Corn Flower

… ” at my door the leaves are falling …

Heading into the long, cold, dark months of winter. Gotta find a gig somewhere sunny & warm.

Leaf

This is Ottawa’s new urban planning map for Osgoode South.
Well, I borrowed the idea from Douglas, who did a much better job.

Day 330 of 365

web

This little fellow (still haven’s found him) came in with the house plants when first frost threatened. The web is getting thicker – guess there’s less prey inside.

Day 324 of 365

Toad

A walk in the park – actually an NCC trail. This little fella was hiding under some leaves & was almost stepped on.

Day 310 of 365

Mushrooms

Trimming dead branches & these mushrooms appeared on last year’s left over logs.

Day 300 of 365

Product shot

Friday the 13th. Stayed home & avoided the devil. Practicing product shots. This is what happens to nail polish after several years.

Day 297 of 365

Smoke

No self respecting set of images is complete without a puff of smoke.
Snooted flash, high beam flashlight, silver reflector, ISO 6400, f8, 1/250.
4 incense sticks stuck in a potato for stability, shoot until the rain forced me inside.
Add a bit of luck & the stew is done.

Day 293 of 365

Look thru

As a reward for sticking it out in the federal public service for 30 years, one gets to choose their own gift. As retirement loomed near, I decided against a watch & opted for something more practical.
