“The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.”
― Albert Einstein
“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson
As I take my daily walks with my camera in hand, I’m alway in the state of wonderment with the beauty that surrounds me every day. I’m saddened by the fact that so many people never see what is right in front of their eyes. Many evenings I have run out of the house with my camera in hand to catch a beautiful sunset or quietly stood by my back door to catch the birds and squirrels come to the feeder.
Thursday Trios -Tulips and Geese
…spring is definitely here
If you have any photos of trios I’d love to see them. Just copy my link and paste it into your post and I’ll get a pingback.
Water, Water Everywhere – Real Pond vs Weather Created Pond
….after a heavy downpour on Saturday the ground was so saturated that ponds appeared over the grass
The ducks loved it and enjoyed their new pond for at least a day. They aren’t that evident in my photos because they swam further away when I walked closer to the edge of the newly formed pond.
The Pond at Col. Sam Smith Park, after being almost completely drained of water a month ago has come back to its former self probably due to the heavy rainfall on the weekend. Sadly the day was still overcast but at least the rain had stopped.
Macro Monday – More Colour
…a trip to the Greenhouse presented me with some beautiful and colourful close-ups
On my walk today, it was very overcast but I still love the beauty in these dried leaves, milk weed pods and vines.

Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge – Two
…thanks to Sue W and GC for hosting Weekly Prompts https://weeklyprompts.com/2023/03/25/weekly-prompts-weekend-challenge-two/
I’m always so focused on finding trios for my Thursday Trios Challenge that I had to really search my archives to find ‘twos’.
The Quilt Show at Neilson Park
…if you have no plans for tomorrow and need something to do on a rainy day head over to Neilson Park….you won’t be disappointed
I haven’t done any quilting in years but I always like to see what people are up to in the quilting world. Not only were there great quilts to look at and buy but there were vendors in one room selling everything you would ever need to start your own quilt. In another room the Quilters Guild at Neilson Park were selling ready made items and selling off some surplus supplies for all kinds of crafters and artists. I bought buttons, laces, ends of fabric and numerous other things that I’m going to include in some of my collages.
The highlight of the show of course is the wonderful selection of quilts on display throughout the entire centre.
The show was well attended today and we met people who came all the way from Sudbury, North Bay, St. Catharines and Waterdown to attend the show. It is open again on Saturday from 10:00 till 5:00. You can enjoy some coffee, tea and sweet treats in the café and even try your luck at the raffle table.
