Making some changes to my Operating System and there are number of other things that have changed too. When I get them figured out, I ail be back.

Before I upgraded to this new Operating System, you Mac users out there will recognise it - Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard, I also managed to mess up my iPhotos and now am in the process of trying to find them again. If it isn't one thing, it is another. I am NOT having fun.

Happy Mothers' Day to all the Mothers out there.

I will be back soon. Things are looking up.

HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE.

Brantford in bloom.

This tree is across the street from my apartment on Wellington Street. You can just barely see my apartment building between the branches.

I got a really nice close up shot of the blossoms, but I do not know what kind of a tree it is.

Can anyone out in Flickr-land help me?

I am told by one of my Flickr-land friends it is a pear tree. Now we know.

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!

With our late Spring this year, I pulled this photo out of my archives.

It was taken last year and I just noticed it was taken 1 years today - April the 19th.

I just love this tree.

This beautiful covered bridge was taken in the Autumn of 2011.

This was taken from the west side of the bridge.

This is Ontario's last remaining covered bridge.

I think it is one of the most lovely covered bridges I have ever seen.

A Happy April Fool's Day Joke By The Weatherman

Yes It's Snow Folks

Well The Weatherman just had to play an April Fool's Day joke on us here in southern Ontario, Canada.

The winds are gusting from the west and we are getting spurts of snow blowing passed my balcony window.

Ha! Ha! To us!

Sunny again.

To get the full effect click on the photo.

Explore played an April Fool's Joke on most of us by saying all our photos had been Explored. Really I find it only a joke a child would play.

Jokes were played on YouTube, Goggle, Twitter and a plane from an Airline Company who claimed one of their planes had a glass floor.
Just a lot of nonsense. Besides the time period of April Fool's Day jokes are only to last until noon. Something Explore does not know apparently.

Indian Ink Drawing

Hi Folks,

I did this for grade 10 art class in 1961. Wow I just figured it out. That was 52 years ago. The drawing has held up very well and only has yellowed a bit along the right side.

I hope you like it.

Snowing Again! Will It Never Stop?

sweetshyjoan2 posted a photo:

This is what the weather was doing tonight at 7:20 PM, March 19, 2013 - SNOWING!

I looked out my balcony window, saw this, opened the balcony door and screen door and took the shot.

You can see the snow as it travels by me as I am taking the shot. It is coming from the West.

Will it never end? Spring is just around the corner, isn't it?

Click on the photo and you can see the snow passing by.

*********************************

GOOD MORNING FOLKS - IT IS 11 AM MARCH 21, 2013 AND IT IS SNOWING AGAIN FROM THE WEST. WHAT ELSE IS NEW? LOL

*********************************
****Although this was not in Explore, it should have been. I think it is one of my best Winter shots this year. Wake up Explore. You are missing so many other members shots too.

Do You See It Too?

To really see it properly, please click on the photo.

It is no trick, but can anyone tell how it was done?

I never noticed it until I downloaded the photo into my iPhotos on my computer.

It was another Snowy morning when I took this shot. It looks like fog, but it was taken during the snowstorm that hit us early that morning.
