Saturday Self-challenge: Collections or hobbies. My wife spent her spring break to indulge her creative side.
Where are my Ears?

This hare was giving me some poses recently. He was shy about showing his ears.

Saturday Self-challege. Indoor still life.
We look at the cleaning supplies differently these days. From prioritizing a presentable home to now, where it is a matter of life and death.

There is still a lot of snow here. These fellows are starting to change colours. The snow better leave soon so they are not exposed. First day of Spring.

Saturday Self-challenge: Architecture
PIP is a more interesting building in our city. It is a swimming pool.
I found a great place to socially distance myself this morning. The low sun was casting long shadows. Here is a condominium in my neighbourhood. We live in the suburbs and everything looks like this.
It is the second day of Spring and it was -11C and felt like -18C. It will warm up to just over 0 today.

Saturday Self-challenge: Make something look surreal.
See note for what I used as a backdrop. The snowbank was created this week by a snow removal machine that was clearing the cul-de-sac by our house.
The figure is from Georges Seurat's "Sunday Afternoon on the Island of Grand Jatte."
Mont Cul-de-sac

|
Snow clearing equipment came through this week to clear our cul-de-sac of snow. A few days ago this was much larger but the warmer temperatures shrunk it a bit.

House Finch and Sparrow.
I don't have the clarity I would prefer but I was taking the photo through my house window. Cropped.

Saturday Self-challenge: Stairs.
Our patio stairs on a snowy day. I used an in-camera art filter and then processed a little in Lightroom.

My wife leaves out some treats for the hares in our neighborhood, especially during brutally cold weather.
Old Bowling Shoes

|
|
I have kept these old bowling shoes for about 47 years. I outgrew them many, many, years ago. They are a reminder of having fun and competing during my youth.

A Bakery Window in Obidos

It was raining so we took shelter in a bakery and coffee shop in Obidos, Portugal. Here is a scene that delighted us while we waited for the sun to return.

My friends who are into astronomy were going crazy for this event. I had a good view from my bedroom so I grabbed it while I could.

Saturday Self-challenge: Anything that has been rendered obsolete but still being used every day by people everywhere.
I went for more obsolete but I would still use this connector to the antennae of my old stereo that does not have a coaxial connector.
