Children playing among fountains in front of the Swiss Parliament in Bern.
The 26 jets of the fountain represent Switzerland's 26 cantons.

Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday
One afternoon I walked to the park with my children. While there, I noticed three young children and the oldest sister (who looked too young for this responsibility) appeared to be in charge of her two younger siblings. As I noticed these children I felt so sad for them and concerned for their safety. I used my camera to take some pictures of nature and the middle of the three siblings was watching me. She began talking to me and was very interested in the picture I had just taken, my camera, telling me about her interest in taking pictures, her instant film camera which she doesn’t have film for right now, that she would like to have a camera like I had. I told her I hoped someday she could have a camera of her own and she said maybe she could when she was older. She asked if she could see the photo I had just taken so I showed her the image of the leaf on my camera screen and she really liked it. She told me an idea she thought would make a good picture—across an open, grassy area, looking into the sunset. I took a quick, simple picture which certainly wasn’t fantastic. I showed her the picture and she said she really liked it (I deeply appreciated her kind words) and I told her that the photo was inspired by her. I felt concerned and sad for this girl, afraid of what could happen to her if she met a dangerous person here at the park. I was so thankful that today she was talking to someone who didn’t intend to harm her, who cared about her and her wellbeing and I was thankful for the connection we made through our interest in photography. I don’t even know what her name was and to me this was a meaningful connection. Due to harmful interpersonal experiences (especially as a child) it’s difficult for me to connect with others and I was thankful that on this day I made a connection with this girl. I would struggle to put into words how these moments were helpful and healing for my own journey and I hope that in some way our time together was perhaps beneficial for this girl as well. While I don’t consider these images anything spectacular, seeing them does remind me of the meaningful connection we shared that day.

____________________________
As a way to cope with circumstances beyond my control, survive and work to keep fighting for life I decided to try to take at least one photo (or more) each day. I call this “a photo (or more) a day.” Practicing this form of therapeutic photography helps me work to focus on the present moment, gives me something familiar and enjoyable to focus on as I use photography skills that have become like second-nature to me and being able to view the images I capture helps me recall what I was thinking, feeling and noticing at the moment when I created the photos. More of the photos from this series can be seen on my Instagram account
I may not always have the energy, time or capacity to share photos from this series—especially with the very challenging circumstances my family and I are experiencing—and will do my best to continue taking a photo (or more) a day even if I’m not able to share.
If you would like to support my work and my family, one way you can do so is by ordering my zines:
Many thanks for your support.

Recycled some of my discarded prints to make some tiny booklets to go with the tiny books.
I realized how much I like making tiny things :)
And speaking of enjoying...my friend Yvonne Eijkenduijn over at The Yvestown Blog made a beautiful blog book that you can preview here.
It's always a site (and sound) to behold when CN drags trains up toward Proctor after a delivery of pellets at Dock 6. Especially true when the Missabe maroon veteran is on duty in the afternoon sunlight.
Word is that just a few days later, the 403 would suffer a cracked block and is currently out of service. Would this be one of the last times that the venerable EMD would make this climb? Time will tell.

I love to make my own pasta.
The pasta dough has to be rolled very thinly. You should be able to see your skin through it when you place the rolled pasta over your hand.
The amount here will give me two dinners for 3 people (6 portions) I tend to stick to tagliatelle or angel hair pasta as I don't have a pasta machine, its easy to roll and slice. (I think Santa maybe bringing me a pasta machine???) one must be careful when one opens cupboards or maybe Hublets should hide things better hahahahahaha.
There are a few different recipes for pasta doughs, each region of Italy has their own way of making it. Some simply just use 00 flour and water. I prefer it with eggs and an equal amount of 00 Flour and Semolina and little Extra Virgin olive oil. The semolina helps the sauce stick to the pasta and the Extra Virgin Olive Oil makes it lovely to roll. Only a tiny bit of Extra Virgin Olive oil is needed, you get a smooth finish when you've kneaded it and rolled into a ball.. Wrap it up in clingfilm and it will keep in the fridge for 7 days.
The taste is sensational. The dough takes 10=15 minutes to make, you need to knead it though, kneading is important, great for the arms.
Its that simple, place it in the fridge and cut off the amount needed and roll it out, cut it into strips and place into boiling water until desired texture. Drain, and add a little of the pasta water to your sauce.
Yesterday my sauce was sliced garlic, anchovy fillets in oil, some dried chilli peppers all cooked in the anchovy oil and a knob of butter. As I cooked the pasta I threw in some broccoli heads. I then tossed them in the anchovy sauce and served the pasta and sauce with grated parmesan cheese. simple. perfect. tasty.
Served with flagons of wine... hahahaha
Dough Recipe
4 large eggs (room temperature)
1 1/2 cups of 00 flour
1 cup of Semolina flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
Happy Cooking

We don't see the Rufous-sided Towhees very often because they are rather shy birds, keeping mostly to the edge of clearings where cover is close by. However, like this male, sometimes they do come out into the open for short spells, to forage under feeders.
It's always great to see these handsome birds, but I just wish he'd have picked a "prettier" place for is snacking. LOL!
