Everyone Needs Hope

Wherever my story takes me, however dark and difficult the theme, there is always some hope and redemption, not because readers like happy endings, but because I am an optimist at heart. I know the sun will rise in the morning, that there is a light at the end of every tunnel. Michael Morpurgo.

PS - Due to recent budget cuts the Light at the End of the Tunnel has been turned off.

Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.

Seeing Red

I decided to go out and photograph something with the colour red.
Maple tree seeds were the first item I found.

Then I found a vine with red leaves.

The last item turned out to be a pine cone. One lesson that I learned, is that outside of autumn, trees have more red than I had noticed before.

Friday Evening Traffic

This traffic is actually not as heavy as it normally is in the p.m. rush hour exodus from The City Of Toronto. Usually at this time of day it comes to complete standstill.

School Days

June is the last month of school before two months of summer recess.

Trainspotting

Sometimes life is just a blur.

Camera Shy

This is what happened when the beaver saw me before
I could get the camera up to my face and shoot.

Tree Tattoos

When I was a kid I used to carve my initials into beech trees like this one.

Self Portrait

It's me checking out the Pioneer Cemetery.
I used my tripod and a remote control to take this photo.
