day 1038 - a winter's day

"in a deep and dark december..."

day 1037 - the spy who came in from the cold

the image just evokes that title to mind.

day 1036 - stop!

for the snow...

day 1035 - soft

like butter, like a baby's breath.

day 1034 - published

three of my photographs were published by the newspaper 'hellas news', a greek publication with offices in toronto and new york. the photos can be found in the back cover of the thick holiday supplement of the paper. quite chuffed with meself, obviously. if you have a chance, get your free copy (at least i think they're free). i'll be showing it to my friend frankie who is a bonafide grecian goddess who will read the captions for me. my thanks to the good people at hellas news!

day 1031 - the grande hermine

the coloured version is in my 365 project.

day 1026 - island berries

went to the islands today for my project. along the boardwalk, there were lots of trees with these red berries.

day 1025 - the holy family and the not so holy

i purposely shot this: an enclosed nativity scene in front of the old toronto city hall and the family that stopped to look at their shopping bag near the display. the child was caught looking at the camera while the father is blurry from moving too much.

day 1024 - shopping at the eaton centre

i can assure you it was a bitch trying to buy anything at any shop at this mall at this time of the year. however, surprised that there was not a lot of people. but i'm sure they'll all show up a day or two before Christmas. and don't even think about going there for boxing day. note two more reindeers and the Christmas tree that changes lights.

day 1023 - oh! Christmas tree

tonight i took partner out to dinner for his 69th birthday. after having a large baklava dessert, we decided to walk off the calories by taking photos of the light display at the greek town parkette. this is the illuminated Christmas tree, and there happened to be a pair of lovers arguing about something.

day 1022 - reindeer

not the one whose nose glows red but a whole flock each illuminated by a thousand fairy lights. the eaton centre has these giant reindeers all over the mall.

day 1021 - blue lights

the orb Christmas tree at Dundas Square changes lights from white to blue. caught the blue segment.

day 1020 - the reason for the season

sometimes some things look better in black and white.

day 1019 - they're back

the swan pair is back, quite surprisingly.
