March 9 ~ Jams McGill & Friends, in Montreal

March 13~ Guest Photographer: Charles Austin

Charles writes, "This is indeed a real person that we came upon in Cholula, a town just outside of Puebla, Mexico.
The lady had just arrived and was setting up to have pictures of her taken by the public (for a price).

January 29~ A Saskatoon Sunset

My friend, Jenni, sent this photo from Saskatoon, taken last night. Spectacular! Thanks, Jenni.

Dec. 17 ~ London

 

In London, in December, they decorate with pretend snow, yet have real flowers in  hanging baskets!

In Ottawa, in December, we have real snow,

but we don't seem to bother with pretend flowers in hanging baskets!

Dec. 14 ~ London

This is one of my favourite night pictures from London ...

Trafalgar Square, Christmas Tree, double decker buses, the fountain and lights reflected on the water!

May 4: Memories from York

This young woman was a street busker, with tremendous talent.

I imagined that she was trying to pay her way through University.

I Like the way the light is just falling on her face.

May 3: Memories from York

This is a photo where there is only one chance to click.

The painter is oblivious to the ladies, and they are oblivious to him.

In a few seconds after the photo, they became aware of him and made a fuss about avoiding him,

 and the moment was gone.

Jan. 5; Purple Man

We came across Purple Man, a busker, in York, England this summer.

Although he was a 'statue' he did move in slow motion and interacted quietly with his admirers.

I marvelled at his creativity and at the whimsy and humour of his character!

His delightful entertainment made my day!
