A 100 year old machine. A series of brass trays are spread out in front of a revolving column and needles slide down chutes that sort them by lenght.

Les Aiguilles de l’Atelier Bohin near L’Aigle in Normandie.

Yellow apples hang in the bare branches of a wild tree in late autumn. The apple tree is in the middle of a group of straggly trees and all are bare of leaves. A blue sky is visible through and above the trees.

#Alphabetchallenge #WeekUForUnloved

Wild apples left unpicked.

Thank you!

Thank you! No filters, just nature being fabulous. Taken with my iphone from the car as my husband drove.

Thank you!

Thank you!

A bright orange sky at sunset is reflecting on a river. The coastline is dark but the tops of trees form a jagged skyline. Cocagne tiver, NB Canada

#WeekTforTelevision

The Twilight Zone.

Occasional reminder that the Vimy Ridge Memorial is literally sat on Canadian soil. The French made an official state gift of it on an anniversary a while back.

Which means Canada can not only join Eurovision, but technically qualifies for EU membership.

Cement steps with metal railings. The sun is shining through the railings to make z shaped patterns on the stairs. The wall behind the stairway is red sandstone.

#WeekSforShadows

Sun on cement…looking for beauty in unexpected places.

Two men are looking at the round smooth stones that make up the beach. In the distance there the ocean and a cliff and the sun setting over the ocean. Etretat, northern France.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekRforRock

Stone (shingle) beach in Etretat.

In the foreground there is a sandy beach riddled with intricate patterns from the current. At the top of the photo is a walking bridge and a clear light blue sky. The photo was taken at Kouchibouguac national park in eastern Canada.

Low tide at the beach.

Hubby suggests “Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf” lol

I can’t think of a single film or tv series that showed university (from a faculty member’s perspective) accurately. Can you?

A long pathway in the woods. The path is covered in red leaves and the sun is peaking through the trees. At the very end of the trail a square of light appears.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekQforQuiet

When the municipal park is quiet on a weekday morning.

The Fairview, Vimy and Centennial Arena combination could be any city in Canada! Where are you? 🙂

A man wearing a black beret is sitting on a folding stool against a mural. He has an accordion on his lap and a black cat on his shoulder. On his right he has a cart with a bag printed with a chat noir poster.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekNforNights

I was playing with the night mode on my camera and managed to get stars and moonlit Autumn leaves at midnight.

Fireworks over Richibuctou bay.

Bienvenue en Acadie.

Thank you for sharing this. Beautiful!

Why isn't the Canadian gov't thinking out of the box? Why aren't we following the example of other countries who have already adapted their postal services?

When those improved models are there and serving a broader purpose, it makes no sense to let ours become less rather than more functional.

Stone ruins of a large roman amphitheater with two people walking through the entrance in the distance, each holding umbrellas. The stones are a rich creamy yellow colour against a backdrop of green trees and grass.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekMforMemories

I’m struggling with this one: all my photos are memories!
This is a vestigial memory of Roman occupation in France.

My husband’s parents met there when they returned from WWII. He worked at the newspaper stand and she worked at the hat shop. So glad they saved the tile work for the newsstand when they renovated.

These can be useful in the wallet of a person living with dementia. Their caregivers can find them easily if they get lost or disoriented.

A close up of a stained glass window. The image is a pattern of intersecting gold coloured circles in a grid of black divisions between the panes. From cathedrale St Louis in La Rochelle, France

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekLforLines

Lines and circles and half circles in La Rochelle church window.

#Alphabetchallenge #WeekJForKaraoke

I would walk 500 miles (but not on coblestones)

Two ancient stone walls are on either side of black stairs. A man is seen from the back at the bottom of the stairs. Photo taken at William the Conqueror’s castle in Falaise, Normandie.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekJforJetBlack

Black stairs descending into the literal dungeon.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekIforIconic

On Prince Edward Island (east coast of Canada), lighthouses are definitely iconic.

Aman and a cat, both wearing red santa hats.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekHforHat

Going back to Christmas for my favorite hat photo.
