Blue sky, tall green trees… Running around with my dog in the meadow.
Life is a blurr.
Grab it by the balls
and enjoy while you can.
Bright Sun! – Photo Wednesday
First day of real sun in a week. Time to get out of the house!
Went for a walk and little treasures are coming up right in the front lawn.
Artefact – Photo Wednesday
I dug into my pictures and came up with this: beach flotsam of an industrial sort. This is a close up of a massive log, which had been in use, perhaps for log booms. This metal insert has a 6 inch diameter. It is large. And all bent back by incredible forces.
Sword Fern – Photo Wednesday
End of the winter on the Southern Gulf Islands of BC…
Here is a shot of the Western Sword Fern (Polystichum munitum), all dried up and curled up, in winter mode. New fronds are issuing form the ground. According to traditional teachings, in the spring, when no other food source was available, its roots were a food item for various First nations tribes of the West Coast of North America. Roasted and peeled, the roots were eaten… like potatoes, I guess.
I like its elegant lines.
Downtown Contrast – Photo Wednesday
I took that picture in downtown Toronto. When I looked out the window – from a fairly high floor – the contrast between building styles seemed too juicy to ignore.
