Thursday Square – Walking Through the Streets of London

….thanks to Becky B for hosting Walking Squares https://beckybofwinchester.com/2022/11/10/walking-squares-10/

Last week my husband was in London with my stepson and grandson. While there they spent a good deal of time with our son, B and his family. Here he is with B walking along a street in London. I’m assuming that J took the photo.

Remnants of Hallowe’en – Day 9 of Walking Squares

thanks to Becky B for hosting Walking Squares https://beckybofwinchester.com/2022/11/09/walking-squares-9/

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

thanks to Becky B for hosting Walking Squares https://beckybofwinchester.com/2022/11/08/walking-squares-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.

A Walk Around the Block

….thanks to Becky B for hosting Walking Squares https://beckybofwinchester.com/2022/11/06/walking-squares-6/

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

….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.

This fog was a result of the cold ground, warm air and Lake air coming together. It lasted for days.

Looking up at the leaves of this gingko tree, it felt like the foggy background illuminated the leaves

Square Odds – An Odd Number of Shoes With No Mates

….thanks to Becky B for hosting Square Odd https://beckybofwinchester.com/2022/02/27/the-square-odds-27/

When we talk about odd socks or odd shoes we usually mean that we can’t find the matching sock or shoe. I know that store displays often only put out one of a pair, probably to prevent theft.

An Odd Number – Square Odds

….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

….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.

Another Odd Window Display – Square Odds

….February 17, 2022…thanks to Becky B for hosting Square Odds https://beckybofwinchester.com/2022/02/17/the-square-odds-17/

This is not a store window for a pet store, toy store or sports store. It’s like the window dresser stopped in mid-stream and walked off the job.
