Day 352 - Another Wedding...

At a wedding this weekend, and was trying to capture that perfect shot, and my camera was being particularly insubordinate. I was trying to capture the rose centrepiece on the next table through the branches of the centrepiece on our table.  As I was trying, very unsuccessfully, to get this shot, I noticed the door to the kitchen and the ugly EXIT sign would wreck the shot if I could ever get it. This was the best I could do... time for a new camera... yes.

Day 351 - Director's Chairs

Part of the fun of hosting a conversation is that you get to do things that are out of the ordinary.  During our conversation, we hung out on these director's chairs. Fun to pretend that you are part of the entertainment industry!

Day 350 - From the stage

I posted this photo straight to Facebook yesterday evening, and wanted it to be the shot for the day.  At the dinner I attended I hosted a conversation with Dawud Wharnsby. We had a conversation and he sang a few of his songs.  I love hearing the stories of people lives, and Dawud has had some really interesting experiences which made for a really inspiring evening.

Yes, I've posted a few pictures of Dawud, a dear and wonderful friend and it was an honour to share the stage with him.

This was from where I was sitting on stage.

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 327 - Strawberry spinach salad

Lacking food shots recently, so this was lunch today... it was so yummy I had to share!

Day 307 - Blood Moon

It was raining the night of the blood moon and lunar eclipse the other night, so, I didn't get any pictures.  I was out for a bit and noticed the moon.  It still has a red tinge to it.  I know this picture is grainy, but it's the best I could do with my point and shoot.

Never tire of looking at the moon. It always makes me feel at peace.

Day 292 - The end of an "era"

A homage to a great Canadian show. After 10 years, the George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight show is ending soon.  So, I went to go see a taping... Ok, I really wanted to see Alex Bilodeau (so inspiring, love his story) and dragged a friend along!  We weren't allowed to take photos during the show (cough... cough...ahem...)... So, I took this shot of the infamous red chairs at what is likely to be the last time I see them.

Wish I had centred the photo better, but everyone wanted a shot of these chairs.... it's a shot to try again, that won't happen!

Day 247 - Roses!

Say what you will about Valentine's Day, I LOVE the fact that there are beautiful flowers everywhere!  And, not to speak of how amazing the grocery stores smell! I have to admit, I have an issue with the floral industry, so, I would encourage you to buy potted plants!

Day 196 - JOY!

Ever find there are a lot of different and interesting décor items out around Christmas?  This was at the local grocery store.  It sums up one of the best part of the this festive season... joy in everyone's eyes!

I have to admit to take this shot, I did have to move some (ugly price) signs out of the way. I promise I put them all back.

Day 166 - Anthurium

Random Anthurium I saw at the grocery store.  Don't you think that it looks plastic?  I assure you, it is real.

Day 165 - 'Tis the season

Was at the mall in this weekend, and this is what I saw... It's not early for the holiday season, but I had forgotten how elaborate the set up can be.  I went another mall, and saw that they had Santa there too.  I personally don't celebrate Christmas, but I do love Christmas because of the ubiquitous "Christmas spirit"!
