big girl pants, camera, full moon, headphones, jiggle, moon, photos, treadmill, widow
this morning, rather than spend fifteen minutes on the treadmill, I had a lovely time taking photos of the moon…
although I used my tripod, next time I will use my headphones to take the photos so that the camera doesn’t jiggle…
still learning what this camera can do;-)…

sunshine and clouds…
Saturday the sun was shining down on the planters in the front yard and there were diamonds glittering… lovely dome of snow, which reminded me of a giant ice cream cone…
a bit later I caught this sundog… not very big but always such fun to spot… as I was driving downtown this morning there was a huge one, but I couldn’t stop to take a photo…
Sunday the clouds were very fluffy as I took this picture…

big girl pants, hooting, morning, mourning dove, owl, photos, widow
as I was leaving the house this morning I could hear hooting…
it wasn’t a mourning dove… it sounded like an owl, and was large…
I couldn’t get a good enough close up to really figure out what it was…
will see if it is there tomorrow;-)…

big girl pants, computer, duplicates, followers, memories, photos, sun dogs, widow
this morning I spent time using the new computer…
the pictures are all in one folder which I have started to go through looking for duplicates… so happy they are all in the same place… I used to have to go searching through a number of drives to find some of them…
while I was sorting out various bookmarks I noticed that I now have 300 followers… this is much more visible viewed on the computer… kind of giggled because the number has been hovering just under for quite some time…
also, I’ve noticed many people or organizations celebrating ten or fifteen thousand followers… makes my 300 seem rather inconsequential…
but it made me happy…
shortly before that I had watched beautiful sun dogs out the back… first ones I’ve seen this season…

big girl pants, camera, family, gently, memories, moments, photos, snowflakes, walk, widow
we haven’t had much snow so far… on Sunday I walked over to meet my family for breakfast…
snow was gently falling and it was beautiful…
stopped along the way and took this shot of snow on a truck which was right by the sidewalk…
then I got my camera out and took some snowflake pictures… enjoyed the chance to spend some time playing with the camera…
reminded me of all the times that my beloved and I would go places so that I could take pictures… I sure do miss him…

big girl pants, Christmas, coffee table, decorations, drawer, family, fun, moments, photos, redesigned, widow
on the weekend I had a bit of fun as I redesigned the drawer in the living room table…
in the summer I usually fill it with sea shells and rocks…
in the fall I’ve used scarves or photographs…
for the holiday season there have been a few versions of Christmas ornaments… one year silver and blue and purple… another year there were red balls too…
this year I used silver, blue and purple and included some framed pictures of family and friends…
kind of enjoy thinking up new ways to fill it…
and it looks lovely… now to figure out the rest of the Christmas decorations…
this year I am hoping to do some serious decluttering of excess decorations… not that I have too many, lol…

bench, big girl pants, camera, empty, English Garden, Fall, flowers, friends, Leo Mol Garden, moments, photos, pond, scaffolding, walk, widow
our walk through the English and Leo Mol Gardens was lovely…
it was cool and overcast but it was nearly empty… hardly anyone else in the entire space…
fabulous to get a bit of exercise and spend time catching up…
it looked like one of the statues was holding up the scaffolding, lol… had to work a bit to get a photo that wasn’t too risqué… looking forward to seeing what changes will be made…
easy to spot our bench, but it looks a bit dull… well, the whole place looks that way…
fun to take pictures with my new camera and see how the plants are preparing for winter…
pleased to finally make it to the Gardens… sorry that it has been so long and I have missed all the Fall beauty…
very happy that we got through the walk without any mist…

almonds, big girl pants, chocolate, chromecast, family, iPhone, photos, relearning, sons-in-law, Technology, widow
this morning an MTS tech came out and installed a booster for the internet signal…
he felt that it solved the problem perfectly, but I am not so sure… still taking a long time for some things to load, sigh…
the best news was that my son-in-law showed me how to chromecast my photos onto my tv… my other son-in-law taught me the first time, lol…
I love learning (and relearning) new technology… wrote the instructions down this time so hopefully I won’t forget them…
spent time checking out other technology while enjoying some chocolate and almonds;-)…

big girl pants, canopy, colour, construction, photos, street, trees, widow
was able to pull over and take this photo this morning as I was going down the next street…
big construction on the street that I usually travel to get to work and I keep forgetting to turn north out of the driveway, lol…
the trees are lovely even as they change colour…
the canopy on this street doesn’t meet up in the middle as much as some of the other streets… still beautiful…
always trying to get a shot of one of these streets without cars, lol…
