day 782 - catching a lot of sun

the pink tulips look pretty from its underside facing the bright sun. it's like they're trying to catch a lot of sunlight for later use!

day 781 - feeling fluffy!

i don't know what this tree is but the clustered flowers sure look like cotton balls. they are so lovely!

day 780 - small things come with a big punch

the flowers look like lily of the valley, but i've never seen LOTV clusterd like this. maybe it's a genus?

day 799 - i fancy a pansy

pretty miniature pansy flower; found on the side of a road.

day 798 - hyacinthus

beautiful purple hyacinth; gives me a headache but i still like them. some people give me headaches, too, and i don't like them. they are not like the hyacinth.

day 797 - the great wall of china

literally. a wall decorated with different patterns of china. it's great! get it?

day 796 - friday afternoon

toronto's rush hour. the sun casts long shadows of people on the pavement.

day 795 - it's a plane!

yes, there's also a bird, right in front of its nose. but you must look closely.

day 794 - sun peeking through

the morning sun peeking through the fence and through the kitchen window. damn those parking lot signs!

day 793 - flower power-er

what holds the flower in all its beauty, but the little rocks soaked underneath just doing its duty.

day 792 - white roses

why not? it's free to take pictures at the market!

day 791 - birthday flowers

"i sent thee late a rosy wreath
not so much honouring thee
as giving it a hope that there
it could not withered be"
- a song to celia, by ben jonson

day 790 - what a waste!

as beautiful as this shot looks, it is still a pity and a waste that in the middle of the day when the sun is at its brightest, the lamp lights are on. what gives?

day 789 - slow beginnings

these buds on a tree look like little claws. grrr!

day 788 - yellow roses for aida

these ones are bathed in lamplights. taken from a florist's display window.

day 787 - spring flowers

soft...scent...thrill your senses.

day 786 - never have enough

day 784 - glorious sunshine

lovely jonquilles, bathed in morning sunshine. the best

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 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.

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

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
