My husband and I love shopping in antiques shops. Lately, I had been looking for an old drawer/basket/suitcase to hold my cards at the next craft fair I am getting ready for. There was no shortage of containers, but they were all too small, too big, too round, or too expensive. Just when I hadContinue reading “Shopping for Antiques”

Fall on the Shore
Even the rocks are turning gold.
Fall, Reflected
Pretty fall colours, reflected in the lake. I love the way the ripples blend the leaves and create a painted effect.

Weekly Photography Challenge: (Extra)ordinary
In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “(Extra)ordinary.” One foggy morning, I find that spiders have been at work through the night. There are webs in every corner: spun on my clothesline, strung across the deck boards, and clinging to leaves of every sort. The only thing to do is get my camera.

From a single bouquet, so many photos can be made. Not only do I have flowers in the house to enjoy for several days, I have a bouquet of photo possibilities.
