking through High Park and up and down Roncesvalles. Not many stores are open but the green grocers had flowers sitting in front of their stores and I treated myself to a bunch of these yellow tulips. My husband is fine by the way and his cancer is still in remission after 9 years.
