Land meets Water
I love the water, in all its forms – from puddles with reflections to the weedy banks of streams to fast flowing rivers to fresh water lakes and the oceans beyond. Ailsa’s Travel Theme: Land meets water Continue reading Land meets Water
What Independence means to Cooper
This is Cooper. He’s very obedient. He understands, “sit”, “stay”, and “leave it”. Most importantly he understands, “come”, and he follows all the commands with just hand signals . And this has earned him his independence and freedom to explore his 30 acres of yard, field and wood, to check out all the scents and smells, play with sticks, muck about in puddles, and have friends over, And … Continue reading What Independence means to Cooper

Taking Photos Saves $$
On our last trip I had decided NOT to bring home more ‘stuff’ that needed dusting. I took pictures instead, and as Ailsa said, saved money. Ailsa’s travel theme is: Merchandise Continue reading Taking Photos Saves $$
Visual Quotations 64: Horizon
“The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.” – Christopher McCandless Ailsa’s travel theme is: Horizons Continue reading Visual Quotations 64: Horizon
The Seal of Mordreuc
Mordreuc is a village on the River Rance in Brittany, France and in Mordreuc there is a jetty on the beach and on the jetty a visitor invariably finds … a seal basking in the sun. Apparently she comes daily and has been for several years. She’s even in the guide books. Look at that face! Is she not endearing? Google images … Continue reading The Seal of Mordreuc
City Flavours
Ailsa chose ‘cities’ for this week’s travel theme. I decided to select some images that, for me, impart the atmosphere, or flavour, of particular cities we’ve visited.
The houses along Rue St Denis are very typical of Montreal. And Montreal is a delight at night.
This shot is very typical of the atmosphere and style we encountered in Tallinn’s old town.
Cours Mirabeau shaded by plane trees is an iconic image of Aix-en-Provence Continue reading “City Flavours”

Close-up in the City
Street photography is a new subject of interest for me. What I find most intriguing is the capture of a split second in time, which is so much more apparent on the streets than it is in landscape photography. I love the ‘freeze frame’ aspect of it, capturing people in mid-step, with a smile, or a grimace, looking at the camera or talking to … Continue reading Close-up in the City
Autumn Glow
I am out of season but other than the arrival of my daffodils, my immediate surroundings aren’t offering many photographic ‘must shoots’ right now. It is cold and wet and dreary, unlike these shots taken in the glorious days of fall in and around my own environs. At least I’m in sync with those down under 😉 Ailsa’s Travel Theme is: Glow Continue reading Autumn Glow
