Misty look, kinda dazzled and dreamlike, over the leaves sprouting from the intangible twig of a certain articulate squareness, eyes tense with suspicion although not quite lacking some self-assured impertinence. a slash of enlightened straightforwardness like a poisoned arrow dashing towards the tightlipped explosion of the next instant.
Okay, I admit it. I'm a grammar and spelling geek.

KNOSSOSKnossos (alternative spellings Knossus, Cnossus, Greek Κνωσός, pronounced [knoˈsos]) is the largest Bronze Age archaeological site on Crete and considered as Europe's oldest city.
The name Knossos survives from ancient Greek references to the major city of Crete. The identification of Knossos with the Bronze Age site is supported by tradition and by the Roman coins that were scattered over the fields surrounding the pre-excavation site, then a large mound named Kephala Hill, elevation 85 m (279 ft) from current sea level. Many of them were inscribed with Knosion or Knos on the obverse and an image of a Minotaur or Labyrinth on the reverse, both symbols deriving from the myth of King Minos, supposed to have reigned from Knossos.[5] The coins came from the Roman settlement of Colonia Julia Nobilis Cnossus, a Roman colony placed just to the north of, and politically including, Kephala. The Romans believed they had colonized Knossos.[6] After excavation, the discovery of the Linear B tablets, and the decipherment of Linear B by Michael Ventris, the identification was confirmed by the reference to an administrative center, ko-no-so, Mycenaean Greek Knosos, undoubtedly the palace complex. The palace was built over a Neolithic town. During the Bronze Age, the town surrounded the hill on which the palace was built.
The palace was excavated and partially restored under the direction of Arthur Evans in the earliest years of the 20th century. Its size far exceeded his original expectations, as did the discovery of two ancient scripts, which he termed Linear A and Linear B, to distinguish their writing from the pictographs also present. From the layering of the palace Evans developed de novo an archaeological concept of the civilization that used it, which he called Minoan, following the pre-existing custom of labelling all objects from the location Minoan.
The site of Knossos was discovered in 1878 by Minos Kalokairinos. The excavations in Knossos began in 1900 by the English archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans (1851–1941) and his team, and continued for 35 years. Its size far exceeded his original expectations, as did the discovery of two ancient scripts, which he termed Linear A and Linear B, to distinguish their writing from the pictographs also present. From the layering of the palace Evans developed an archaeological concept of the civilization that used it, which he called Minoan, following the pre-existing custom of labelling all objects from the location Minoan.
Since their discovery, the ruins have undergone a history of their own, from excavation by renowned archaeologists, education and tourism, to occupation as a headquarters by governments warring over the control of the eastern Mediterranean in two world wars. This site history is to be distinguished from the ancient.

Last fall, my coworkers and I did a promo shot for our Facebook page by spelling out MWO (Mount Washington Observatory) at sunset.
They’re never too young to learn how to spell. Today’s word is “California”!
This Middie Blythe doll is Lena Elena, joined by two Petites for “Back to School” on Facebook. This classroom is one of the rooms in our Madeline Pop-up Dollhouse. The map of California on the wall is actually a postcard…a WOODEN postcard, if you can believe it! It was sent to us by our friend Katherine who lives in California.
I love taking pictures of squirrels--they have so many cute expressions---I got several shots of them yesterday--but I promise not to post all of them :-) ENJOY THE DAY---THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR VISITS!

Please do note fave my photos without commenting ( what do people do with thousands of faves, look at them every morning ?)
Not sure if they ran out of space, or if that abbreviated spelling was actually in common use at the time...
Seen at The Chickenburger in Bedford.
From their web site:
“The Chick” was opened in 1940 and is reputed to be the oldest drive-in restaurant in Canada. Today, the historical landmark remains a community icon as a destination for families and friends alike.
Throw a tune on the jukebox while you enjoy great food in the nostalgic 50’s setting. This iconic 50’s inspired diner provides a snapshot into the past, with both indoor and outdoor seating.
For over 80 years, The Chickenburger has maintained a reputation of excellence by providing high quality fresh food and superb customer service. The same chicken recipe crafted in 1940 is still used to ensure customers keep coming back for the same great taste."
From me:
"PLUS their staff are darned friendly!"
I'll have more shots and/or a collage soon from the visit...
I had just finished picking up a tube of oil paint for my wife’s next project and was on my way home on Toronto’s Queen Street. I saw activity in Nathan Phillips Square in front of City Hall and decided to stop and walk my bike through the square. Call me Mr. Curious.
I discovered that the activities were part of the Pan Am and Para Pan Games which Toronto is hosting and which will be starting in the next few days. Athletes from the Americas have already begun arriving at the athletes village and the city is abuzz. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Pan_American_Games) Large letters spelling out “TORONTO” were being erected alongside the reflecting pool in front of City Hall and preparations were underway for some upcoming entertainment.
I thought it would be fun to incorporate the name of my city in a project photo and looked around me. The first thing I saw was this striking young woman who was chatting with another woman who was sporting a camera with a sizeable zoom lens. I approached and explained my request, giving the usual information about the project. She was clearly pleased to have been asked and the other woman also thought it sounded like a great project. Meet Jane.
I had already shared my contact card and some details about 100 Strangers and about Flickr when it occurred to me to check on Jane’s age. She was under-age. My heart sank and I pointed out that we are not supposed to be approaching people under 18 for obvious reasons. Both seemed crestfallen. The other woman’s face then lit up and she said “Surely as Jane’s mother I can give permission can’t I?” I said “You are Jane’s mother?” She laughed and said (with a slight German accent) “Of course. Who did you think I was?” It was another of my classic awkward moments and I said the first thing that came to mind: “I guess I thought you were friends.” We all laughed and I added “How nice for a mother and daughter to also be friends!” Meet Maggie. We put our heads together and I agreed that since both were excited about the project, it would be ok. I even added “Hey, I could also take a photo of the two of you when Jane and I are done.”
I explained to Jane that I wanted to position her in front of the TORONTO letters which were on the other side of the reflecting pond and we proceeded to take the photos – some with her stylish glasses and some without (she handed them to Maggie). I was impressed by Jane’s style and poise as I photographed her. Despite expressing inexperience with posing, she seemed very natural. She struggled a bit with the breeze which was blowing her hair across her face but I set her at ease saying it would give the photo a natural, spontaneous look. Maggie seemed quite proud of her daughter and was enjoying the whole experience, standing nearby. I think she may have been photographing me photographing Jane but I was intent on what I was doing.
Photos taken, I commented on what a photogenic daughter Maggie has and we proceeded to chat together. Jane is in high school and her interest is in drama. She would like to act and said she did some acting in tv and movie productions as an extra “But then I got braces and I didn’t get asked any more.” That surprised me but now with her braces off I think Jane will get asked a lot – perhaps for both acting and modeling. I learned that Maggie is originally from Austria but the family has been living in Berlin. Maggie’s husband is Canadian and “he kept talking about how much he missed Canada so we moved here a year ago.” Jane’s father is a trucker who does mostly long-haul trips to and from the U.S. It’s a job which is hard on family life but he keeps in regular contact and is usually home on weekends. When I asked Jane how Toronto compares to Berlin she said “Berlin has older buildings and lots of spray paint, but in Germany there is a much more relaxed attitude toward the sale of alcohol. It was surprising to see that alcohol is so tightly controlled here in Toronto compared to Germany where it is for sale in every supermarket.”
Jane’s family live in the nearby city of Pickering and Jane and Maggie had come into town today just to stroll around and enjoy the day. “Pickering is ok but it’s pretty boring” Maggie said. “We’d prefer to move to Toronto; do you happen to know of any good apartments for rent in Toronto?” I confessed I didn’t but I did say that although it can be an expensive city, it’s a wonderful place to live. I gave them a bit of advice on where they might continue their stroll today – along Queen Street West with its vintage shops and trendy, interesting people.
When I asked Jane if she had a message she wanted to share with the world she laughed and said “Always look your best. You never know when a photographer is going to want to take your picture!” It was a great comment and she definitely takes her own advice.
Thank you Jane and Maggie for taking the time to meet and for being so enthusiastic about 100 Strangers. You were fun to talk to and Jane, you are #846 in Round 9 of my project. Enjoy Toronto.
Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by the other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page.
Update: I received a very nice email from Maggie thanking me for the photos and telling me what a great experience it was meeting and participating in the project. She offered a couple of minor corrections to my text which I've incorporated. She also sent along a few photos of me photographing her daughter. That was fun to receive and I've incorporated one of her photos as a comment photo (below).
Good Bye
An extra thanks to all because although I didn't realize it at the time, this was to be my final 100 Strangers submission. I'm glad it was enjoyed by so many and I wish you all well with your projects. My future strangers work may be found at The Human Family.
