….. go about your day with eyes wide open and take a photo of something you saw.

Yesterday the weather had turned from a balmy six degrees celcius on Saturday to a frigid minus 11. The day hadn’t gone exactly as planned.  I had a breakfast meeting at 10:30 that didn’t involve breakfast. The meeting went well and when it was over I drove to the mall to spend the rest of my gift certificate. I bought costume jewellery that I didn’t need but I couldn’t resist the bargains and I do love jewellery. Then I stopped at the Lindt chocolate outlet on the way home and had the first food of the day…. dark chocolate samples.

When I got home I finally had a healthy lunch at about 2:30. K started making a great soup for dinner and while it simmered on the stove he decided to do our daily walk before dinner. His thinking being that when he got back he’d be ready for a hearty warm soup. Remember it was -11 degrees outside. Initially I opted not to do the walk. After my husband left to do the walk on his own I remembered that I hadn’t done the photo challenge for the day.

I bundled up and decided to walk east, the opposite direction that we normally do our walk. Eventually I would meet up with my husband and then I could turn around and walk back with him. I also thought that it would be interesting to see the city from a different point of view. It was already starting to get dark and the clouds over the skyline were reflecting the setting sun in the west.

I tried to get some shots of pussy willows that I saw on the walk but it was too windy and all the shots were blurry. The soup by the way was delicious. I probably should have taken pictures of that.
