a NEW thought Thursday
Happy Thursday!
I used to think photography in November-January was just plain boring because of the lack of color in the world. But I recently decided to play around more with Black/White photography and it’s amazing what a difference it makes.
I still have a few hydrangea blooms hanging on. I love them in B/W because I totally notice the detail in each little leaf a lot more.
And even my poinsettia, left over from a holiday party, is more interesting to look at when it isn’t overpowered by vibrant red. But, just so I can enter Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge, which is the color red, I’ll include the original shot:
A different perspective is always welcome in my world. Sometimes it can even be captivating. (See how I slipped the JusJoJan24 prompt in there :o)
Have a terrific day and I hope you do or learn something NEW!

a NEW photo challenge {urban}
Happy Sunday! I came across a photo challenge with the theme “urban” over at “A Day in the Life” blog, but I’m not sure who started the challenge (???). But I thought I had a good one to play along with….this photo was taken in downtown Toronto last month. Toronto is such a huge city! But, these planters were a bright spot amongst the concrete, noise, and hustle and bustle! Note to self: make a trellis of pussy willows next spring! So pretty!
Have a great day! Do or learn something NEW!
a NEW photo of the week
Happy Friday! Spring is here! I finally went out shooting and got some NEW photos. I think this one will be my computer’s wallpaper for a while. Gorgeous colors, warm weather, life is good! Have a great day. Do or learn something NEW!
a NEW addition to my garden
Happy Friday!
So, where do you put your small garden tools? I made this handy-dandy mosaic mailbox for my garden to hold my gloves, spade, garden snipers and even a little notebook where I tape all the plant tags – you know, the instruction-thingy that tells you how to care for the plant? I put that in a plastic bag with tape, pencil and reading glasses. I’m all set in my garden! I LOVE it!
Can you tell I spelled out GROW with the broken up tiles? On the other side I spelled out BLOOM. My hubby earned his way through college doing tile work, so now even though he’s a finance guy, we never pay anyone to do any tile work at our house – and that means I have plenty more tile scraps to do more projects. This was my very first mosaic attempt and now I plan to make some garden stepping stones etc.
Here’s the front view:
Isn’t it amazing what a boost something NEW and different brings to life?!?
Have a great day! Let me know know what’s NEW with YOU!

a NEW thought Thursday
Happy Thursday! I love this quote because it is so true. I know some people who are just naturally considerate. They notice things about people. They naturally go out of their way to be considerate and kind. I want to be more like them! Sadly, I tend to live in my small, busy little world and go about my own business. I wish I had the natural talent of being a noticer…a thoughtful observer…a naturally considerate human being. Although it doesn’t come naturally, I’m going to work at being such a person. Perhaps eventually it may become second nature!
Have a great day! Go and notice something or someone NEW!

a NEW photo of my week
Happy Friday! When I saw that Cee’s Flower of the Day was Blackeyed Susans, I quickly grabbed this photo to share. One of my sisters that went to Victoria with us last week is named Susan. My mother says she named her that because Susan had such black eyes when she was a baby.
Anyway, I’ll link up to Cee’s page. Enjoy your day – and do or learn something NEW!
