The pegs are many years old. I used Picasa to crop the photo square. And Paint.NET plus the Color Balance plugin by BoltBait to change the colours a little--from bright and fresh to warm and inviting.
If you look carefully at this maple there is a hole where one of the squirrel's lives. Apparently the furry resident has decided to clean out the nest and has left strange miscellaneous piles on our lawn.
(Mar. 2009) Use your old-school red-cyan 3D glasses to view. This is the last of the Spring Cleaning 2009 series. Yeah, parts are a bit washed out, but I like the layers and confusion of reflections.
Spring Cleaning 2009 Series: Since I haven't been posting very much since I got my new computer and my photos got disorganized, I did a spring cleaning and organized stuff and found some half-decent shots that I had not posted.
Who knew we were so gross?! We don't wear shoes in the flat and I think we keep the place pretty clean - but we still managed to get this grimness out of our carpets. They are lovely now though!
Busy day tidying, moving stuff and cleaning the living room, dining room and hall. I popped up into the village just before lunchtime to drop off a parcel for Tim, pick one up from the delivery office, drop off a bag of clothes at the charity shop, and to grab a couple of sandwiches and a vegan sausage roll from Greggs. I can recommend the latter!
a kind of yucky shot of the tapes in the cans - the light is awful today!
I love my bias tape. it's a magical substance.
My goal was to get through my entire closet. I set the rule that everything had to be tried on unless it had been worn in the last six months. No more skipping over things or stuffing them in the back, saying "Oh, that probably fits. I'm sure I'll wear it again." That strategy meant that I had clothes dating back to my first marriage... a long, long time ago.
I got rid of my caregiver wardrobe (machine-washable jumpers with pockets, to hold prescriptions) and most of my consultant wardrobe. It was hard to part with the consultant clothes -- they were expensive and beautiful. But assuming I ever pick up my Coach briefcase again, I can't go into a meeting looking like this. I had one jacket that almost reached my knees. Why did we dress that way... why??
Now that I think of it, I got rid of almost everything on this list. It went to my favorite thrift store where some teenager will squeal with delight over the 80s treasures she'll find. Yes, I still had a few shoulder-pad classics.
I didn't make it through the whole closet. By the time I reached evening wear, I was exhausted. I'll save that for another day.
While on the topic of keeping oneself up to date, kudos to Pete for telling me about Young@Heart. He sent me a link to their covers of "I Wanna Be Sedated" and "Staying Alive." (Don't miss the female solo -- awesome, funny, heartwarming and heartbreaking.)
I love their version of "Schizophrenia" too. Rock on!
(Aug. 2008) "The Passing Song" sculpture by Catherine Widgery, done as a planet using a collage of images (I can't remember how many).

I've taken other photos of this sculpture.
At the end of the day, there were still heaps of cool items that we were able to donate to Goodwill. Success!

(Mar. 2009) On a relatively cold (about -10°C) but magical day walking in the Mount Royal Cemetery. Here is some froth created by bubbles running under the ice and coming through cracks.

I was amazed at how easy it was to turn a mediocre, spur-of-the-moment shot into a bright and colourful photo. I simply boosted the light in Google Picasa, adjusted highlights, cropped, and fine tuned saturation. All in a minute!
This is the pile of garbage we started to stack after we decided to clean the apartment up, and we weren't even done yet.
