Remnants of Hallowe’en – Day 9 of Walking Squares

As soon as Hallowe’en is over and sometimes a few days before the stores start to decorate for Christmas. In the neighbourhood, however, many people leave their Hallowe’en decorations out for another week or more and soon after the Santa Claus parade in mid-November we’ll start seeing the ornamental reindeer, inflatable Santas and snowmen and colourful lights appear in front of people’s homes.

On my walk around the neighbourhood I noticed these pumpkins and skeletons are still adorning people’s yards.

An Evening Walk by the Lake – Day 8

Now that the time change occurred it’s getting darker sooner in the evenings. I headed out towards the lake which is only 100 m from my house and quickly took some shots of the city skyline of Toronto and then turned around and I got shots of the sunset. Some of you may remember that less than a week ago you couldn’t see the city because of the fog.

It wasn’t even 5:30 when I started back home and it was already dark.

Walking Through the Leaves – Day 7

Posted on November 7, 2022 by Mama Cormier

…thanks to Becky B for hosting Walking Squares in Novemberhttps://beckybofwinchester.com/2022/11/07/walking-squares-7/

As the winds start to whip up and the evening rain comes down, more and more of the leaves are falling. On my walk I’m confronted with carpets of colourful leaves on the road.

A Walk Around the Block

November, so far has been incredibly warm for this time of year. I walked around the block this morning without a sweat or a jacket. I know my family out west won’t like this comment because they are experiencing very cold temperatures and have already had lots of snow.

Walking Squares for November – November 4, 2022

Posted on November 4, 2022 by Mama Cormier

….thanks to Becky B for starting up the square challenge againhttps://beckybofwinchester.com/2022/11/04/walking-squares-4/

The theme for November is square photos taken while walking. Seeing that I try to walk every day this should be fun. The last few days have been very foggy.

EE63-D01-C-F9-A6-4-E98-A59-F-1-AA63-D46-DD49-1-201-a — *This new growth seemed to pop with the fog in the background*

98-C2-C67-C-F5-F4-42-CC-A00-E-5-E9-C39-EFA04-B-1-201-a — *Looking up at the leaves of this gingko tree, it felt like the foggy background illuminated the leaves*

A Trio of Odd Numbers – Square Odds, February 26, 2022

It’s not hard to find an odd number because half the numbers in the world are odd (not divisible by 2) but find an odd number that is made up of only odd numbers is a different story.

An Odd Number – Square Odds

Posted on February 20, 2022 by Mama Cormier

….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

Posted on February 19, 2022 by Mama Cormier

….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.
