Noticed leaf imprints on the sidewalk during my morning walk. (It’s a leaf from a basswood tree.  Also known as linden.)  The heart shape is what got me….also something so ephemeral cast in concrete.  Lucy Gayheart all over again….

I’m turning into Morticia Addams: I would rather photograph the drying seed head than the colourful bloom….

Caught this wild boar lurking in our front garden. It would appear that camouflaging itself like the paving stone turned out to be an unsuccessful strategy….

My new haircut and colour.  I finally got to use the clippers I bought about a year ago….fun!

The necklace I made today with the agate I purchased from the Big Nickel Gift Shop at Dynamic Earth in Sudbury. It was originally on a keychain but I had a different purpose in mind for this delicate teardrop of turquoise chalcedony, which is defined by the Free Dictionary as:

A type of quartz that has a waxy luster and varies from transparent to translucent. It is usually white, pale-blue, gray, brown, or black and is often found as a lining in cavities. Agate, flint, and onyx are forms of chalcedony.

Pics from our last walk along the shore of Lake Nipissing.  We were sad to brush the sand from our feet and walk away….

St. Joseph-Scollard Hall High School in North Bay; it now houses the school board’s administration offices.

Funky house on the shore of Lake Nipissing.  The tipsy masonry and psychedelic garage door must draw a smile from passersby…

Pic from our afternoon hike to Duchesnay (pronounced doo-SHAY-knee) Falls.  It has dried up somewhat but still cascades with energy.
