Flower of the Day: Lilac with bug
The softness of lilac seems out of place amongst the rusts and yellows of autumn, and yet this patch of flowers decided to make a statement. While my camera lens appreciates the beauty of flowers, I am ignorant of their names. If you can educate me, I would be grateful. (For Cee’s Flower of the […]

Here in southwest Ontario, we grow corn. By August we’ve also a grown an appetite for the taste of peaches and cream corn, buttered and salted, right off the cob. My mother comes from farming roots, but these days all she grows is older. We are all farmers, in a sense – planting our seeds, […]
Read MoreCee’s Flower of the Day: Sunflower
Cee has invited me to join in even though I don’t know the name of many flowers. I do love to photograph them though, and this sunflower really spoke to me on my walk a couple of days ago. Sadly, as I passed it by this evening, the petals are all gone and the stalk […]

Read MoreBaseline Wrap-Up
Before illness, I loved to play tennis. Although never the fastest player on the court, I appreciated the fact that tennis is also a game of strategy. My strategy was often to aim for the baseline, a shot that almost always caught my opponent off guard. Of course, missed shots were most often out-of-bounds. This […]
Read MorePhoto a Week: From the Back
As the weather turns here, and our aging bodies start to complain, we find ourselves dreaming of warmer climates. Arizona is the state that calls to me. I decided to revisit my pictures from last year for this challenge. Horseback riders follow the river’s edge in search of the wild horses. Coon’s Bluff, where these […]
Read MoreCFFC: Pastels
Softness of coral, paired with misty green creates tranquility, pleasing garden scene. A sleeping dove captured by surprise, reveals tender blue lidding the eyes. The sweetest of pastels, pink light at day’s end – water and sky, pre-slumber, gracefully blend. (Photos from private collection, submitted here for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: pastel colours.)
