The Glass Bell

The art and creativity of some folk is just astounding, at least to me.

The Purple Blue Flower

purple beauty

I love flowers - I didn't use to even notice them. But now their beauty reminds me of not only 'here' but 'there' - of a blorious Creation present and the fullness of one yet coming.

Desk

To sit and rest, think or write; to muse and get one’s thoughts out on paper – or perhaps a photo.

Places of refuge, escape, new sight-lines and perspectives. We all need to get away sometimes.

We take for granted that these old barns, all over Ontario, will be around for ever. They won’t be.

This reminder of another day can be found just east of Rockwood, Ontario.

The Blue Ball

Have you seen the glass bell? Well, this is the glass ball - and it too is gorgeous.

This street in Carlton Place, Ontario, a wonderful old town in the Ottawa Valley, takes one back to earlier times. A few streets over, and we are into today, and even tomorrow.

Barn: Lanark County, Ontario

old barns

This photo was taken in the Ottawa Valley - old log barns in Lanark County, with 'newer' yet. The wonder is they've survived so long, still used for intending purpose.

Gerber Daisy

Gerber daisies were favorites of my mother-in-law. She was a milliner and before she 'passed through' she was thrilled as together we created a table display, with hats and daisies.
