Table for... two? three?

Funny setup for a restaurant... kinda like catering to cattle, eh?

Weird people

This dog was just sitting there with his paw like that for the longest time (I was waiting at a red light so they were in my sights), I asked if I could snap a pic and the guy said yes yes! After that he asked me for beer money... kinda ruined the moment but hey, it was still funny!

A study in wax

Caputured these outide a candle store, they smelled even prettier than they looked.

Cozy corners

I've never stopped at this little shisha cafe which is a few minutes from my place, but it sure is pretty... an oasis of smoke in the hard hot city!

Passing time

I too love a break in the park in the warm months, paper and pen to keep me and my thoughts company. Although I'm not a grumpy old coot like this guy. What a waste of a smile, really. Pfft.

Dry froggies

Cute window display, I'm not sure what they're supposed to be for but they were singing to me!

Demons are people too!

It's Friday, can't be too serious on a Friday... here to interrupt the theme of summer people is Mr Gargoyle, affectionately known as Lex Blockhead. He looks pretty cool all lit up at night, he really does!

Studying spring

Human donkey, anyone?

I just had to show you this guy... one heavy bag in each hand, a backpack, he is carrying a big box - and is wearing a neck brace. I wish I could have captured the expression on his face, it was quite something, ha ha! I guess not everyone is lucky to be born with four legs and a tail ;-)

Another kind of spring flower

I don't normally like kids, but this little one was too cute - I just had to capture her giggles on film!

Last of the flower shots

Well I do have more flower shots but I'm bored now, time to move on to other things! Hope you enjoyed this week's series and stay posted for fun new photos, coming right UP! This week. *grin*

Spilling over: beauty and secrets

Hope you're not yet tired of the flower theme... Just a few more of the jewels stretching out in the morning sun, spilling their nectar into the warm caressing spring breezes...

Friday flowers, part oh I forget!

Two more lovelies competing for the sun's attention... and mine!

A study in awesomeness

Yes, that's a word! Because it fits and because I said so. Now. Can anyone stay indifferent to such flowers, reaching up towards the heavens with all their might, offerering their sweet pollen for nature to take? I didn't think so.

More colorful jewels

I could photograph them all day... such willing happy little subjects they are, basking in the sun and swaying in the breeze. Such a hard life they have, these flowers! ;-)

Location: Montreal, QC

Flowers, glorious flowers

I like how these tiny beauties make a wreath all on their own... the tree was covered with thousands of red kisses, does anyone know what kind of flower they are?



Mother Nature has a very good hand with her paintbrush, doesn't she?

In celebration of springtime

If you like flowers, this is your week!

Here is the first of a series on the magnificience of springtime treasures, those sudden yet elusive jewels in Mother Nature's crown. All pictures were taken during a 30 minute meandering walk along a few neighboring streets - one could almost forget there is so much cement around...

PS: Yes, the flowers really are this bright and colorful - these are untouched photos.

As the sun gently sets...

...it creates poetry of the most mundane of objects. View: from my balcony at dusk one random evening.

Peek-a-boo

Sunset on my street's church steeple as seen from my balcony, over rooftops... the colors were so pretty I just had to grab my camera and capture the moment.

Guest photographer - Australia beaches, last part

I hope you enjoyed this week's photo theme; here is the last snapshot in the Guest Photographer series... isn't it a beaut? Back to Technodoll's quirky collection as of tomorrow, if she can manage to get her photo mojo back!

Location: Sunshine Beach, Australia

Guest photographer: Australia beaches, pt4

Yes, the water really is this blue (I asked)! Nice to see some parts of the world are not yet marred by humans...

Guest photographer: Australia beaches, pt3

I love this action shot... I can almost taste the salty water and feel its rushing warmth glide across my body. Rrrrr.

Guest photographer: Australia beaches, pt2

Australia is famous for its surfer-friendly waves, just ask this daredevil if he enjoys the ride! Um, yes I have heard there are sharks lurking about but hey, it's all part of the thrill... Thank you A for yet another delightful photo!

Location: Sunshine Beach, Australia

Guest photographer: Australia beaches, pt1

Since I'm nowhere near any beaches or the sea for some time still (sigh), this week I have a special treat for you: an Australian guest photographer (my ex, actually!), who has graciously accepted to "lend" me a few photos for the snapshots blog.

These were taken on the Sunshine Coast so kick back and enjoy. In the meantime keep visiting for some more stunning visuals! Back to the normal program by the weekend, if I can get my camera excited about something, anything, again...

Last of the Brighton shots

A last English photo for a bit... Here is interesting some architecture that caught my eye whilst walking towards the sea with Vegas. What a warm and gorgeous day it was!

Winter curves

I love how the beach boardwalk curves and curls along the rocky pebble shore, even if it was a cold wet January stroll it was quite an interesting study in grey.

Location: Brighton, UK

Peeking at reverence

I still can't believe the grass was this green in early January... must be some kind of holy ground for nature to lay herself upon in such glory, thumbing her nose up at the calendar.

Location: Brighton, UK

Trip down memory laine...

Just one of many quirks you will find in the Brighton Laines... I hope to someday visit in the summer to see how tourists and foliage add to the character and charm of this place. Photo taken early January, 2008.

Can you get more English than this?

...I don't think so! LOL!

Perfection has no limits

"You will begin to touch heaven, Jonathan, in the moment that you touch perfect speed. And that isn't flying a thousand miles an hour, or a million, or flying at the speed of light. Because any number is a limit, and perfection doesn't have limits. Perfect speed, my son, is being there." Richard Bach, Jonathan Livingston Seagull (1970)
