#FrameItFriday (week 4 season 5)

#FrameItFriday (week 4 season 5) Other than standing in the middle of a snowy backroad looking up at AND conversing with a Ruffed Grouse perched on the tippy top of a tall bare tree, there's not much to report this week. Oh, I did drive all the way to Kingston to get me eyes checked out post surgery, two thumbs up! So I can't blame my eyes for any blurry shots anymore. I forgot, I also drove in reverse back out this super long dead end road because there was no place to turn

#FrameItFriday (week 3 season 5) "You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach You'll never drill for oil on a city street I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks But there ain't no Coup de Ville hiding at the bottom Of a Cracker Jack box" Two Out of Three Ain't Bad Sung by Meat Loaf Written by Jim Steinman I wanted to pay tribute to the man who's songs we would dance to in high school, you know, the "last slow songs of the night" kind of tunes. Thank you Meat

#FrameItFriday (week 2 season 5)

#FrameItFriday (week 2 season 5) Bet you didn't know I have been homeschooled. Yep, this past week life has been teaching me lots, LOTS. Firstly, my biggest problem last Friday morning was a plugged kitchen drain (#ScottTrotterPlumbing for the save). It was a relief to get that sorted but that was just a pinch to my butt in comparison to what happened around 3:30pm on that very same day. The farmhouse across the road caught fire and burned to the ground (even last night it st

#FrameItFriday (week 1 season 5) Well hello there and welcome to the first blog of season 5 where I continue to blather about stuff and nonsense sometimes photography related, sometimes not or sometimes all of the above. New year, new ideas and half-baked plans run amuck in my brain as we resume our trail walks for inspiration, mental and physical health benefits. We're checking out the trails we went to last Spring to see what they look like with a fresh white coating of sno

#FrameItFriday (last day of 2021)

#FrameItFriday (last day of 2021) Well, I guess if you're reading this you survived 2021 much like myself and by the dirt on my knees I'm crawling out of it. Just a tip, wear the strap on the Crampons too otherwise you'll end up face planting (not once, but twice when one cleat tries to hook up with the other) So, how are you going to be greeting 2022? Like the meme that's flying around about "in your pjs with your cat watching tv" or something like that? Apparently we're

#FrameItFriday (week 52 season 4)

#FrameItFriday (week 52 season 4) Our household went and got 3rd booster shots this morning so pardon my tardiness. I struggle today with my blog and not to be a Debbie Downer but for the 2nd year we are under restrictions for gatherings, it's tricky to write about rainbows and butterflies (for me at least). It is what it is though and we are all in this together. Last minute plans squashed as we scramble to re-group and come to terms with what we can and cannot do to avoid t

#FrameItFriday (week 51 season 4) It sure was exciting to be able to stop by Community Care For Central Hastings and Community Care Treasures and hand over $500 from the sale of my 4th annual calendar for 2022! We even got a tour (from the doorways and yes we masked up for that) of their on-site kitchen facilities that pumps out 1,000 of delicious meals for their clients. The territory covered by over 400 volunteers runs as far north as Maynooth to Prince Edward County in the

#FrameItFriday (week 50 season 4) Who's this cutie? Why it's no other than Gloria who hails from northern Ontario and is cute as a button and 88 years young. If I'm correct, this is the 4th year she's received one of my calendars. She looks forward to seeing what's in them every year and loves displaying it in her home. I get excited when she orders because that means she sends me a Christmas card. I love getting her Christmas cards and reading her lovely notes, they make my

#FrameItFriday (week 48 season 4) I’m squeezing that tiny bit of fall out still. I couldn’t think of a better tree to squeeze out but a red maple. How Canadian eh? So quick one today. My car is being fixed under a recall and I’ve got a nice rental. I’m so lucky. Tomorrow I celebrate 10 years of #ChickPicotheDay, 3,650 days in a row all through Covid, losses, weddings, babies, concerts, wildlife, kayaking, blown car engine. Etc etc. mostly it’s the people I’ve met. All of yo

#FrameItFriday (week 47 season 4) This has been the longest time my car and I have been apart. I miss it. It has been sitting at the dealership in Belleville for a week now, awaiting it's fate. My little necklace with my mum's ashes in it dangling alongside my teensy dreamcatcher and my expired Algonquin Park passes from my rearview mirror. My guardian angel that I glued to the dash is doing her best to keep ANRA company. Uber is "not a thing" where we live but lucky for me,

#FrameItFriday (week 46 season 4)

#FrameItFriday (week 46 season 4) So far I've been out shooting one day this week, ONE. The weather has been crap and the cherry on top is my car broke down yesterday.(after all that bragging I did about it last week) I've no clue what the diagnosis is but it's not sounding very positive. Just curious, if you all were me, in the event my car needs "to be put down", what kind of ride should I get? If you say "army tank" I'll box yer ears lol. You know, we kayak, we backroad,

#FrameItFriday (week 45 season 4) Ok, which one of you turned off the furnace? Brrrrr and we've only just begun with this whole "winter is coming" thing. I feel like I'm in Game of Thrones. Bitch, whine, moan, groan. Throughout the past year you've seen video of my shoes, my sandals, my boots so I figured I'd show you my 4 wheeled mode of transportation. "Anra" also known as the "Creak Mobile" gets me down the road to all the cool places I've seen. This year it got new tires

#FrameItFriday (week 44 season 4) Time she be whipping by like a freight train and just like that....we're almost done with October. Well almost done as far as what the calendar says but the fall photos? I'm still sorting through them and plan on posting them through November like I previously warned you about so buckle up. Let's talk business for a sec can we? See the pretty calendar in the photo? That's my 2021 calendar and for those folks that purchased one last year get

#FrameItFriday (week 43 season 4) You've been asking, I've finally ceased procrastinating and put together my 4th annual calendar!!!! It's currently at the printers getting the artwork sorted and after my approval BAM, it goes to print! So, for all my regulars who've been patiently waiting at the sidelines, time to place your orders while supplies last. This is pretty much my only source of income for the year since no companies will SPONSOR me. (I know, pathetic right?) We'

#FrameItFriday (week 42 season 4) Check out Trevor (that's what I'm calling him) a young calf I met down one of the coolest dead end roads I've ever been along. He'd just finished up a feeding courtesy of his mum. His nursing skills are horrible, lacking patience and if I were his mum he'd get a smack on his behind for his tug o'war technique. Isn't he something? Do you ever look at animal photos and think "if this cow were human his name would be________". Trevor reminds me

#FrameItFriday (week 41 season 4) It finally happened, a road trip, a legit one AND I had company, really swell company along with me on the adventure. With a destination in mind (Almonte, Ontario) all 3 of us piled into the car and hopped on the most roller coaster route we could find. It definitely did not disappoint. The weather held up quite stellar as well, that always helps. There were many, many stops along the way, throw on the 4ways and pull off safely to the side of

#FrameItFriday (Week 40 season 4) Ahhhhh Fall, October 1st, autumn, leaves, changing colours, halloween, painting. Painting, yes as I type this from the middle of my kitchen surrounded by all things paint and not the artist framed works you hang on the wall, the stuff you brush on your walls, your baseboards, and your ceiling (and your clothes, hair and skin if you paint like me) Well, 95% of the painting is not by me, it's mostly done by the house painter aka my husband.

#FrameItFriday (week 39 season 4) It’s a shortish one today. I’m on a double vaxed getaway in search for leaves but mostly playing euchre and eating WAY too much junk food. I brought my camera gear but mostly using my phone to capture odds and sods that most likely won’t get published. You know NSFW stuff or perhaps TMI lol. Nothing illegal I can assure you. It was time for a getaway in the beautiful #haliburtonhighlands sorry for torturing you with the bird fishing sequence

#FrameItFriday (week 38 season 4) We took advantage of the great weather yesterday and ventured out for a paddle along the Moira River yesterday. "Apparently" according the weather folks, the next few days are going to be stellar for sunshine and heat. In Ontario that is, I'm not sure about elsewhere. I sure hope they're correct because I want to get back out there again. We went from our place downstream to the first bridge (which means absolutely nothing to you unless you k
