Mossy

2011-01-24T14:27:00.001-05:00

This counts as white. In a halloweeny type of way. A nice January Halloween photo.

Metal

2011-01-13T09:14:00.002-05:00

White metal.

Lookin' Up

2011-01-10T08:52:00.002-05:00

Why are ceiling medallions so expensive? It's not like this was hand carved...pretty sure they just poured some goopy stuff into a mould. Maybe it's expensive goopy stuff.

White Sweater

2011-01-07T08:22:00.000-05:00

Fuzzy.

There's Some White

2011-01-06T08:17:00.002-05:00

See right there? There is some white. Just a little...but I say it counts.

On a side note. Dear church. You need a nicer railing for photos. Just saying.

Tripped on the White Line

2011-01-04T08:54:00.003-05:00

ran from you the other day
tripped on the white line
as i crossed this space
a guard beckoned and
held a red sign; motioned
to stop perpendicular movement
jumped into the heights
above the vehicles
and flew away into the clouds

I had not planned anything to write today. So the above creation is what happens when I just start typing. But the photo's go with the "White" challenge.

White

2010-12-31T09:41:00.002-05:00

This is the start of my photo challenge. First topic is "white". And since alot of things are apparently white, next week will be the photos I took for topic one! And if you didn't notice, it is winter. And we have snow. Which makes alot of things white...so it took some extra time to ignore the snow covered objects. And now that I think of it....it would of been funny to me to just take a photo of a piece of white paper. In the snow.

And since post are no fun without photos, I'll acutally start today.

Part One

2010-12-22T08:44:00.002-05:00

It's almost Christmas. That's an exciting enough statement nothing else needs to be said. Enjoy part one of my indoor herb garden.

Princess Cupcakes!

2010-12-20T12:29:00.003-05:00

Princess Cupcakes!!

That is my way of cursing. Change unhappy and swear words to good things.
It amuses me.
Alot.
I was trying to change the blog layout and ended up losing my header photo. Which makes me sad cause I'm pretty sure it was awesome.

Excuse me while I go search my computer for the file...Sparkle Elephants!!!

Mirror Mirror On The Wall...

2010-12-20T12:12:00.002-05:00

...Who is the fairest one of all? After saying itself because of the swirly awesomeness my mirror said I am. But I think it was just being nice. We have alot of hammers in the house right now.

S is for...

2010-12-17T10:14:00.003-05:00

Stark, silly, sunshine, salsa, shiny, sparkles, sugar, super-duper, seahorse, stars, swim, snow, salute, steam, shark, summer, stainless steel, stripes, shoes. And swedish berries. But that only half counts.

Tick Tock

2010-12-10T08:02:00.002-05:00

time is stagnant

in a world ever changing

to fully live in the present

would be to fully live

not dreaming of futures

or longing for pasts

not wondering what could be

but smiling with what is

~s.e.

its like an awesome shiny pig bank that distracts you while eating all your money. or not. that was my attempt to link the pig to the post. which i now see has my reflection in its snout. photo fail.

Cooking!

2010-02-04T08:31:00.003-05:00

I have learned that you cannot take a photo of boiling water that looks like the water is acutally boiling and not just shaking. Quite enligtening really.

Ant's Eye View

2009-09-04T08:38:00.001-04:00

Happy long weekend!

Wood You?

2009-09-02T08:36:00.002-04:00

Not sure where I found/got this piece, but it is really cool. (I almost said "neat"!) It hides our natural gas meter quite well.

Tasty Carrots

2009-08-26T08:11:00.002-04:00

Carrots, garlic, butter, puff pastry...some awesome looking steam. Other than sticking to the pan a little, this was a tasty side dish!

Spaghetti Sauce

2009-08-25T08:15:00.001-04:00

It started out as individual items on a counter. Now they are one and in jars...eagerly waiting their pasta debut!

Cooked Chard

2009-08-24T08:10:00.001-04:00

So this was the chard after being cooked. Does it look appetizing? I can't tell because I know it wasn't.

Silver

2009-08-21T08:08:00.002-04:00

I find that plastic plant pot plates provide proper protection, but isn't a silver one just way nicer!?

(And how 'bout that alliteration!? Maybe not a gold winning one, but maybe silver?! Oh gosh, I crack me up this morning.)

Swiss Chard

2009-08-20T08:23:00.002-04:00

So, in my defense, this looked alot like rhubarb when it was just a little plant. And now that we have realized it is not the tasty pie filling we thought it to be, I figured I might as well see if it is a tasty non-pie filling food.

Conclusion: It is not tasty. It is not good. It tastes like dirt...but it sure looks pretty.

Lettuce

2009-08-19T08:09:00.000-04:00

Lettuce just seems really photogenic.

Rainy Day

2009-08-18T08:53:00.002-04:00

If it wasn't so hot outside (and moreso in my non air conditioned house), it might be a nice day to light some candles. I swear yesterday my thermostat just said "too hot". Ok, maybe it just said 28.5 degrees...BUT if it had the ability to have words marqueing across it's screen I'm sure it would of said it was a touch warm.

How Much

2009-08-17T15:11:00.001-04:00

How much is that kitty in the window?

Curley Cue

2009-08-06T08:05:00.002-04:00

How cool is a cucumber plant? Reminds me of curled ribbon on Christmas presents. The present that you put that extra little effort into by grabbing the scissors and creativley pulling the blade against the ribbon. Not everyone gets the curly ribbon you know.

Greens Galore

2009-08-04T08:20:00.001-04:00

Baby greens are delicious. I guess I should have staggered the planting times a little more.

Cabbage Patch

2009-07-29T08:03:00.000-04:00

Green, crispy and perfect for coleslaw!

Cukes

2009-07-28T08:50:00.001-04:00

Baby cucumbers. Not so baby anymore-boy they sure do grow up fast.

Little Model

2009-07-27T08:26:00.002-04:00

I think this little baby bird was loving the spotlight.

MMMuffins

2009-07-24T08:17:00.002-04:00

Blueberry muffins with a delicious crumble topping! (So I didn't bake these last night, but I did make some awesome banana bread and some bread rolls...which I now wish I took a photo of because they turned out great!)

Rain Rain Go Away...

2009-07-23T08:23:00.001-04:00

...I'd rather use the hose today. It could atleast be sunny a couple days this week!

So Ugly It's Cute

2009-07-22T08:23:00.001-04:00

A little bird taking a sunbath on our back deck.

Return

2009-07-20T08:53:00.002-04:00

Was a wonderful vacation. Got all the gardens cleaned up; among other things.

New Camera

2009-07-08T08:24:00.002-04:00

I've just went from a 3 megapixel video camera with photo function to a 10 megapixel camera. With a macro feature. Even Super Macro! Now I just have to sit down and read the manual.

Hopefully I can size the rest of my photos from the old camera tonight and get them all posted before my vacation next week!

Too Hot

2009-06-25T08:29:00.002-04:00

Ever notice the room with the computer has got to be thee hottest room in your house? Well that is my story, and I'm sticking too it. (Taken from Excuses 101).

Welcome

2009-06-16T08:04:00.000-04:00

Our new spare bedroom. Uncomplete, but completely relaxing.

Moola

2009-06-12T08:00:00.002-04:00

On one of our journies to the river in our town, we came across some money. I wonder if this is still legal tender. You can clearly see the date of 1857, and with the eagle we assume it is from the USA. Apprently (from a historian we talked to) there was a trading post along the train tracks where we found the money and it had burnt down. Which would explain why it is all melted together. Or perhaps not explain it, but atleast we have a theory.

Keepin It Cool

2009-06-11T07:59:00.001-04:00

Well, it really doesn't keep anything cool anymore; it is just used for storage of tools. It is a real Kelvinator though.

Another Bird

2009-06-10T07:59:00.000-04:00

Flag

2009-06-08T08:02:00.001-04:00

This weekend our group could not recall what the Ontario flag looked liked when the visitors from Holland asked. We are all pretty confidant that the below is the Canadian flag though.

Cheery

2009-06-05T08:20:00.000-04:00

A cheery photo for a wonderfully sunny Friday!

Barrel of Fun

2009-06-03T07:54:00.000-04:00

Or maybe it is just a barrel.

Beautiful Blue

2009-06-01T08:11:00.001-04:00

I recently found a new appreciation for peacocks.

Crystal Ball

2009-05-28T08:05:00.002-04:00

Light shining through crackle glass at night is a really interesting thing.

More Metal Part 2

2009-05-27T08:06:00.001-04:00

My first flower.

More Metal

2009-05-26T08:01:00.001-04:00

One of the flowers that I made; my tulip.

Bzzz

2009-05-25T07:59:00.001-04:00

This is a bee I made for the garden. It now has a flower planted in the pot-but I took the photo before that...

It's Friday!

2009-05-22T07:55:00.002-04:00

Branches

2009-05-21T08:20:00.000-04:00

Tree Buds

2009-05-20T07:59:00.000-04:00

Spring Sprung!

2009-05-19T07:55:00.001-04:00

My gardens are in full bloom now, but this week's photos are from a couple weeks ago, when the world became green again!

A Great Saturday

2009-05-15T08:00:00.001-04:00

Forcast for Saturday:
Lots of reading due to showers ending in the morning then cloudy with 40 percent chance of showers.

Flying Trucks

2009-05-14T07:55:00.004-04:00

Apparently, so I've been told, the following adventure makes me a redneck. YEA-HAW!

Another Find

2009-05-13T07:54:00.002-04:00

With some elbow grease, not so silver finds can sparkle again!

More Finds

2009-05-12T07:54:00.001-04:00

I was so excited when I found this dish; perfect for cranberries at Christmas!!

New Treasures

2009-05-11T08:19:00.003-04:00

A few photos of one of the items we picked up at the thrift store!

My Favourite

2009-05-08T07:58:00.001-04:00

This is my favourite Tulip photo of the week:

Origins

2009-05-07T07:50:00.002-04:00

"Although tulips are associated with Holland, both the flower and its name originated in the Persian empire. The tulip...is a flower indigenous to Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan and other parts of Central Asia. Although, it is unclear who first brought the flower to northwest Europe, it is the Turks who made tulip known in Europe."

Who knew!?

Who Knew

2009-05-06T07:53:00.001-04:00

Who knew that the tulips that excaped from the garden would be so hard to mow over.

Tulip Continue

2009-05-05T07:53:00.001-04:00

Tulips

2009-05-04T07:56:00.001-04:00

It is the week of the tulip; I have declared it!

Randomness

2009-03-24T07:51:00.002-04:00

This photo just reminds me of a dream. Full of such randomness, but seems like it makes some sort of sense. Atleast to me...but I did work twelve hours yesterday, so it could just random.

Spring has Sprung

2009-03-20T07:51:00.003-04:00

Spring has sprung
Winter is no more
Summer is to come
And fall is in store

Time to offload all the photos I still have with snow!

Time in the Snow

2009-03-19T07:54:00.001-04:00

The last day of winter, and it doesn't seem like winter anymore...but I still have some winter photos to share.

It is Spring!

2009-03-17T07:53:00.002-04:00

Have a Seat

2009-03-11T07:51:00.000-04:00

I need one...

Reed Diffuser

2009-03-09T08:12:00.000-04:00

Not only does it freshen the air and look nice...it is photogenic too! A triple threat!

No More Snow

2009-03-05T07:51:00.001-05:00

So we don't really have any more snow (and tomorrow is supposed to be plus 14), so these photos seem nice now. When you aren't cursing it, snow is so pretty.

Birdy's Nest

2009-03-03T07:49:00.000-05:00

Shapely Wood

2009-02-27T07:56:00.001-05:00

Spice it Up

2009-02-26T08:44:00.000-05:00

I guess it isn't really spicey...just salty. Similar to my vehicles at the moment.

Washed Up

2009-02-25T07:54:00.001-05:00

It is interesting to see what is left after the flood waters recede.

Stella Bug

2009-02-23T07:56:00.003-05:00

She just loved striken' poses for the camera!

Weight of the World

2009-02-19T08:14:00.001-05:00

You can't really tell from the photo, but this was a very large tree, hanging over the river. Guess he had a lot on his shoulders this winter...

Tracks in the Snow

2009-02-18T08:16:00.001-05:00

Family Day

2009-02-17T08:29:00.001-05:00

It was a nice holiday to spend curled up on the couch watching movies (after spending time at the dog park of course).

Love is Blind

2009-02-12T08:06:00.001-05:00

It is almost Valentines Day. So my title is almost punny.

Don't Cry Over Spilt Water

2009-02-11T07:59:00.002-05:00

No matter where I put the dog's bowl it seems to be within foot hitting range. But only the water bowl...not the empty food one. Of course. Mr. Murphy, you should have a time out.

Care for a Movie?

2009-02-09T07:56:00.001-05:00

Saturday's

2009-02-06T07:57:00.002-05:00

My typical Saturday...watching TV, cleaning and of course, eating chips!

Snuggle Up

2009-02-05T08:03:00.001-05:00

It is so bloody cold out right now, I just want to snuggle up on a chair, with a blanket and a hot chocolate.

Tree Decorations

2009-02-04T08:00:00.001-05:00

Mother Nature decorated for the holidays; with ornaments that can stay up year round!

Trees

2009-02-02T08:07:00.001-05:00

A Colourful Break

2009-01-30T08:14:00.002-05:00

Snow is nice...but it is just so white! I decided to take a break from our winter walk photos, and do a summery, colourful post.

These colours are just so happy!

Built in the Park

2009-01-29T08:00:00.001-05:00

In case you forgot, it is still winter.

More Snow Photos

2009-01-28T08:37:00.000-05:00

Giraffe

2009-01-27T08:00:00.001-05:00

On our walk, we saw a giraffe. He was camera shy and would only agree to having his neck photographed.

River is Flowin

2009-01-26T08:02:00.000-05:00

Playing in the Snow

2009-01-22T07:58:00.002-05:00

Our dog just loves the snow! He always ends up with snow all over his head...and I'm sure he is smiling!

Bridge Over [Icy] Waters

2009-01-21T07:58:00.001-05:00

Nature's Porcupine

2009-01-20T07:59:00.000-05:00

Too Cold

2009-01-16T08:02:00.000-05:00

That is it. That is all I have to say. It is too cold.

Come On In

2009-01-15T08:30:00.002-05:00

It is way too far below freezing to go outside. How summery and cute is our new door mat?

Elephant Ear Tears

2009-01-14T09:34:00.001-05:00

It appears that our Elephant Ear plant is crying for its' namesake.

Let There Be Light

2009-01-13T08:00:00.000-05:00

I heart my lamps.

Let the Light Shine Through

2009-01-09T07:54:00.001-05:00

For everyone affected by the pointless wars being fought. For the now, then, and the tomorrows.

Sparkles

2009-01-07T08:02:00.000-05:00

Really, wouldn't the world be a better place if everything was just sparkly?

Life Is Like...

2009-01-06T07:59:00.001-05:00

...a box of chocolates. You take a bite, think it is gross and put it back in the box!

Festive Flower

2009-01-05T08:11:00.002-05:00

I cannot believe that my poinsettias are still flowering (yet alone alive!) And how extra festive do they look with gold sparkles?

Gifts

2009-01-02T07:57:00.006-05:00

Wonderful presents from everyone!

(far left and far right ones are new...and sadly the red one didn't make it through the whole year...)

Presents Under the Tree

2008-12-31T07:56:00.004-05:00

So Christmas may be over. The presents all unwrapped and thank-you's handed out. BUT...I still have the season in photos and I don't care if it is over!
