Today I am self-promoting. (No, that doesn’t mean the above photo is a Selfie!) I’ve started a new venture that seems to be right up my alley — designing greeting…
I could say that having Fern in my life was, in many ways, akin to having a wonderfully long, superbly-written novel resting close by. The kind of novel that draws…
It was November 28, 2011. I was on my way to the palliative care unit in the Sarnia hospital to see my younger brother. Yes, he was dying, and I…
This magical miniature world is only visible to those who stop and crouch down, and allow themselves to be drawn in. Short-sighted voyeur that I am, I have to take…
Less than three weeks have gone by and this same general view has a very different feel from that of October 18th. This may help to explain why I needed…
I feel free and alive and optimistic in this forest, just steps from my backyard. It’s natural and rocky, and wonderful for any and all moods. I’m always amazed at…
This weather is fabulous for a walk in the woods with my camera and my dog. She explores with her nose and ears, while I use my eyes — up…
I shall indeed wear purple! I’m assuming you know Warning, the poem by Jenny Joseph? No? You don’t know it? And you’re how old? Well, if you’re 50 or more, I…

Look Way Up Yes, way up, because that’s the only way you will be able to see this angel looking down on you from Saints-Anges Gardiens Church in Lachine. “Attributed…
May brings one of my favourite flowers — the oriental poppy with the delicate tissue-paper petals! As I watch her dancing in the spring breezes, I can’t help but marvel…
While I’m framing PSNM for Audities’ Photos readers, I may as well add another of my favourite views. This was taken during the celebration of her 100th anniversary in September…
Yes, I am back to work for a while. I’m also back to my old routine of getting out of bed between 5 and 5:30, and out of the house…
Thinking of one of my favourite cities and remembering my many visits to Times Square. This photo was taken during a school trip with my secondary 5 students. Wow! More…
