Lens Artists Photo Challenge – Going Back
…thanks to John Steiner for hosting this week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge
I think we all appreciate photo challenges that don’t require going outside of our homes during this pandemic. We certainly aren’t travelling to exotic places but we can look back on trips we took in the past. Here are a few of my favourite trips over the last few years.
Venice, Italy
Florence, Italy
Assisi, Italy
Rome, Italy
Prince Edward County
London, England
Day 16 – Cups
…thanks to Leanne Cole for hosting the 30 Day at Home Challenge
One things I have lots of is cups. I drink coffee mostly from mugs but over the years I have inherited numerous teacups from family members.

30 Day at Home Challenge – Day 15
…thanks to Leanne Cole for hosting the 30 Day at Home Challenge
Today’s theme is ‘from the fruit bowl’.
The bowl was too yellow for my liking so I threw in some tomatoes. Tomatoes, technically, are a fruit.

April 14th, 2020 and It’s Snowing
….reminds me of the story my mother used to tell of how she remembers snow on her birthday
I have a memory, as a little girl, of huge snowfalls in early April and when I was at university we experienced some serious ice storms in April. My sister who lives in Calgary, Alberta experienced some major snowfalls over Easter and I’ve seen photos of friends from the west coast and the mid-west who are covered with the white stuff. The only good thing about snow in April is that it doesn’t tend to stay around long. My mother’s birthday by the way was on April 18th.
The white stuff that is blowing around right now but probably won’t even stay on the ground but it does come as a bit of a shock when you’ve had a relatively snow free winter.
Snow clouds
I didn’t get the camera in time to catch the mini blizzard we had and it really didn’t amount to very much. Today it is sunny and not a speck of snow anywhere.
30 Day at Home Challenge – Day 14
…I’ve finally caught up….today’s theme is Family
Thanks to Leanne Cole for hosting this fun challenge. Today we are suppose to photograph a family member. Since my husband and I are the only ones in our house right now, besides the dog, I decided to share this photo. I took this on the weekend when I was feeling particularly sad. He brought a smile to my face while he was doing what he loves to do….cook for me.
30 Day at Home Challenge – Day 13

Sketchbook Revival – Day 8 – 100 Dots
…thanks to Noah Scalin for this art activity
On day 8 Karen Abend featured Noah Scalin who showed us how to open up when you don’t know what to draw or paint. 100 dots is literally an activity where you randomly place 100 dots on a piece of paper and then you look for dots to connect to create a picture. I decided to look for a face. Here is my creation.
