Day 356 - Let me shade you for awhile...

I really like this shot.  It's like the tree is leaning over the bench saying, let me shade you for awhile...

Day 355 - Lines

My camera seems to be cooperating again!  Yay! So, this is from today...

I'm still trying to figure out what I feel about this shot.  I was trying to capture the train tracks through the fence. A lot of different lines, with the leaves framing them... the jury is still out...

Day 337 - Biking season

Biking season is back. Saw this bike on my travels yesterday, and I had to take a picture.  I haven't owned a bike in a very long time, so I don't know if this how all bikes look now... I just liked the "old-style" look.

Day 336 - Gears and lines

You know when you stop to take a look at something from a perspective you see something different.  I saw the gears and thought it would look neat. Can you tell what it is?

Day 335 - More colour

It's been raining for a couple of days, and this is the result! The ground was too wet for me to lie down and take the picture from the vantage point I thought would look better.

Day 330 - Remnants of fall

Took a break just before sunset yesterday, and saw the rust stain on the picnic table, and the leaf, and I like the colours, and the lines...

Day 317 - Mixing old and new

I have been on this corner a number of times and have never noticed how there is a combination of some old architecture with new/modern architecture.  I thought it looked really interesting. I took this quick photo as I was rushing off somewhere, and now I want to head back and take some more photos.

Day 313 - Needle pulling thread...

Was fixing a decorative pillow and I really liked the feel of the material and the lines on the fabric.  I thought it would make a good photo.  The lighting in the room was bad, so I settled for a close-up.

Day 304 - Synapses branches

When I first got to the university for a meeting, I noticed the branches in the sky.  There is something about the branches all intertwined and messy, that grabbed my attention. As I looked for the best way to photograph them, they sort of reminded me of synapses in our brains. I think its neat that we can see the order within ourselves reflected in the world.

Day 302 - Path

Another photo from Knox College... I can't wait for the trees to be in full bloom.

Day 293 - Toronto is thawing out

I haven't been out running in a long time, and today, was the first time in a LONNNG time I made it out to the trail for a run... jog... no, more like a brisk walk.  It felt so good.  It was chilly, but the sun was warm, and the skies were amazing!

As much as I LOVE the winter, I really like this time of year, when you can see the world waking from its winter slumber. Although I was by myself, I was accompanied by a deer looking for food, and a whole host of birds!  There really is a beauty in each season.  Can't wait to see the trees blooming and the tree canopy filling in.

Day 287 - Comfort

I have lived here, or near here almost all of my life.  As I was staring out this window, I was amazed to see how much this place has changed over the years. Despite the changes, it still feels familiar and comfortable.

Day 284 - Building at night

I know there are a lot of people who don't like the night, for whatever reason, but I do.  It's a little hard to verbalize why it is I love the night, but I think it has to do with perspective. Not only does the world look different at night, but the quiet offers moments for reflection, if even just those few minutes as you drift off into a world of slumber.

When I saw this building lit up, I had to take a quick snapshot.  I hadn't really noticed it when I arrived at my destination, but seeing it lit up like this, it was like a piece of art.  I wish I could have really looked at it and taken some more photos, I just didn't have the time.

Day 262 - Family

Been thinking a lot about family recently, and wanted to take a picture of what I've been thinking. I was staring at my laptop trying to figure out a shot, and I noticed the W & E keys together, and that summed it up perfectly.  A family is about the we and not me... about what you are together, and being there for one another.... and there the keys were together on the keyboard.

Day 256 - Feeling unfocused

Was out for some meetings today, so I thought I would try taking a new photo.  This was the best I could do, being as cold as I was!  I know the photo is not in focus, but it really does reflect the way I feel right now.

Day 254 - Unusual building

Mostly when I pass this building, I am driving, but not on this day. I have no idea what the building is, but I always thought it was neat.  It is hard to take a picture of it, unobstructed.

Day 243 - ... and the road goes on

This was also from my walk through the cemetery.  It was so big, with many plots, that we ended up getting lost trying to get back to our car.  Every so often we would look back to see from whence we came, and the roads looked like they were unending.  I loved how this particular road curved.

Day 235 - Peeking through the crystal curtain

Working on photos from my friend's brother's wedding, and I really liked this one.  I took a lot of atypical pov photos that day.  I had to try this one a couple times before I was happy with it.  First, there were too many of the crystals in the shot, and then the focus was not to my liking, etc.  I would have loved this one more if the bride was visible, and looking over her shoulder towards me... that would have been the shot!

Day 232 - As the sun sets

So, I wanted to post this photo from December, because it was striking to me how much the sun in this shot, which is at sunset, to the colours in yesterday's post.  I really am drawn to these colours and these silhouettes.

Day 220 - Happiness of being with those you love

Taken at a friend's brother's wedding.  I love these girls!  They have been the best of friends for ages, and whenever they are together, you can feel there is something special about their friendship.  I was mourning the fact that I would soon have to return my brother's camera to him, and so they humoured me with taking photos... or allowing me to capture some images at the wedding.

Doesn't this just scream happiness to you?
