Thank you to all who are helping with suggestions re my work. I'm trying to do some of the ideas presented.

Your Bio

A fellow "smugmugger" turned me on to this site and I'm now hooked.
As a maritime native , I miss the ocean with it's wonderful photographic opportunities ,but I still need lots of practice and equipment to attain great scenery shots.
Thank you for all the beautiful work posted here and the nice comments made on my work thus far.I especially love nature and seascapes .My goal is to get half as good as many artists I see here.
I'm from Hamilton , Ontario on Lake Ontario.
Have a look at shots from My Neighborhood Walks , under Nature. I don`t know how to place it on the first page.
Summer of 2013 is coming.

"How Much is that Doggy in the Window? "
This little guy waits at the window every morning for his master to get home from work and you can`t get a bark or a smile out of him while he waits with this sad , little face. I pass by his house most mornings and he hides behind the curtain , but he was braver today.
I`m very tired so this will be my post for the 29th.This was the best I could do with glass between him and the camera..I wanted to pet his sadness away.
This was taken last year 2011 and , I 've just met the dog owner this am June 19,2012. . Told her that I have this doggy shot for her and she seemed delighted to give me her address so I can drop it off. Thank you to the smug mugger who helped me to sharpen the colors!

Red barn boards gleam in the early spring air!

May 26,,,
I love this green weed and the toad stools.

For Aug. 10,
These beauties are from the university gardens. Are they gardenias, do you think...

thanks for the vertical crop suggestion Hershy and dedman . I held my breath during the process but I love it! Looks great in 2x large.

The Shadow challenge for Paula!
It's an early post due to my work schedule. I've been working on these captures all week and I love some of neighborhood homes with tree shadows on them , but my "red" always wins out for me.

SNOW tomorrow,,,that's what the weather forecast gives ,,,10cm ,,maybe,,
This color caught my eye . It really stood out on this gloomy, overcast day! These two wreaths hang on the outside door of a kindergarten next door to my physio building. Maybe the project serves to entertain the little ones or this is what the teachers do while the kids paint eggs.
An early post for March 30/12
With this cold change of temperature , I needed a cheerful find!
Thank you Christine ! It's an honour to be in your "favorite art by others" gallery!

"Don't call meeee fat."
Aug.12/12 post
Got some things at a yard sale and the lady put them in this shoe box. The moment the tissue was unfolded with the box on the floor , my kitty got into it. She is sitting in the middle of the floor so we are having to walk around her ,but the look we get when we approach is, "no joke." She will not be disturbed! She is getting a little chunky but eats her sister's food during her cat naps .
Have you ever stopped at a yard sale and thought WOW , I think that is fine China from Windsor castle ! Well , you know what I mean.
We got this shoe box full of lovely little things and we thought woohoo , " just like pirates with the treasure chest".
Got home and e bay has the stuff on sale for 35 dollars US. Thought we had a teapot fit for Royalty ,or as Mrs. Bouquet would say " Oooh I'll serve it on my Royal Dolton!"! Oh well, It's pretty vintage china and looks nice on the shelf.

A Velvet Night.
for July 18,,,,
We're having a heat wave..See gallery "Hot Day in the Summertime"

January 26,2013
This reminds me of a Punch and Judy show , or the curtain before a play , but it is a red painted,steel fence backing a little shed in a back yard . Looks like a potting shed, with flower pots and a few drying plants scattered about in between this chain link fence and the colorful wall. I shot a few captures, and was thinking I'd get some of those whimsical looking , artsy shots but this was the only one of clarity! Love the brightness in a cold Winter month.
Thank you for putting me up in number one! Paul might be right about the naps , but they are actually "sleep ins" for as long as I want! Woohoo

I'm SO excited that I finally got a shot of a butterfly this summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went out two days in a row for quite awhile in this heat! It is so HOT again , but it paid off today! This is taken in Gage Park where they have a garden set up with Monarch favorites!! WOOHOOO
I got lots of nice flower shots too but,,later,,,
oh and this is an early Aug.23/12 post yay to Summer!!

I know my lucky worm is here someplace.
