Yes, it's true. I own 4 eight balls, and two, two piece cue sticks, but don't play. There are more balls, both billiard, and snooker, but, like I said, I don't play. lol Props, props everywhere. As my Flickr friend Torrie might say, "I never met a prop I didn't love...and buy". Also, I believe that this may just be the first time I used my new lightbox which I bought a few years ago. Finally found a place I can leave it up for a while.

.... at least as long as you don't touch her. Try to rub her belly and the teddy bear will turn into the feline version of an erupting volcano. :)
Cleo was lying on the table when I took this photo. The fact that she is able to climb onto the table again shows that her paw seems to be better at the moment and I have started to reduce the Metacam.
The Flickr Lounge-Pencil
I liked the swirl of the pencils and the acorns on the outside of the container.
The morning sun lights up this Maidenhair Fern on my coffee table, just before I close the blinds to defeat the heat for the day.

Take me to your leader takes on a whole new meaning when this magnetic powered Mothership from the planet Magnetron landed in my studio just the other day. Actually just a bunch of neodymium magnets and steel ball bearings. All courtesy of Amazon.ca. You may have noticed a little red "paint" on some of the magnets from when they attacked me, trapping my fingers and thumbs between their nefarious layers. I didn't notice the A- paint till after. lol No aliens were harmed in the taking of this photo. Well, except for me. I am, technically an alien, as my students never tired of reminding me. lol
The blueberries from my garden.
This year's blueberries are bigger than last year's.
I sopposed that it had more berries on the tree but I can't find a twig with bunch of berries. Where they would be? Someone (some birds? insects? or what? ) tasted them before me?
Anyway congrats on these lovery harvests!
The "All American Songbook" was my dad's, and it was my first introduction to many early American songs. It was copyrighted in 1942, and sold for a whopping 25 cents. The songbook, "The Sovereign" was copyrighted in 1897 (it's actually a hardcover) and sold for the outlandish price of 75 cents. I bought it for a dollar at a local antique store's sidewalk sale a couple summers ago. The harmonica, or, mouth organ, is a fairly run of the mill Hohner, Marine Band 1896. (That's not the year, just an identifier.) Bought at another local antique shoppe. Both my dad and my grandfather played the mouth organ. I may give it a try, too, but, I think I'll buy a new one for that. lol

Exquisite beauty is often found in the least ornate simplicity.
Had some fun in the front yard today, before starting the raking of leaves. I bought this carnival glass whatever it is for my wife for Christmas one year. More shots from today to come. For context, this is on a rough crate on a bistro table in the front yard. lol The object is about 8 inches tall. (ca. 20cm.)
I guess that's what happens when you leave food out

Ok, a bit of explanation here. We now live in New Brunswick, Canada, after living in St. Thomas, Ontario for almost 40 years. My wife grew up on the Niagara Peninsula where her family had various ties to the fruit industry there. Winona, Ontario used to be like the peach capital of the country, but sadly, most of the peach orchards are now gone, replaced with urban sprawl from Hamilton. The basket, I found in an antique/consignment store in St. John, New Brunswick last week. A little bit of my wife's childhood, 60 years on. The apples are not from Ontario, but from the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia, our neighbouring province. The chair/table is one of those Adirondack or Muskoka style chairs with a connecting table betwixt. So, this is a kind of fusionary shot.
It was a busy day in St. Thomas, today. It was the first day of the Great Lakes International Air Show, so aircraft were flying overhead all day. Then I set up the bistro table on the deck, and set up my camera with the big gun, in the house to shoot whatever came my way. What came was Blue Jays, Cardinals, Orioles (all in their baseball finery) and a host of squirrels which came in three colourings/shades. There was grey, black, and blacker. So, theoretically, 3 Shades Of Grey, I guess.
You've heard of the superhero Green Arrow, and probably his colourful cousin, Green Lantern, but, move over green boys, there's a new virescent hero in town. Yes, it's Green Vase. His super power? Jury's still out on that one, but plenty of pundits are pontificating. I love it when they do that.
The "crate" in question here, and some other, yet to be posted photos, is made by a local craftsman from wood recycled from tobacco drying kilns. Tobacco was for many decades, a major cash crop here in SW Ontario. With government cash incentives to switch to food oriented crops, many farmers have abandoned tobacco for those other crops. This has made for a cheap source of rough wood that is easily worked, and repurposed into something less toxic, and more aesthetic. I bought the crate at the local Home Hardware, and began my search for objects to attractivize it. I tried to stick to a more rustic/primitive feel, in keeping with the crate. I forget what preset I used in Lightroom Classic.

I felt that this tabletop, shuttlecock shot looked a tad bit ominous. I think that virtually anything, and everything can take on an aura of malevolence given the right setting, and appropriate lighting.
Cover Art
I am a Professional Artist. I love using paint and pencils to put ideas on paper. I don't do it with words but with colours. I haven't done a lot of physical art in recent history but hope to get back into it more this year. It's a very satisfying way to express yourself.
"Life is a Rainbow - One year in colours"
December : Black [52/52 weeks]
Et voici la toute dernière photo du projet "Life is a Rainbow - One year in colours / 52 weeks" (pour les voir toutes, c'est par ici : flic.kr/s/aHskzVudpK) !!! :-)))
52 semaines, 4 photos par mois, une couleur différente à chaque fois...un beau défi à relever et, surtout, de belles découvertes photographiques !
j'ai eu beaucoup de plaisir à participer à ce magnifique projet qui m'a régulièrement poussé à sortir hors de ma zone de confort et qui, je le réalise à présent, m'a également permis d'évoluer en photographie en m'incitant à développer ma créativité, à chercher sans cesse de nouvelles idées et à "penser" différemment mes compositions...sans ce projet, je n'aurais pas forcément "shooté" certaines des images que je vous ai présentées tout au long de l'année. Je pense notamment à la dernière série de photos, sur le thème du noir que j'appréhendais (comment garder mon style poétique, ma touche de magie et maintenir la douceur que j'affectionne avec une couleur si dure) !
Au final, je suis heureuse et -je l'avoue- un peu fière aussi d'avoir suivi ce "52 weeks" de la première à la dernière semaine de l'année.
Je profite de ce message pour m'excuser auprès de ceux qui me suivent, pour mon absence régulière dans vos belles galeries et pour mes non-réponses à vos commentaires sur mes dernières publications. Je vais tâcher d'y remédier prochainement !
En attendant, un grand merci pour toutes vos visites, vos petites étoiles et pour vos sympathiques mots (toujours si encourageants et, sachez-le, très appréciés), tout au long de l'année ❤
Puisse ce Noël être rempli de joie, d'Amour, de sourires et de moments inoubliables à partager avec vos proches!
Meilleurs voeux et de Bonnes Fêtes à tous ! :-)

Here is my last picture of the project "Life is a Rainbow - One year in colors / 52 weeks" !!! :-))) In this album you can see all my photos: flic.kr/s/aHskzVudpK
52 weeks, 4 photos per month, a different color each time...what a beautiful challenge and also some beautiful photographic discoveries !
I had a lot of fun participating in this wonderful project. It allowed me to get out of my comfort zone and to evolve in photography encouraging me to develop my creativity, to constantly look for new ideas and to "think" differently my compositions...without this project, I would not necessarily have "shot" some of the pictures that I presented to you throughout the year. I am thinking in particular of the last series of photos, on the theme of black that I dreaded (how to keep my poetic style, my touch of magic and maintain the softness that I love with such a hard color) !
Finally, I'm happy and -I will admit it- a little bit proud to have followed this "52 weeks" from the first to the last week of the year.
I take this message to apologize to those who follow me, for my regular absence in your beautiful galleries and for my non-response to all your comments on my latest publications. I will try to remediate it soon!
In the meantime, a big thank you for all your visits, your likes and, especially, for your kind words. I really appreciated them all so much ❤
May this special day be filled with lots of happy, love, smiles and unforgettable moments with your loved ones!
Warmest thoughts and Best Wishes for a Merry Christmas to all !
