Cee’s Odd Ball Challenge – Week 30

Posted on September 21, 2014 by Mama Cormier

….Cee always inspires me to look for the unusual when I shoot photos

Join in on the fun and post your favourite odd ball photo and let Cee know you want to share your photo(s).

Today we cleaned up the garden and instead of throwing away the small and misshaped carrots I created art with some of them (here). The best part is when you’re done you get to eat it. I wouldn’t let my husband nibble on some of them because I may come back later today and create some more art but in the meantime I took photos of some of the misshapen little gems.

Sunday Trees _ 130

…..the trees are finally starting to turn green here

Both trees weathered the ice storm this past winter without too much damage. In the first photo you can seen the CN Tower in the background. Not too much green on this tree yet but upon closer inspection one can see the buds beginning to appear. In the second photo this grand old willow is bringing forth a blanket of spring greens. In a couple of weeks the foliage on this tree will obscure all views of the homes in the background. Both trees are situated on Ward’s Island, off the shores of Toronto.

….there’s just a slight tinge of green starting to appear on the treetops

Everything seems late this year. This time last year I was writing about the cherry blossoms in High Park (here). We’re looking at another week or two before that will happen. Seeing that there is no canopy of blossoms or greenery I will focus on the bark formations. I’ve always loved the texture of bark.
