on our way to the car after the Canada Summer Games Opening Ceremonies I took a few pictures of Emptyful…
I see it all the time, but usually in the daylight, so it was lovely to see it as the lights were more visible…
the kids got a kick out of it too…
the colours change quickly…
we often enjoy sitting near it during lunch as the mist is quite refreshing, particularly on hot sunny days…

yesterday had lunch in the Millennium Park next door to the office… a lovely time in the sun enjoying conversation and food with some great individuals… as I was walking back, with my hands full and the sun shining into my face, took this shot of Emptyful…
came out pretty good considering I couldn’t see what I was doing, lol…
my new iPhone 7 makes pictures move in an odd fashion… reminds me of the photographs in the Harry Potter series…
after work, met up with my daughter and oldest grandson and we had supper out before attending his final band concert of the year… on our way back to the car we took this selfie in front of Emptyful as we went by…
wonderful to have opportunities to be outside on such a beautiful day…
and today spent a few minutes enjoying the poppies blooming in the garden before heading to the office…
walked to the Fairmont and back this morning… great treat to be out again while we are enjoying such beautiful days…
looking forward to spending time in the garden planting tomorrow…

the light is fading every day… sure sign that it is Fall, sigh…
last night I turned on the radiant heater in the bathroom… was a lovely treat this morning to walk on warm tiles…
most of the floor is warm, except right in front of the sink, lol… where a person stands to wash and brush their teeth…
got this great shot of Emptyful and the church spire… don’t often look at it from this viewpoint… the warm weather made quite a bit of fog/mist around it…

took a few minutes of my lunch break to take a walk around the block and stop and sit in the Millennium Library Park for a few moments…
this grass just looked so lovely that I had to take a picture…
while I was sitting on one of the cool lounge chairs – which I have looked at and never had the opportunity to test out, until today – I took a picture of the view…
huge grassy area with Emptyful and the church spire in the background…
just a few minutes later a group of young men were playing boules or bocce right in front of me…
what a great way to reenergize on a busy day…

first thing this morning took pictures of the big morning glory… apparently they are never going to open on a day when I am home and can see it when it is fully open, lol…
interesting colour on it… also took this one of the mandevilla… there are lots of blossoms on it…
on a walk at lunch I spotted some kids climbing on Emptyful… they were having a great time as the spray blew over them…
beautiful day… on the way home enjoyed the lovely weather as I walked…
got a shot of the morning glory when I arrived at the house… bit of a hybrid I think…
got a pretty good shot of it as it was starting to close up…
finished off my day with fresh corn on the cob which was delicious…

took a few pictures of the gladiola flowers in the living room as I was waiting for my travel buddy…
they sure aren’t lasting the way they have in previous years… not sure what that is about… but they look beautiful…
on my way back to the office from the post office I had to stop and get a picture of Emptyful as the sun was sparkling on the fall of water… such a lovely sight…
arrived home to my daughter preparing supper and the boys arriving at the house… after dinner I noticed that one of the plants in the pond is starting to bloom…
I think it has grown about a foot since yesterday… looks like the flower is going to be a beauty…
great end to a very full week…

this morning the sky was absolutely beautiful… took many pictures on the way to work… it was mesmerizing…
a bit later in the morning I ran across the street to pick up some milk and cream for our coffee… as I was walking back I was compelled to take a picture of Emptyful… could see some great reflections in the new police building…
ended the day with a shot of another lovely sky as we drove home…
I stopped for a haircut and then walked home in the crisp evening air… made it home just before the light went…
enjoying these wonderful Fall days…

a couple of days ago my iPhone wouldn’t let me take a picture, because it said it was full… at the time I just deleted a few pictures and forgot about it…
earlier today a message flashed across my screen about memory being full…
tonight I spent about an hour copying and then deleting pictures…
I took this one as I was heading toward the car after dropping off our mail…
this sculpture is called Emptyful and has water coming down as well as mist floating through the air… at night the lights on it rotate through three or four colours…
emptyful…
you have to be careful which side you walk through so that you don’t get misted on… always seems to be misting on overcast cool days and it never mists on you on the hot days as you walk past…
the weather has been a bit odd, mainly cloudy and cool, and the blue sky was just starting to emerge as I was leaving work… rain has been threatening for a few days but keeps holding off… tomorrow morning I am going to have to water the plants in the garden… that will probably bring the rain, lol…
