….you can tell I had a lot of time on my hands while waiting for my son’s surgery to happen
Hospitals can be creepy places late at night when most people have gone home to their own beds and the patients have the lights turned off so that they can sleep as well.
One evening last week, while I was waiting for our son’s surgery to take place, I took a walk through the empty halls of St. Joe’s looking for interesting subjects for a photo shoot. Here are a few things that I observed.
….this week’s WordPress Photo Challenge is circle
….for the last week of the year I just had to participate in one of my favourite photo challenges
Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge allows us to post any photo that doesn’t really fit into any other category. This past weekend when I walked through the neighbourhood I noticed these bushes that had been cut back, leaving only the base of the the plant. Sometimes they literally grew from the rocks.
…this week’s WordPress Challenge is Now
This week we are encouraged to embrace the ‘now’ and share photos of the present moment. This afternoon I took a walk through the neighbourhood. It was getting late and the sky was cloudy. It was also very brisk and I was glad that I brought my gloves with me. Here are a few things that I saw on my journey to get more steps in today and to capture the things we take for granted.
….every week Becca Givens posts beautiful photos of trees…check it out
The weather continues to be mild but the temperatures did drop in the last two days. Today was brisk but sunny. The forecast calls for more mild weather in the next week. No white Christmas this year.
….thanks to Becca Givens for hosting Sunday Trees
I’m a week behind. Last weekend we drove to a Christmas Tree farm because our daughter wanted to cut down a tree for their first Christmas in their new home. It became a family affair.
Our daughter’s house is an old Victorian style home with very high ceilings so they wanted a nice tall tree.
….this week’s theme for WPC is Gathering
….this week WordPress is encouraging us to share our less than perfect photos
Some of my long time followers may remember these photos from my birthday in 2014. My husband loves to ride his bike everywhere; however, on that day he learned that not everything transports well over the handle bars of a bicycle. Case in point….my birthday cake….a large, specially made Black Forest Cake, made with real whipped cream and loads of cherry filling.
None the less, it was delicious!
…..Aisla from Where’s My Backpack has challenged us to post photos of fabric
I’ve always loved fabrics. My parents opened their own fabric/wool store when I was 16 years old. They decided on this business partly due to the fact that as a family we sewed a lot of our own clothes and I already knew that I wanted to be a home economics/family studies teacher.
Recently my husband and I went to an exhibit at the ROM where they featured the traditional fabrics and clothes of Mexico.
