….this week’s photo theme is order
I love things that are orderly but I tend to live in messy surroundings. Maybe when I retire I can spend some time ‘ordering’ my environment.

Ballerinas
…..a few weeks ago The National Ballet Co. came to our school and demonstrated the fundamentals of ballet and the preparation that takes place before a show
Our entire school population, from kindergarten to grade 5, were lucky enough to see the show and ask questions of the dancers. As a follow-up I did an art lesson with my kindergarten classes and used a picture book about Degas and the little ballerina, Marie to demonstrate some ballet poses and highlight some of the work that Degas created.
I showed the classes how to draw a simple ballerina, using chalk pastels. Some of the boys asked if they could draw male dancers and I was interested to see how they would do that since I spent so much time showing them how to draw a tutu.
As always, I was blown away with their creations. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

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.
