Sunset Near 11th Street

Rainy Day

The view from my office today.

Purple Flower

Begonia Blossom

Lovely looking blossoms. Their lease is too short, so enjoy them while they last.

The Face of Terror

Darby taking refuge on my bed after hearing some fireworks go off nearby. I supposed the caption should read the face of the terrorised, but whatever . . . again, am not feeling terribly inspired.

Seasonal Colours

Not been feeling terribly inspired lately, but when I looked down at the bags beside me I was struck by the colour combo. McDonald's is running an ad campaign that subverts a Christmas song for summer celebration. I must be on to something here, zeitgeisty-wise.

Listening

Darby ever alert to the threat of unknown dangers lurking in 'his' park.

Peabutter

Who knew? It actually tastes pretty good too.

Under Shoes

Spotted these shoes under a truck parked off Preston. Curious.

Martha Washingtons

Despite their enormous popularity and reputation for hardiness, I have found these to be a huge disappointment so far this year. Very slow to bloom.

New Growth

The trees in this neighbourhood continue to grow; and, like this pine, they dwarf all the houses.

Blue

Blue asleep in the morning sun.

Flower Box

One of my more successful attempts to date, filled with impatiens and other bits and pieces.

Acorn

My niece's new favourite 'stuffy', wearing the horse blanket I knitted for her last night.

Patterson Gardens

Emma Lake

Borden

Broken Meter

It was the highlight of my day. Nearly two weeks without a parking ticket.

Truck

I wonder if that's what his wife calls him?

Back Home

Blue's back home after her stint at the vet clinic. She's been taking it easy and catching up on some zzzs. So terribly thin though.

Sunshine State

For my Florida peeps

Blue in ICU

Not a great day. She is doing better though, and we hope to have her home tomorrow.

Storm Clouds

It rained a bit, but we didn't get the brutal storm these clouds seemed to predict.

Frost Warning

It seems hard to believe that summer is only a few weeks away.

Tightly Shut

So cold here: the blooms shut as the sun went down.

Lid Macro

Lid from my klean kanteen with tv in background.

Clock Chocolate

Fell in love with the design at the local coffee shop.

Rear Seat

The dogs en route to the lake.

Children's Festival

Festive May-Pole inspired light standards

Cherry Blossoms

Purple Flowers

Dutch Elms Spadina

I looked up on my way to work.

Blue

Water's Edge

On the lake at La Ronge, near stones from the shield.

La Ronge

The en suite 'fire place'.

Bridal Back Up

It was a busy Saturday at the park today.

Stretch

Storm Sky

The unseasonable weather continues.

Lamb

City Park Two-Storey

No Exit

Blue

555

Snowing here today. Still May. Still Saskatchewan

Signage

Snapped on my way in to do an interview for a summer program promo

Calories

Champagne, yum.

Darling Buds of May

What the f*@! happened to my darling buds of May?

Snow Cover

Snapped at Northgate in PA the day after a mid-May snow storm.

Best Western

Snapped on Queen, waiting on a red.
