…thanks Cee for hosting the odd ball photo challenge
Fresh tulip lying on a winter beach
Don’t want to imagine what this is spewing into the lake
A worn park bench
No idea what this is. A ride, an exercise device??????

….I may be a little late with Cee’s call for Duck Duck Goose but yesterday’s walk gave me ample material for this week’s challenge
….with American Thanksgiving coming up this week Cee has asked us to share what we’re grateful for
What are you grateful for in regard to:
Your home life?
….having a roof over my head and being mortgage free and having a wonderful place to go to in the summer
…..that my children are all happily married and that my husband is on the mend
Your blogging community?
…..for my loyal followers who comment regularly
Your city or immediate area in which you live?
…..for being clean, vibrant and safe
…..that I live close to water that I can see every day and safely drink from
….. for it’s diversity
You?
…..that I have a husband who loves me, three successful children and a beautiful granddaughter
I’m grateful for an exceptionally beautiful week of warm and sunny weather; something that is very unusual for this time of year. I’m also grateful that I was able to get my snow tires on my car before the snow really begins to fall.
I’m looking forward to a three day camping trip with our grade five students. We’ll be travelling about 2 1/2 north of the city. Before you think I’m completely bonkers let me clarify that we aren’t sleeping in tents. We have cabins to sleep in.
I’m also looking forward to seeing my sister from Calgary on the weekend. She’s flying in with her husband to visit our Dad before this big move into the retirement home, spend some time with me, visit friends in Georgetown and visit her mother-in-law who lives in Ottawa. It will be a busy weekend for her.
….this week’s WordPress Photo Challenge is Chaos
….next to trees I love photos of water
….normally we start to experience cooler temperatures before the onset of autumn
The first day of fall is only one day away, September 22. You would hardly know that by the clothes people wear to work and out on the street. Sandals, shorts and sleeveless tops and dresses are still the norm. Even the evenings are still pleasantly warm.
Today I witnessed sailboats out on the lake in the late afternoon hours and the swans, geese and ducks are in no hurry to fly south. There are signs, though, that autumn is close at hand. The leaves are starting to change colour, many flowers are starting to whither, plants are going to seed and bushes are ripe with red and purple berries.
….from the shores of Lake Ontario on the west side of Toronto we were blessed with a beautiful harvest moon.
…..this week’s challenge is to capture a scene with an ‘edge’
….growing by the Lake
….actually the moon was to the right of the city tonight
When I was out earlier this evening the moon was a beautiful golden ball sitting just above the horizon line with a wispy cloud crossing in front of it. I didn’t have my camera with me and when I returned home dinner was on the table. A half hour later the moon was much higher in the sky and the colour had changed from amber yellow to silver.
