One summer, long time ago, I grew this sunflower. By grew, I mean I planted the seeds, watered and weeded, but mostly just watched as the flower grew and grew. It grew taller than the eavestrough of the house I was living at the time. I did not measure it, but it was huge compared…

July 2014 Waking Up I promise I did not wake up this eagle owl, but I was happy for the moment when he opened one eye to check out what the ruckus was about.

  It is no secret, I love to wander, especially in the woods. It is even better when I can wander with someone else. Over Easter weekend, I headed out with the kids to Springwater Conservation area to enjoy the warm sunny weather. Being in the woods, even if I only have my phone camera…

Day 5 “Once in a while you have to take a break and visit yourself.” Today is the last day of the Black & White challenge. This last photograph I have decided to share is one I took while walking on Rissers beach in Nova Scotia in 2008. It was the most unique snail trail…

Day 4 “The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.” This photo is a few years old. My youngest has grown up now and by this time next fall will be in the midst of her first year of university. I love being a mom. My two children have taught me so much…
