Sunday Trees – 290
……only two days late
This is my flowering crab apple tree. It is always the last to bloom on our street.

WPC – Evanescent
…..soon passing out of sight, memory, or existence; quickly fading or disappearing:
“a shimmering evanescent bubble”
Last week the skyline was absolutely white. Something I’ve never seen in 38 years of living here. A few minutes after I took the shot the skyline went grey.


This was a WordPress weekly photo challenge using the word evanescent
Tuesdays of Texture – Week 21
…..thanks to Narami for hosting Tuesdays of Texture
Today’s video for Carla Sonheim’s on line class, 365- A Year Long Class, featured a photographer who photographs bricks in Chicago. I immediately went out after dinner and photographed the brick in my neighbourhood.

Share Your World – May 22, 2017
….thanks to Cee for hosting Share Your World
What one thing have you not done that you really want to do?
I really want to travel to the east coast and the west coast of Canada and I’d like to do part of it on the train. I’d also like to go on a cruise along the west coast up to Alaska or a river cruise in Europe.
How often do you get a haircut?
I get my hair cut about every two months. I’m hoping to get an appointment for later this week.
In regards to puzzle what’s your choice: jigsaw, crossword, word search or numeric puzzles?
Presently I like numeric puzzles but I’ve done all of them at one time or another. I wouldn’t mind tackling a new jigsaw puzzle but I need a space where I can leave it for a undetermined length of time.
How many cities have you lived? You can share the number of physical residences and/or the number of cities.
As a baby I lived in two locations before emigrating to Canada. In Canada we started in Toronto, moved to Oakville for 4 years and then back to Toronto. After high school I moved to Guelph for 4 years where I went to university and then back to Toronto where I’ve been ever since.
Optional Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
I’m grateful that a very busy week is over and all the events that went smoothly. This week I look forward to dinner with friends on Wednesday, a retirement dinner, put on by the board of education on Thursday and a luncheon at a student’s house on Friday. On Saturday I’m attending a baby shower for my niece and on Sunday I’m going to a concert with friends. Sounds like another busy week but this time there’s very little work involved on my part.
Cheers!
