Firstly, good wishes to all my Canadian contacts; hope you enjoy Canada Day. I remember my visits to Canada very well. In the times we live in Canada is a beacon of light and decency .
This was taken early on our first morning in Stockholm. We got there very late the previous evening, so no opportunity to see anything . We were staying just across a canal from Stockholms Stadshuset (Town Hall ), so we saw it frequently. It’s impressive from the outside, particularly its tower, but the interior is extraordinary. It stands on the eastern tip of Kungsholmen Island, next to Riddarfjärden's northern shore and facing the islands of Riddarholmen and Södermalm. It houses offices and conference rooms as well as ceremonial halls. It is the venue of the Nobel Prize banquet and is one of Stockholm's major tourist attractions. It is not an old building but was built in 1911. Ragnar Östberg was the architect.
This photo, like many others I took, includes water and a bridge, which is not surprising. The city stretches across fourteen islands where Lake Mälaren flows into the Baltic Sea. The islands are connected by 58 separate bridges and metro tunnels.

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.

Do you remember when we fell in love
We were young and innocent then
Do you remember how it all began
It just seemed like heaven
So why did it end?
Do you remember back in the fall
We'd be together all day long
Do you remember us holding hands
In each other's eyes we'd stare
Do you remember how we used to talk
You know we'd stay on the phone at night 'til dawn
Do you remember all the things we said
Like I love you so I'll never let you go
"When I pontificate, it sounds so, you know, Oh, well, she's preaching. I'm not preaching, but I think maybe I learned it from my animal friends. Kindness and consideration of somebody besides yourself. I think that keeps you feeling young. I really do." - Betty White
In honor of what would be Betty's 100th birthday and her love of animals I am donating to two of my favorite animal rescue organizations: Motley Zoo & PAWS . I encourage everyone who enjoyed this amazing entertainer to do the same in their area!

Today being the Day of the dead, I am remembering the woman who gave me this camassia. Her name was Maria..she had lived a hard life but was the sweetest and most generous lady I have met here...this was her gift to me for my garden...sadly she died the following year, but when I see this bloom, I fondly remember her heart and kindness.

You found the light in me that I couldn't find
So when I'm all choked up
But I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye
Baby, it hurts
If you are at the Thanksgiving dinner table today, don't bring up politics or religion. You might end up having to leave the table quickly, with your food in your mouth, LOL.
I hope all of you here in the USA have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Fortunately, I am going to a close neighbor's house for a ham dinner and I am taking a homemade lemon meringue pie. They only live a very short distance from me which is great because my dogs are all getting so elderly I don't like leaving them for any long periods now.
Anyway, have a wonderful day everyone!

How do I make you stay
When it's easier to let you go, oh
Nobody knows what we know about it
No one needs to know
Call me when you made up your mind, but you won't
Caught up in the way that you played my heart
Only love could ever hit this hard
Oh don't be scared about it
Don't forget it was real
Do you remember the way it made you feel
Do you remember the things it let you feel?
Rarely seen in these heavily farmed areas, but recalled from childhood hedgerows and meadows. Now they are mainly seen as the flowers of remembrance as Armistice Day approaches. Beautiful and delicate - brightly they shine!

I got nostalgic and looked back of some of my work,
This Train depot has some European flair with those hand formed clay roof tiles,
Few years back used to make 3 of them one for each store and one for our home,
Shooting in dark with a point & shoot camera is not my favorite situation.
