once more with feeling

Best part of the whole weekend

One more ocean swim.

It might be the last one of the season so it is fitting that it is on Thanksgiving.

Thanks Ocean, you've been amazing, as always.

summer lovin'

Life has handed me a glorious opportunity this year.
I have been able to take the summer off.

There were a couple of days here and there to which I had committed but for the most part, me and the Summer were gonna make out in the tall grass. We were gonna frolic in the sand, exchange salty kisses in the ocean.

Winter was like a bad long-term relationship and once we finally broke up, I flirted with Spring, but really, Spring is just a fling... but Summer.. oh we had something special.
We had plans.

It couldn't have been simpler . There were only 2 things on the list:

1. Swim

2. Write


I swam

1 out of 2 ain't bad.


Sorry, Unfinished Novel, perhaps you and I will snuggle when it gets a bit cooler.  But Summer and I still have a lot of hot dates.

meanwhile, back in canada...

My day started with a text... 

beauty beyond the blizzard

February 19 gave us a bit more snow. It's not hard to tell that everyone is done with winter.

But since it is still here and steadfast, I will continue (try!) to find the beauty in it. This wasn't hard when I saw the little church-turned-museum in Africville shining through the snow

either way it's six more weeks to spring

February 2 is Imbolc, the Pagan festival that celebrates the coming of Spring. Fires are lit to symbolize the warming of the Earth. That appeals to me, since an icy blizzard is banging on these old windows. So my shot of the day is a tribute to Imbolc. And Marley photobombing the shot reminded me that it is also Groundhog Day.

febuary blew in

February 1 had winds so strong they could blow a wave right off the ocean

I don't care if it hurts to stand here

when all else fails, accessorize

January 14 and the recently fallen snow was still hanging around, like winter's way of accessorizing.

just look how it accents this gate necklace..

everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance

raison d'etre

January 7 - I pass this sign almost daily downtown and am reminded that there is a reason I am here... not in the metaphysical sense, but geographically speaking (which could be argued to be the same thing)

just tryin' to be the rainbow in someone's cloud

January 5 was an unusual weather day but for the most part stayed sunny. Even when it rained. Today's shot is of the rainbow that spanned the West End of the city this morning.

As I was walking, it was sunny behind me, raining on me, and there was a rainbow ahead of me..

 

before the dawn before the calm before the storm

January 4 and I was up before 5 am-
before the dawn before the calm before the storm. 

I took this photo because it's one of my favorite parts of the morning, when everything is quiet and no one has to be anywhere yet..

I've chosen it as my shot of the day because there was a snow storm and I didn't leave the house to take any other shots.
