Cee’s Which Way Challenge: August 17, 2016
And today for Cee’s Which Way Challenge! (https://ceenphotography.com/2016/08/17/cees-which-way-photo-challenge-august-17-2016/)
“This all about capturing the roads, walks, trails, rails, steps, etc. we move from one place to another on. You can walk on them, climb them, drive them, ride on them, as long as the specific way is visible. Any angle of a bridge is acceptable as are any signs.”
UPDATE: I need to thank Cee for honouring me as a featured blogger for this post. Thanks Cee!! (https://ceenphotography.com/2016/08/24/cees-which-way-photo-challenge-august-24-2016/)
Every path that goes down…
Must go back up again. But it was ok – we had lunch to burn off!
Share Your World – 2016 Week 34
And now for this week’s Share Your World (https://ceenphotography.com/2016/08/22/share-your-world-2016-week-34/).
What is your favorite comfort snack food?
Potato chips. And Nachos. No…nachos. And french fries…and poutine. Yes. Poutine. From street vendors in Quebec is the best, but I’ll take poutine anywhere, any time. Or any of the aforementioned comfort foods…
Is the paper money in your possession right now organized sequentially according to denomination and with the bills right side up and facing the same way?
Paper money? I don’t understand. I think I have a loonie somewhere…
If you were a mouse in your house in the evening, what would you see your family doing?
Nothing – we have 3 cats.
Would you rather not be able to read or not be able to speak?
I don’t know, but I wish some politicians would choose the latter for a change.
Monday Window: August 22 2016
And now it’s time for Monday Window (https://mondaywindow.wordpress.com)
I thought I’d take the easy route today and share with you one of our windows, well, set of windows. The windows on our front porch! I especially like the reflections in them…
Oh, it’s Monday again…

Tuesday Photo Challenge – Curves
Here is Dutch Goes the Photo’s (https://dutchgoesthephoto.net) Tuesday photo Challenge. This week’s topic is: Curves (https://dutchgoesthephoto.net/2016/08/16/tuesday-photo-challenge-curves/).
“Your challenge this week is to identify curves in the world around you and capture what they express. I’m leaving this entirely up to your creative minds, as any kind of curves will do with the pressure on you to capture something of great interest! Can’t wait to see what you will come up with!!”
Here are a few of the curves in my life (not the metaphorical ones, although there have been plenty of those too!) from the last few weeks.
Sometimes curves complete a circle:,
Sometimes they don’t…
52 Weeks Photo Challenge: Week 2
A challenge from That Girl that Dreams Awake (https://thegirlthatdreamsawake.wordpress.com/) – a 52-week challenge, and this week’s topic is Food (https://thegirlthatdreamsawake.wordpress.com/2016/08/15/52weeks-photo-challenge-week-2-food/)
Well, what do you know? I’ve been posting pics of food again…here are some from last night’s dinner!
A little avocado (we love avocados – mine with just salt and pepper, and Kev’s with some thick balsamic drizzled over it.) These are definitely a little over-ripe, but they are still delicious!
And for the BBQ, some asparagus (a favourite!)
Porkchops, split and stuffed with spice and folded over again
Skewers of little prawns
And, the final product!
To be washed down with a little Fat Tug (if you aren’t familiar with the IPA known as Fat Tug, you don’t know what you’re missing!)
Where you might think it was Kitten Thursday again, but it’s really just Sunday…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Rare
“For this week’s challenge, share a photo of something rare: a family heirloom. A cloudy day in a normally sunny desert. A sad frown on a cheerful kid’s face. Or anything else you think of as scarce and singular. I can’t wait to see what “rare” means to you!” (https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/rare/)
It is he – Nicholas and a few rare sightings. Especially rare is the final one: Nicholas on the “outside”…
