Houses - one is a new gift bag. Two are crafts that my son and I made a few years ago.
It was all treats for railfans from the Canadian Pacific on Halloween this year, but maybe a little bit of a trick for the crew of this Toronto-bound manifest/ballast train. They had made their way down the last part of the Mactier Sub and onto the North Toronto within the first hour of daylight, but were halted at Leaside due to a major train traffic jam getting into Toronto Yard ahead of them. 4 eastbound trains, 2 westbounds, plus 4 continuous RC Yard Jobs always up to something. Eventually at around 11:30am, they were instructed to run around their train and head to Lambton instead. This made quite a few eyes turn as the lone SD40-2 in this consist was facing west and would end up being the one leading into Lambton. And here they are, sitting in the Lambton 5 yard track shortly after the crew hopped on a taxi to take them back to Agincourt. What a day!

Bucket; Bowtique - Trick or Treat Bucket
An earlier B&W Pano-Sabotage piece referenced to classic Science Fiction writer, John Wyndham's short story, "Confidence Trick" in it's notes. I'd decided not to name that image after the story but the idea of doing so with the kind of big city imagery that I do stayed with me until I went with it with this one.
Briefly, as with most Science Fiction, the story is really a proposition of philosophical ideas being worked out through a speculative narrative. Does that make the idea any less rigorous? It's the idea not it's vehicle that's the all-important gist.
Wyndham's story examines the notion of a kind of solipsism wherein one man begins to doubt what he sees as reality, thinking that it might just be a construct of his own consciousness.
As the story goes on he lays out all the thoughts that lead him to that conclusion. One day on a busy city street he decides that what he sees is a 'confidence trick' and he that he's going to pull his investment from it to see what happens.
He stands on the street and with the full force of his intent he starts to declare that he no longer believes what he sees. Before he can finish his sentence, the world in front of him begins to crumble and dissolve.
Flicker artist Solano Snapper raised the question of whether this was all in his mind or if it was literal. Fantastic point for discussion. This would make an excellent topic for University or College philosophy and/ or literature classes to debate.

Black and White Pano-Sabotage continues. "Pano-Sabotage" is the technique of deliberately MIS-using the smart phone's pano camera function to create marked and unique effects WITH THE CAMERA. Some post processing is done for balance and contrast etc, but the EFFECT of the "facet-ized" imagery is done IN the camera, AT the moment of shooting.
See the Flickr group, "PANO-Vision" for a gallery of said imagery as practiced by a small roster of dedicated, serious artists who are pushing this medium into fantastic new places.

Every day, twice a day, we run Jasper through his tricks. Keeps the mind sharp and gives him a chance to earn some treats. This one is "jump". Pretty basic and always fun. But he also knows beg, wave, roll over, play possum, paws up, say your prayers, play dead, turn right, turn left, put it in the basket and take a bow. I know there are others that I can't think of. I think he likes jump best. He was born to fly.
This is a chocolate ghost as big as 6 cm and the part reflected in the photograph is about 3 cm in all.
The ghost shaped blur of the background was also made with this chocolate!!
Happy Halloween and Happy Macro Monday to all!!
So I bought this funky spotlight to shine onto our front door for an extra Halloween effect. I thought it would look cool on the outside. However, it turns out it looks even more awesome on the inside! It made our door look like it was on fire. Then I tried to catch trick or treaters silhouetted against the door as they rang our bell. Of course, they don't stand still nor do they stand in the ideal spot. If I were to ask them to pose they freaked out a bit (as did the parents). Then, hubby offered to pose with a kitchen knife for me. Thanks hon. It was a fun night.
This is an un-posed, in situ photo of a western black widow I found yesterday, the day before Halloween, literally living under a decorative Halloween pumpkin on our front porch. If you look closely, you can even see one of her fangs. After taking her picture, I relocated her to the garden, since this pumpkin will only be around for a couple of weeks and isn't a good long-term home for her.
Still working on "tables" - and still not seeing a problem (same crate - this time with a black velvet cover). Perhaps it's just when both dogs are together? Will have to try that next.
The large cape (drags on the floor) didn't bother them either.
Love Toby's expression here - or lack there of. :D
