Swan Parade

The swans are migrating south at this time of year.
Every morning there's at least 30 to 40 swans on Frenchman's Bay.

Empty Slips

The boats have been remove for the winter. The one in the background with the plastic wrap will remain as living quarters for the winter.

Take Off

It's not very often that I see swans in flight.

Motorcycles

It's not very often that I see the big ones like these two.

Monday Murals - Bradley Street Pedestrian Underpass

A dreary pedestrian underpass is now a work of art thanks to London's Community Art Project. Twenty students from Rick Hansen and White Oaks public schools in grades 7 and 8 collaborated with local mural artist, Andrew Gillet. This side is painted a cool blue with orcas.

Monday Murals - Oshawa's Famous "Generals"

Artist: Paul Ygartua, of Vancouver, British Columbia. The Oshawa Generals Major Junior Hockey franchise was established for the 1937-38 season and immediately became a hockey powerhouse by winning seven consecutive Ontario championships through to 1944. The team has won five additional Ontario titles since then and has been the Memorial Cup champion four times, in 1939, 1940, 1944, and 1990. Featured are well-known Oshawa Generals stars of the past, including Billy Taylor, Bobby Orr, Terry O'Reilly and Eric Lindros. I'm linking to Monday Mural.

Fungi

It's the month of November and this is about the only new plant life still growing.

Lines And Shapes

It's part of a expansion to a local church. It was the geometric forms that caught me eye.

Monday Murals - Under Construct

Artist: Tracy Root. She is painting a 16 metre wide mural commissioned by the London Arts Council and the city’s heritage committee. Unfortunately for me, I was there on Tracy's day off.

**************************************

Work is taking place along the bike path, under the Thames River crossing of Oxford St., in London Ontario. Tracy designed the scene to include a valley, rolling hills, houses, farmers, and a river running through the middle. The valley is bordered by lush forest on either side and the whole scene is framed with a bright blue sky. She started the mural on September 28th and hopes to have it finished by October 27th.

Same Scene - TwoViews

Focal point is the part of an
image that draws the eye of a viewer to the most important part of the image.

In this photo of the same scene using selective focusing I have directed your attention to the foreground. I rate myself as a amateur photographer and this is not intended to be a lesson. It's just me having fun with my hobby.
