October 14 - 27, 2013 - Photo A Day Project

Two weeks of photos for your viewing pleasure (I hope!) 

The last couple of weeks have been busier than usual, and the next two months will be even more intense, as we take on backstage duties for two back-to-back shows at the Ottawa Little Theatre. 

Life's a tad stressful, so I'm taking steps to remove the less fulfilling activities, and diving into the positive ones. Oh. And increasing my exercise to burn off the tension. Cowabunga!

Here are a few glimpses into my last 14 days...

14 - Favourite Space

Where else but in CANADA would there be a Kindness Fair?

 





































15 - Secret

Squirrels' hidey holes for winter snacks
and decoy holes to fool other nut-stealing critters.




















16 - Leafy

Remember that bright yellow locust from Oct 2nd?
This is what two weeks will do.




















17 - First World Problem

Have to use my "real" camera since the iPhone's battery is shot.
< so spoiled >




















18 - Still

Sometimes it seems like the queue just
does. not. move.
(Another first world problem!)


























19 - A Good Day

... but only if you love storms!
Sadly, Copper and I disagree on this point.

























20 - Open


Target moves into Canada! Goodbye Zellers.










21 - Then and Now

A few more smile lines, a few more silver hairs.



















22 - Change

Come On Red!!!



























24 - Dark

Perhaps a bit of a fishbowl at night?




















25 - Welcome

Some of the sweetest people in the world
work in places like this.




















26 - Depth of Field

Girls Night Out. Not a lot of depth of field in the photo,
but these fabulous women aren't afraid to delve deep.
(Ok... ok... I know it's a stretch... ;))




















27 - Peaceful

Doris Pavelich, one of the incredible artists
at the Ottawa Art Expo.
I wanted to go through that gate and follow
the path in the upper left painting.
Such serenity....

August 2013 Photo A Day Project - Week Four

Wow. Is it really Tuesday afternoon already? My last few days have whirled by, with the beginning meetings of a new (very exciting) college coaching job. 
Thus, last week's photo posting has been delayed. Now, at last, I have a free evening, so here we go!


19 - Lost

Following Pierre's racecar to and from the track
makes getting lost darned near impossible.








20 - Stairs

Heading up for a healing
from Denis Chagnon
(fascinating guy, you may want to check out that link!)









21 - Slow

Birthday girl: Sondra, Jeanne, Val, and I
moving slowly at the end of a lovely, dinner & theatre, HOT, girls night out.
(That's hot, as in serious Ottawa-summer-night temperature
although these are some powerfully-hot women!)









22 - A Room

The least-used room in our house
(except by Penny, who often snoozes atop the cedar chest.)









23 - Yellow

One of two beautiful patches of brown-eyed susans
(and this is after thinning!)











24 - In the Background

Took a walk through a different neighbourhood.
Wasn't exactly sure where I was until I saw this sign peeking through.
At 427,000 square feet -- Canada's largest IKEA-- it's a major landmark!











25 - Culture

From the Maple Sugar Festival; Shakespeare; Chamber-, Folk-, Jazz-, and Blues music;
Greek-, SouthAsian-, Irish-, Turkish-, and Italian Festivals; to last weekend's Pride Parade...
Ottawa loves to celebrate every culture's wonderful and unique traditions.
Feeling so blessed to live here!
