Roda’s Critter Connection – April 9, 2108

Posted on April 9, 2018 by Mama Cormier

…..despite the icy temperatures yesterday I ventured down to lake

I never tire of seeing the swans. Yesterday I brought with me the telephoto lens that fits onto my iPhone. I’m not sure I really needed it but I wanted to get as close as possible without scaring them off.

Thanks to Roda for the hosting theCritter Connection Challenge.

WPC – Smile

Posted on April 7, 2018 by Mama Cormier

….thanks to WordPress for this week’s theme smile

Today we woke up to grey skies and soon after it started to snow. Later in the afternoon the sun came out but it was short lived as a north west wind blew through bringing with it a blustery storm. I couldn’t believe how quickly the weather changed.

This is the view from our daughter’s house in Hamilton.

Fortunately the blizzard only lasted about 10 minutes and once again the sun came out and so did my smile. Here are a few shots of blue sky, the sun and a trumpet of swans that reappeared when the weather changed. All things that bring a smile to my face after this long weird winter and quirky start to spring.

…..not as late as last week’s Challenge

Thanks Cee for hosting the Which Way Photo Challenge. Your challenges always challenge me to look for the unusual and sometimes mundane subjects. Here are a few shots that I took on my walk a few days ago.

More Signs That Spring is Here

….but I haven’t yet removed my snow tires

The shrubs and trees are starting to develop their buds, crocus are starting to emerge from the hard cold ground and I finally took down my Christmas lights.

These seagulls let you get pretty close before they waddle away. I think they’re eternal optimists and hope that all humans have food for them.

Thursday Doors – March 29, 2018

Posted on March 29, 2018 by Mama Cormier

…..I love red doors

Thanks to Norm for hosting Thursday Doors. I haven’t participated in awhile. It seems like I haven’t been anywhere exciting or interesting enough to take photos of doors lately. Walking home from the library the other day I started to notice some beautiful red doors in the neighbourhood and I had recently taken a photo of a red door in my daughter’s neck of the woods.

With that in mind I decided to focus on the colour of doors and with that in mind I could have a different theme each week for quite some time. So that said here are my first photos of RED doors.
