Unique Architecture

December 4, 2023.Reading time less than 1 minute.

The old Opera House, made of stone, like so many of the buildings in our town, stands out on the skyline. These salt and pepper buildings (as I call them) are unique on the Mississauga skyline. For Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: unique

Which Way, Animals?

November 19, 2023.Reading time less than 1 minute.

“Uhm, what happened to the path?” asks the deer. “Best to stick to the fence line, I’ve discovered,” responds the cow. (For Cee’s Which Way Challenge: with animals) Another note: Speaking of directions, I’ve made a conscious decision to stay out of the divisive discourse – too mucky and not at all healing for the […]

Nonchalant on the edge

October 6, 2023.Reading time less than 1 minute.

It’s so easy to spot in others – those that constantly complain about everything – but, do we catch it in ourselves? These days I admit to feeling overwhelmed. Everywhere I look there are things to pack, and dust balls waiting to be scooped up. I lie awake thinking about it, instead of getting much […]

Monday Mood: unmotivated
