Wall mural

This is a mural, which is painted on a wall in our main shopping area. I think it is very well done.

Peeling paint

This reminds me of the dried up mud puddles I used to be fascinated with as a kid. I had to refrain from starting to pull the pain off this garage wall and take a picture instead.

Silver heart

I had some fun tweeking the colours on my photo program with this one. I spied this little silver heart nestled in the crook of this tree. I took a photo of it a year ago, and then snapped another a couple of days ago. It has been there for over a year in the exact same place. I always wonder why it's there. Is this a special place for a couple?

Favorite Tree

This is one of my favorite trees in our neighborhood. It's rather difficult to get a good shot of it from the sidewalk as it is so massive and I was a bit reluctant to stand in the middle of the street. I love the base of the tree, and the different levels of the branches. There is a nice little spot right there, where I can imagine myself sitting with a friend and watching the day go by. Funny though, I have never seen any kids sitting there. It would be the perfect spot if you ask me.

Lamp

This is the lamp outside of Neil's building. I have always thought it was a beautiful fixture and look at it every time I walk by.

Shoes on a wire?

When Donna and I were out for a walk, she happened to look up as we passed a power line, and there was a pair of runners. I of course found a photo op.

Toad Lives!

I like graffiti and every now and again I come across something that makes me laugh. I am happy to know that toad does indeed live. I was beginning to wonder what happened to him.

February 21 - Fake Dog

This is the kind of dog I need! No walking, feeding or vet bills. It just sits there all pretty like on it's nice little cushion in it's fashionable leopard-skin print coat!

Rose

I have GOT to get out and take some new photos. Taking pictures inside is a little tiresome, however this is a BEAUTIFUL rose and still smells wonderful.

Driftwood Pig

I couldn't resist this photo as it really looks like the head of a pig to me. I love the neat driftwood you find at the beach.

Driftwood Character

I happened upon this piece of art at the beach that someone had propped up against a piece of driftwood. I think it has real character. I especially love the pinecone ears.

Brenna

I actually took this photo a little while ago, but never got around to posting it. This is the lovely Brenna.

Bouquet

I snapped this outside a local flourist shop. There were a bunch of beautiful bouquets in baskets out the sidewalk. I love the tulips in particular.

February 11 Dreams

Dreams

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow

Langston Hughes

February 10 Bird Bath

Hopefully soon, this will be full of happy little birds. We have had a few warm moments the last week.

February 9 - First signs of spring

White coral bells
Upon a slender stalk
Lillies of the valley
Deck the garden walk

Oh don't you wish
That you could hear them ring
That will happen only
When the fairies sing.

41st and Yew

Our street at night just as the fog was rolling in. Donna and I just came out of Starbucks and I snapped a photo into the lights.

My boy

This photo just makes me smile. Neil is relaxed and having a good time chatting with Donna's friends.

Pinecone Trio

There really isn't much I can say about this photo. I just snapped it on my way home. I glanced up at one of my favorite trees, and saw this perfect little trio on pine cones.

Retaining wall

This retaining wall is at the front of our building. The rocks are weathered, mildewy and there are all sorts of interesting berries, leaves etc., buried in the cracks.

Nestled In.

I received 50 of these little painted ladybug rocks when I turned 50 from my "craftybitches" group. I have them sitting in my plants on my deck nestled in the grass and dirt. They cheer me up everytime I look at them.
