Looking Up Directions – Day 17
….thanks Becky B for hosting January Squares https://beckybofwinchester.com/2021/01/17/square-up-17/
Most of us use our phones and GPS to find directions but there are still lots of old fashion ways to find your way around. This sign in High Park is one of them.

Six on Saturday – Jan. 16, 2021
….thanks to the Propagator for hosting Six on Saturday ,https://thepropagatorblog.wordpress.com/2021/01/09/six-on-saturday-09-01-2021/
These photos are not from my garden. Today I walked through the gardens in High Park. Normally there would be snow on the ground but this year we’ve had unusually mild temperatures and next to no snow in Toronto. Little pops of green are everywhere, as well as the browns of winter (which I also love).

Dried Up – Day 16
…thanks to Becky B for hosting January Squares https://beckybofwinchester.com/2021/01/16/square-up-16/
Who says that dried up means ugly or lacking in beauty? I personally love how dried up leaves and plants look on a winter’s day.

….the weather has been so mild that the green grocers are able to display their cut flowers outside
Catching Up
….thanks to Xingfu Mama for hosting Pull Up a Seat and Becky B for January Squares https://xingfumama.blog/2021/01/15/pull-up-a-seat-photo-challenge-2021-week-3/ https://beckybofwinchester.com/2021/01/15/square-up-15/
I rarely combine two challenges into one but this shot in High Park today worked for Pull Up a Seat and January Squares. Day 15.
I’m a little behind so I’m catching up with three squares today. The next two are for days 13 and 14. The first one is Looking Up the Path. The path is almost completely hidden because of the leaves but there is a path there and the following photo is Uprooted. In the naturalized area of High Park the trees fall naturally when they die unless they are a hazard to the walkers and then they are cut down to avoid any accidents.
Another Art Day With Winnie
…I guess Winnie likes making art with her Oma over Zoom
Today Winnie wanted to make more collage people. Most of her time was spent cutting out pictures from her Chirp magazine and then gluing about four pieces onto a sheet of paper. While she was doing that I took the precut pieces I had in my bowl collage papers and started on my Mrs. Potato Head creation, with Winnie’s approval of course. I love how she says ‘that’s perfect’ every time I showed her my progress.
We also did some more intuitive art that Winnie directed but I’ve yet to finish that piece. Unfortunately I don’t have Winnie’s art to show you.
This is my art for day 14 of my year long art challenge…..maybe I should make it a month long challenge.
New Flower (January 14, 2021) – Yellow Tulips
…haven’t posted flowers in awhile because I haven’t been able to get out
Today I had to take my husband to the hospital for blood work and his annual check-up in the oncology department. Currently the hospitals don’t allow visitors to accompany patients so I spent time walking through High Park and up and down Roncesvalles. Not many stores are open but the green grocers had flowers sitting in front of their stores and I treated myself to a bunch of these yellow tulips. My husband is fine by the way and his cancer is still in remission after 9 years.
