wp weekly photochallenge — containers This was the first that came to mind when I saw this week's challenge. An iPhone photo, this time.

oh, to be that young...

oh, to be that young…

Most of the time … I’d say 99% of the time … I’m happy with being the age I am. The one per cent, when I find myself wishing I was born much later, has to do with web/computer stuff. There are so many things I would have loved to learn … coding, most of all … creating WordPress themes and stuff like that. I know, I know … they tell me it’s never too late to learn, but c’mon … I’m getting close to…

We have Gerry’s son visiting here, from Quebec. The other day, we were in the uptown area, walking from one of the shopping centres, Market Square, up to the old City Market. This involved walking across St. Patrick Street in a, what they call, pedway, which is glassed in.

I decided to take a shot with my iPhone through the glass, while we were on the pedway.

Didn’t come out all that bad, the day…

Yesterday, they [WordPress] released two, new themes … two free themes, actually. Not too many of my readers are interested in this stuff, but I know few are.

When there are new releases, I always try them out, if for nothing else, to see what they’ve come up with. It’s almost like fashion … there are trends! For example, to put the menu/navigation underneath…

Tonight, while scrolling through my stream in Facebook, I laid eyes on an image that really spoke to me. It said:

Write … like no one’s reading!

That’s what I want to do, but not tonight because it’s very late, so I’ll save that for another post. Instead, I’ll just post a few photos of what hurricane Arthur did to Saint John. Oh, and by the way … it was fellow blogger C.B. Wentworth who posted that image.

on this day, one year ago

on this day, one year ago

Last year, on this date, my ex-SIL and I were sitting out on her balcony, playing word games on our iPhones and smoking. It was a beautiful summer evening. All of a sudden, one of those breaking-news-things popped up on my phone from CNN. I don’t think I would have looked all that closely on it, had I not recognized the name of the town: Lac-Megantic! I’ve never been there, but after all, I did…

no photo challenge ~ happy 4th of july

no photo challenge ~ happy 4th of july

There’s no WordPress weekly photo challenge to be found, at this time, so I can only assume they’re out celebrating the 4th of July or something. This might actually be a good thing, as it makes me write something instead of just posting a photo, which has been the case here lately.

Weather-wise, I’ve been so lucky I have no words! The whole province has suffered under a terrible heat wave, this…

WP weekly photo challenge — Contrasts II We were out today, in the lovely summer weather, and a great deal of photos were shot.

WP weekly photo challenge ~ between For this «between» challenge, I've chosen this from Ale's Stones, Kåseberga, Sweden. I shot it during my first visit home after eight years, and it certainly felt as if I was in between ...

Raccoon Hollow

Those of you who have followed this blog for some time, might remember that I have a real thing for raccoons. We don’t have them in Sweden, so my first encounter was in Quebec. He looked in through the patio door … our eyes met … and it was Love!

Living in apartment here, of course I miss the backyard wildlife and the raccoons in particular. I know, I know … they’re considered pest, but that’s…

Two posts in the same day!

Went out to look for ducklings, and found the little family right away. Today, they were up on the grass. As soon as I neared, Mother Duck skillfully hoarded the little ones, and somehow hid them underneath some grass. See all the little eyes there, behind her?! :)

This, I believe, is some wild rhododendron — not fully out yet. I just love the intricate beauty of…

was it something I said?

was it something I said?

This blog of mine has been around for a few years now. It’s made quite a few moves, but oddly enough, I’ve managed to keep my blogging buddies. For that, I’m very thankful. When you blog like this, you get to know your fellow bloggers a little bit, as you well know.

This is a difficult subject and I’m not even a hundred per cent certain it’s even an issue. However, I have very sensitive antennae,…

points http://wp.me/s49mjc-points

Five, six months ago, the grocery store we frequent the most, introduced a points system. Got a plastic card and downloaded the app to the iPhone. The first, few weeks, it wasn’t too exciting. You get new ‘offers’ every Thursday, loaded in the app, and after about a month it had pretty much the hang of what we liked to buy.

So … the first times this happened, it was kind of fun! «Oh, look! There…
