Lens-Artist Challenge – On Display
…thanks to Amy for hosting this week’s Lens-Artist Challenge
On the weekend we discovered a new micro-brewery close to home. It’s called Stonehooker which refers to a boat that went out into the lake and dug up shale for the roads in the neighbourhood. It’s very clear when you walk in that the owner had a nautical theme in mind.

I haven’t been anywhere tropical in over 35 years so I wasn’t sure how many palm pictures I’d find in my archive of photos. Turns out that the zoo, botanical gardens and countries like England and Italy are all keepers of this wonderful tree.
I particularly like what you find under the palms at the zoo.

There’s a hot debate going on again about Christmas Trees. Fake or real? Clearly this one is fake and will end up in our landfill sites where it will take eons to decompose. Closer to home the business association has opted for real trees. As soon as the trees are cut new saplings are planted, farmers are making an income from these trees and when we’re done with them they are completely compostable. They also smell great.

A Photo a Week Challenge – Babies
….thanks to Nancy Merrill for hosting A Photo a Week Challenge
I love babies and our family is expecting a new one in January. For this challenge I had to go back into the archives to bring you baby pictures.
Our granddaughter has always loved the camera. In the second shot you can see how she perked right up when she knew that her photo was being taken.
