When milkweed is dead, it isn’t very attractive. It can actually look very ugly. But then, it opens in the spring and the seeds start to come out. They remind me of large dandelion seeds but are even more feathery. I think they are fascinating. We have a field of milkweed up behind out […]
How do people celebrate Easter? Just as Santa Claus draws away from the real reason for Christmas, we see the same thing happening at Easter with the Easter bunny and Easter eggs.Our church had a Good Friday Brunch yesterday. There were about 80 people there, and we had an uplifting message pointing to our Lord […]
Our neighbour’s cat thinks that she owns us. When we go for a walk, she makes sure she is with us, and will follow us almost anywhere. When we drive into our yard, she runs over to see us. When we open our door, she’s sitting outside waiting and hoping we’ll let her in. And […]
I’m not a city person. I prefer being out in the country, and enjoying God’s creation there. We were in Belleville, Ontario, last week on a business trip, which meant time in a hotel room and then in a seminar all day. There are many beautiful areas in Belleville, but due to time I didn’t […]
I was asked by a friend to do a picture for her for a Skating Programme. She wanted to have a pair of skates in a bubble, and gave me a model pair of skates about 3 inches high. I was able to take a picture of the skates in the homemade light box that […]
Spring is coming! The ice on the lake is turning to water because of the warmer weather. It has caught some of the people who are ice fishing by surprise. We have had about 10 ice huts on our lake during the winter. Now they almost look like they are floating on a mirror or […]
Spring is coming! We were able to go for an enjoyable walk in the bush this past weekend. There’s still a fair amount of snow in the bush, but we were able to walk on a snowmobile trail without too much difficulty. If you stepped off of the track, you could sink to your knees […]
My husband gave me a bouquet of flowers, which is where these flowers came from … a nice bright spot in the middle of winter. I’m glad he likes to surprise me. I thought I would try taking some pictures of them using a DIY lightbox I made a short time ago. I found the directions for […]
We are in the middle of winter here, so … lots of snow. I haven’t been outside too much to take pictures, but last Saturday we had the chance to go for a walk on the lake, and to visit one of the rivers in our area.Snow isn’t easy to photograph. The snow can end […]
Wow! I finally managed to get a photograph of a water drop colliding with another. It isn’t as fancy as some, but I’m making progress. I’ll keep trying, and see what happens. This is the only one I managed to get. I know that if I purchased one of the kits for doing this, that […]
