Nov. 20 ~ Hibiscus

This hibiscus plant was outdoors all summer, and did not bloom once!

I guess it was saving up to bring us winter joy,

because it is now blooming on our kitchen window ledge!

More than blooming, actually. This morning it was basking in the sunshine.

Nov. 19 ~ Around the Block

Today my Camera Club met with Jo-Ann Holden.

She shared her Talent, Time and Expertise with us.

We all took a walk around the block to see what subjects we could find to practice 'shooting'.

Thanks, Jo-Ann!!!

Nov.. 18 ~ Grannies Bake Sale

On Nov.17, my Grannies Group, the Ammas for Grammas, had a bake sale.

We raised funds for Grandmothers in Africa who are supporting their orphaned grandchildren. Thanks to all the Ammas for donating time, energy and talent!

Janet, Anne S., Anne P., Judy, and Joan.

Nov. 17 ~ Green ...

On a grey day, the Gatineau Park is very monochromatic ...

white snow, brown trees and grey skies.

Somehow, the ferns have kept their green colour,

and provide lovely splatters of colour on the landscape!

Nov. 16 ~ The Friday Hikers

 

Most Fridays in the fall, the Friday Hikers get together in Gatineau Park,

 to hike and chat for the morning.

We have been doing this for about five years, enjoying the fun and exercise.

L-R: Peg, Tanya, Anne, Frances, Anka, Cheryl, Judy, Bev.

Keogan Hut is in the background.

Nov. 15 - Icy Stream

 

Cold nights are starting to produce frozen waterfalls.

Nov. 13 ~ The Wednesday Hikers

 

Yesterday's Wednesday Hikers were Peg, Rose Ann, Tanya and Judy.

Judy is the leader, with years worth of back-country trails stored in her inner map!
