….how would you interpret this week’s WPC theme of pedestrian
….Mundane Monday Challenge #129
Taken last year when my macro lens was still new and I had no idea how to use it. Wish I had taken more shots of this but I didn’t know how to change the settings at the time.
….after discovering some unfamiliar words in the latest book I’m reading
I thought it might be fun to take new words and find photos to illustrate their meaning.
…..clearing overhanging branches and wild shrubbery
I’ve lived in my neighbourhood for over 38 years and I can’t say I’ve ever seen the city sending work crews to trim the trees by the lake. I’m sure they have; I’ve just never been there to witness it. It’s quite the operation and it took several days to prune and manicure the trees in the park at the end of my street.
I’m glad they weren’t taken down completely. Toronto really prides itself on the amount of green space we have and the natural canopy that the trees provide. Many years ago it was rumoured that some of the residents discouraged the planting of new trees because they took away their view of the lake and in the dark of night they went in and cut down any new trees that were planted. Attitudes certainly have changed over the years. Last year the city went in and planted at least 20 new trees in our park alone.

….something I’d like to get better at
Not just watching people but taking pictures of people going about their normal lives. I’m somewhat hesitant to take pictures of strangers but I getting better at it. As for the quality of the photos, well that’s another issue. I’m not likely to try to get a shot more than once if the first one isn’t to my liking. I’ve tried cropping some but sometimes using the zoom on the iPhone doesn’t always produce the best quality photo.
