Sunday Stills: Fur and Feathers

With the time change Frances’ schedule is all out of whack today. When she started to cry at 4:00 this afternoon I couldn’t figure out why and then I realized that her internal clock was telling her it was dinner time. I decided to distract her a bit and I took her for a walk for as long and far as she would let me. As she approaches 15 years of age her walks are getting shorter all the time.

Thursday Trios from the Art Show

Posted on November 4, 2021 by Mama Cormier

….from the Toronto Art Fair held last weekend at the Congress Centre

Loved seeing the art show come back. It was considerably smaller than the last one we went to in 2019 but there were some great pieces. The first trio sold on the first day all to the same buyer, at $6200. a piece. Well above our pay grade.

Tuesday Textures on Wednesday

Posted on October 27, 2021 by Mama Cormier

….yesterday’s rain washed out all plans to get out and photograph textures

Today the sun came out and even though the ground was still pretty soggy and muddy in places I was very motivated to go for a walk with my telephoto lens and my iPhone.
