Found Treasure

 
When we were in England last fall, Paul visited the Royal Worcester factory outlet store in Worcester. The Royal Worcester factory has sadly closed down, a victim of the economic slump I believe. There among shelves of left over odds and ends he found this saucerless cup. It was made in 1941 and waited for 68 years for someone who had eyes to see its beauty. It sits on a cherrywood writing box in a room where I sit often. It is loved and admired.

The Field that is No More


This photo is of the field that our property bordered on in the 70's and early 80's but is now a housing estate with massive and luxurious houses and shopping centres. Nothing compares with what was...

The Hunt by Tiffany-Amber--Age 11 yrs 9 months

The day of our church Christmas pot luck and still the snow is holding off. The deep brown of the earth and the gold of the corn stubble a rich feast of colour to cherish against the cold and white of coming winter.

I passed this beautiful house on a sidestreet in Collingwood today and just had to stop and photograph it. Isn't it lovely?

November Sunday


We are living on borrowed time and we know it. Any day the snow will blow in and mean it, but for now, we revel in the last days of green and gold.

Sunset at Sobey's


Our local Sobey's parking lot faces west, and so often, rushing home at the end of a day, I am stopped dead in my tracks by the sheer breathtaking beauty en route to my car. So it was tonight, and as I packed my groceries into my trunk, I remembered my camera hung across my chest. As I paused to take various shots of the sky, another woman shouted across, "Beautiful, isn't it?" and both of us celebrated the sunset together. My beautiful moment for today.

First Snow 2

We had just come home from Geneva Park, where the last golden leaves of Autumn clung to the trees with stubborn but weakening determination. On Thursday afternoon, across the fields, came an army of tiny snow soldiers, gathering strength in their multitudes and hiding the hills as they grew in number.

Robin Debut



Posted by PicasaHatching amidst the hustle and bustle of the garden has been scary for our robin invaders. The three babies that emerged from the original four eggs, have been nervously watched over by their mother, with squawks of alarm whenever we passed by! That's what you get for trying to climb the ladder of success.

A mother robin made herself at home in our garden and gave Paul an airtight reason for no chores involving his ladder!

Our Own Personal Garfield

This is really Dido, who has a habit of dropping in on my mum in England for a visit. I think he visits elsewhere too, which is probably why he is so roly poly.
