Day 60, Wednesday

I've been out of the house most of the day, with no opportunity to take any photos.  Luckily, I knew ahead of time, and I bought myself a pretty bunch of yellow mums.  These were a quick shoot, but I may take another shot at it later in the week.  Maybe some macros?

Day 59, Tuesday

I love finding a new spot to walk and shoot!  I was up near the lake on an errand today, so I drove up a couple of blocks, and voila!  A paved walkway by the lake, overlooking the marina and a view of Toronto dimly seen across Lake Ontario.  The wind was really cold and I wasn't prepared for the chill so I didn't stay long, but I'll definitely be back!

Day 58, Monday

I have a Peninsula Field Naturalists meeting tonight, so I baked some cookies.  Now there's a subject I can really sink my teeth into!  Sorry for the bad pun.

WEEK 9, Day 57, Sunday

I was lucky to have a day nice enough to enjoy my walk today, so I headed over to Merritt Trail Knifeworks.  It was sunny at time, and has been mild enough I was hoping for some interesting birds.  I saw another mockingbird!  That's the third one in a couple of weeks!  And a couple of others too, but no big influx of migrators yet, just a few robins.  I did get some shots of a tree I've always liked, so it was a great day!

Day 56, Saturday

My favourite kind of vacation is a driving holiday.  I am very fortunate to live in such a huge country as Canada, and there are many beautiful and unique sights to see in each province.  I have visited almost every province in my life, but having been a resident of Ontario for twenty-five years, I would love to see more of it!  

Day 55, Friday

I've always loved the texture of peanut shells.

Day 54, Thursday

I've been learning so much from my 365 project, but it comes at a cost.  Some days it can take up to four hours to shoot, process and post my day's shoot.  And sometimes I just am so tired it's hard to get up and do anything.  Those are the days I have to really dig deep to get a shot.  I had one of those days today.  Luckily, I have my "tickle trunk", which I have stocked with dollar shop items and other miscellany, for just such a day.  (Those of you who are Canadians and of a certain age will know what a tickle trunk is!)

Day 53, Wednesday

It was quite a blustery day today but I lucked in to a 45-minute window when it was neither snowing nor raining.  I headed over to the quarry, because it's a great place to walk.  The ice was quite a bit less, but whether that was because it was slightly warmer over the last day or two, or because the wind had broken it up, I couldn't really tell.  The scudding clouds gave me a great backdrop, and made the sun play peek-a-boo, giving me some good light, too.
