If you have any trios to share I’d love to see them. Just copy my link and paste it into your post. It’s that easy.

Where do I start with the prompt ‘garden’? It seems that at least 50% of my posts are around flowers. I’ve decided to go back and find some of the more interesting gardens that I’ve visited over the years.
The Royal Botanical Gardens in Hamilton, ON



Queen Mary’s Rose Garden in London, England


Sunflowers in Tiny County, ON

Gardens at the Chateau Royale in Amboise, France



Curve Garden in London, England


Phoenix Gardens in London, England

Centennial Park Conservatory

….walking through the neighbourhood streets
It didn’t look like I was going to get a walk in today but the rain was short lived. When the showers subsided I decided to take a quick stroll along some of the streets in my neighbourhood. The gardens are really starting to come together and the colours are wonderful. I’ve noticed that there is a campaign against hate and some lawns have signs denouncing hate and a number of windows have neon hearts prominently displayed where passersby can see them.












…..Happy Easter everyone

Bokeh means blurring and a photo with the main subject in focus and the background blurred is an example of Bokeh.
Today I practised this technique at the gardens of the Chateau Royal in Amboise.

I think I can safely say that winter has come to an end. Here’s proof.

Contrasting colours or complementary colours are opposite each other on the colour wheel. They are often used in costumes and uniforms because together the colours really stand out. The following are examples of complementary colours: purple and yellow, red and green and orange and blue.

This summer I’ve spent as much time as possible visiting art galleries, museums and gardens. The first group of photos are from the grounds surrounding the McMichael Gallery in Kleinberg. These amazing sculptures were created by Ivan Eyre.




The next set were taken at the AGO from the Rebecca Belmore show. Rebecca is an Anishinaabekwe artist who is known for her performance and installation work.
