Sunday Trees – 260

…..congratulations Becca Givens on posting Sunday Trees for five years

This past month newly planted trees have appeared in the park down the street. It will be interesting to see how long these beautiful little gems will last before some home owners who live across the street from the park decide to remove them. Even though the city probably spent a pretty penny to plant these trees some people think that an unobscured view of the lake is more important than a healthy environment. Apparently in years past trees did mysteriously disappear soon after they were planted.

WPC – Transmogrify

…..this week’s WPC theme is transmogrify which literally means “to change in appearance or form, especially strangely or grotesquely; transform.”

What a perfect theme for Hallowe’en week when young and old change their appearances for a few hours to collect treats and attend parties. On Friday, the parents at our school hosted a Hallowe’en party for the children and all last week the library was transformed into a book store for the annual book fair.

The strangest and probably creepiest transformation had to be achieved by this mask:

Travel Theme: Hills

….thanks to Where’s My Backpack for this week’s travel theme

From the hills that surround Florence to the hillside town of Assisi we were either looking up at the hills or we were on the hill looking down and across at more hills. Italy has an abundance of hills.

Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge – Week 42

….on a recent trip to one of my favourite neighbourhoods in Toronto I came across a winged unicorn on the back of a bicycle

Thanks Cee for hosting the Odd Ball Photo Challenge. If you have some photos that you think might fit into the odd ball category why not give this challenge a try.
