day 783 - surprise!

trying to take a macro shot of a new shoot found at the parkette. i thought it was just some new leaves, but i was surprised to see there were tiny berries with it. i should really really start wearing my glasses :-)

day 782 - fancy schmancy pansy

well, hello, mr. smarty pansy. nice to see you on this very very cold day.

day 781 - bursts of red

found this low bush at the parkette next door. must look up what kind of plant this is.

day 780 - reach for the sky

clear skies but cold as hell, er ice. the soft breeze makes the tall reeds sway gently as if reaching up to the blue blue skies.

day 779 - a study in depth of field

dof is well and good, if you don't forget to change the light setting of your camera from inside incandescent when you're outside in the full sun. but doesn't this look cool? it is, because it is cold outside despite the sun. i know. the thermometer says so.

day 778 - waxing crescent

the moon, waxing cresent at 16.5%. and that is venus to the right. interesting, isn't it?

day 777 - strange flowers

strange to me, at least. they are so tiny. the tire of a full-size bike gives you the perspective of how small these plants are. these are very deep dark pink but of course that doesn't show much on the pink and since it was bright sunshine in london today.

day 776 - a pink car!

i'm very interested in finding out if a man actually drives this. not that there's anything wrong with a man driving a pink car, because i have a very high respect for men who loves pink. pink stuff, not pink the rocker.

day 775 - barbie shoes and clutches

i'd use the clutch bags depending on where i'm going and the colour of my dress. but i can't fathom why i'd wear the shoes. ah, yes, i now remember, barbie wanna-be's. see them all the time around the malls downstairs and they all walk funny. wonder if they try to run for the train in these crap? in thirty years, the country will be full of old women with severely deformed bunions! tee-hee!

day 774 - yellow

keeping the red vespa company.

day 773 - smart lunch

papaya, grapes, blueberries and spicy cheese. not lunch, after lunch.

day 772 - dyed turkey feather

that's what the package says - dyed turkey feather. is all.

day 771 - cyclamen leaf

that's all.

day 770 - a red mini cooper

well, had you got parked in there two weeks ago, more people would've seen you on 365.

day 769 - happy st. patrick's day, everyone

this is janet, our mailroom gal, hamming it up in the spirit of st. paddy's.

day 768 - another red vespa

it's not the same as i've posted on february 15th, but who knows? this was in front of our building at lunchtime when my lottery buddies and i went out for our pizza lunch.

day 767 - the old front street

walking down front street to take in the beautiful weather.

day 766 - gooseberries

had a meeting at the office today and i harvested all the gooseberries, well, all three that were left.

day 765 - shadow in the sand

the afternoon sun casts long shadows on the shore.

day 764 - early morning on the danforth

practicing to use the manual setting to get the sunrise colours.

day 763 - let's go fly a kite

beautiful windy day to fly a kite, by the waters, so blue as the clear sky.

day 762 - need cheering up?

get yourself some tulips, like i did. well, the whites and the coral ones were given to me while i bought the yellows. now i'm cheered, i should get out of the house.

day 761 - jocelyn's orchids

this is the orchid plant in young jocelyn's office. she's gone home so i took a photo of this before the flowers all wither and die.

day 760 - yellow tulips

it's tulips time, and i have three colours to photograph and post.

day 759 - fruits

honey tangerines, a royal gala apple and a green apple.

day 758 - thingamajiggs

went to see virginia to record a show for the liferattle.ca podcasts. this glass jar was on top of her shelf right next to the lamp. it contains her earrings and other thingamajiggs.

day 757 - the moon, yet again

nothing else was taken today from outdoor. 'cept this.

day 756 - blueberry danish

or what's left of it. yummmm!

day 755 - green apple

"god didn't make the little green apples, it don't snow in indianapolis in the wintertime" - from a glen campbell song, popular in the 70's or thereabouts. funny this photo uploaded upside down. can you tell?

day 754 - purple dragon

i forgot that i have this thingamajiggsky. i bought new batteries and it glows with different colours. lucky i got the purple combination.

day 753 - atrium at scotia plaza

there is a nice atrium-like sitting place at the scotia plaza and i couldn't resist taking pics of the flowers. there are mini-roses, anthurium, cyclamen, etc. and colourful variegated oriental plants.
