had some fun with shadow pictures… it reminded me of the great photography class I took with a colleague many years ago… we had so much fun…

the vase looks pretty cool in these photos…

I’ve had fun checking out the birds on my Audubon calendar each day…

it has been interesting to see birds I don’t know and I also enjoy thinking about when I’ve seen those I already know…

January first was new calendar day…

for many years we have had Chihuly calendars… either my daughter or I would get two and give one to the other person;-)…

one year I even made one filled with photos from our trip to see his installation in Atlanta…

this year I changed it up…

I found an Audubon calendar online that shows a different bird each day… ordered two and sent one off with the other Christmas presents…

took down the old one and put up the new one…

I think I will learn a bit and maybe it will even help me with bird identification in the garden…

Christmas came on Monday…

my BS group gathered for lunch, a visit, and gift exchange…

we had a great time;-)…

everyone chose what they wanted for lunch and a few of the group picked up the order… we gathered around the dining room table and visited as we enjoyed our meal…

back in the living room we had cookies and coffee, and then shared our goodies;-)…

I am always amazed at the wonderful items that we each find or make for one other… none of us really need anything so it is fun to produce little things to share…

and usually there are donations to favourite charities… mine, this year was to Made with Love, which is helping feed the hungry here in the city…

we usually end with a group photo… technology tried to beat me, but in the end we got a few great pictures;-)…

🤗…

really impressed with the photos this iPhone takes…

yesterday it snowed for most of the day and I took these photos…

this one was out the front of the house at 6:35 pm… sadly, it was dark out there…

and this one was out the back a few minutes later…

great night shots…

they may have given me the stink eye…

on Monday morning we went to the Park Café for breakfast with my BS buddies and then took a stroll around the English and Leo Mol Gardens…

my son-in-law and I walked over and met the rest of the group inside the restaurant… it was wonderful to finally get there, as it had been a long time… breakfast was tasty and my favourite server mentioned how she had missed seeing me😊…

it was the first time I’ve been back in the Gardens for at least a few years and they were full of colour and blooms…

what a lovely way to usher in the week…

this picture came up on my Facebook memories a few days ago…

it was a reminder of the frightening ride we had on the chairlift at Mount Washington eleven years ago…

we sat at the bottom of the chairlift for a long time… both of us had a fear of heights… but we decided to do it…

we got on the lift and started up, but the person who helped us didn’t put the bar down…

I felt so scared that I may have bent the side and back bars on the chair, lol… when we came down they were careful to make sure all the safety features were in place…

we were proud of one another;-)…

this photo came up too…

it was from a few years ago when my kids tried to get me up on a wakeboard…

we tried for what felt like hours to do it… one was in the water with me and one was driving the boat carefully… it just never happened…

but, once again, I was pleased that I had taken the chance and tried new things, lol…

my beloved would have laughed and laughed, although he didn’t love being on the water…

something has been getting into the pond…

I hadn’t seen anything on the camera until a few nights ago, when the camera caught this…

the night view makes it a bit hard to recognize, but the rings on the tail were the confirmation that it is a raccoon… it didn’t appear that any fish had been caught…

I think the fish are being careful to stay hidden under the bridge…

on Sunday night they came by again and the camera caught them right in the pond…

I spotted one of the fish sort of wedged under a rock, so I moved the rock and the fish swam away… it looks a bit scraped up, so I hope it will be okay…

I put two chairs across the spot where I think they are going into the water and then sprinkled Epsom salts around the rest of the pond…

a few days ago, I spotted five flickers in the field… like the robins, they never got close enough so I could get them all in one picture…

then I went searching for what a group of them is called, and found this:

it is always a treat to see them in the Spring and Fall…

while they are searching the grass for their goodies they move very quickly so it can be difficult to get a good photo… this one was photobombed, lol…
