Southern Ontario Sunsets For David and Carol Fisher












For the first time in a while, the sunset was back over the lake!
The dull, damp weather had hidden the sun from view for almost a week.

I had told Bernie that I would use his camera to take the pictures of the glorious event and I was astounded at how well his 2.1 Sony cyber-shot camera performed.
My 7.2 Sony cyber-shot could not have done any better!!

Here are the Tuesday night photos.

Bernie and I, both would like to dedicate them to our friends David and Carol Fisher.
David has been a little under the weather for a few days and we thought that this would surely make a nice "Get Well" card for him!!


Saija, if you are around...How about it?
Isn't this how lovely EVERY sunset on the prairies is?!

To Susan With Love.... A Canadian Autumn












This Wednesday morning, I took these autumn pictures for my good blogging friend, Susan.
We have become kindred spirits.
Now, Susan loves fall scenes and where she lives there are just not any to be had!!
So these pictures are especially for her!
Unfortunately,we are still about ninety per cent green, here in Ontario, but I DID manage to find a few good scenes for her!
My very favorite picture is the top one.
Last year on the palace grounds, three trees had to be cut down.
This little tree grew from the living roots of the larger tree and it made me so happy.
This year the young tree even has a few autumn leaves of its own to show off and down by the trunk God has even planted a lovely bouquet of wild flowers and placed them carefully upon a soft green mound of tiny leaves, to keep the little tree company.
