Yay….a New Challenge – Week 1

…thanks to Cee for starting a new challenge Hunt for Joy

The theme for the first week is to Get Outside. Seeing how much I like to walk this was a pretty easy one for me.

As you can see it’s been a bit overcast lately and the weekend calls for lots of rain.14D50E60-19E4-4D21-96FC-7F80892C256A

But these two fellows brought me joy on my walk.005FC3F9-B48E-4CFE-817D-54CF02B16977DD5A479A-A6D9-44BB-8855-2EC4C2375085

 

Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge – Moving Water

….thanks to Cee for hosting the Black and White Photo Challenge

I found it quite difficult to change moving water photos from colour to black and white. For some reason the amount of light in some of the photos that looked fantastic in colour were a complete washout in black and white. I tried to make some adjustments but it didn’t always work.

Monday Windows – Exploring the Older Neighbourhood

do you have any windows to share for Monday Windows

Today I wandered into some parts of my neighbourhood that I’ve never explored before. I’ve lived here for over 41 years but there are streets further east towards Mimico that have eluded me. Today the conditions were perfect for walking.

Many of the homes that I saw today are close to a hundred years old and are need of some TLC but the charm and original beauty came through the blistered paint and rusty eaves. Others were in great shape and some were replaced with new and more modern structures.

Some of the newer places were meant to look old but many were very modern with large windows and simple lines.
