22 Foggy Friday

Rain & Fog

Friday was a rainy day. It rained all day. It was a day filled with moisture and muted light. I don’t mind the rain; in fact I love the rain. What I take issue with is the fog, the condensation in the atmosphere that made it challenging me to see clearly where I was going. It became more difficult to see that few yards it took me to walk to my home.

Here is a visual…..of my Foggy Friday

16 Experimenting With Night Photography

So I am experimenting with night photography, playing around with my camera samsung compact W700. Discovery - flash isn't always a good option. After attempting a few shots with I discovered that the photographs were better without, it was a matter of composing the frames I wanted. I had my tripod and took these photos. Taken between 8:45 - 10:40 pm.

10 Saying it Visually

Yesterday proved to be an interesting day picturesquetically, is that a word? oh well is now. Any who, here are some of my visuals.

 PERMANENT PANTYHOSE.

This is my pic for photo of the day. Summer is here and the close evaporates. This photograph began my day, I call it permanent pantyhose as the woman has the styling rendition of a pantyhose tattooed the back of her legs.

 

 

 

A HELPING HAND – WALKING THE TALK

While waiting for the streetcar on Spadina and College I saw this group of people walking along Spadina with bags of drinks and snacks they were handing out to the homeless-yesterday was a smoldering hot, humid day.

Trinity Saint Paul's United Church of Canada 

I decided to stop by the grocery store – METRO and stopped to take a photo of Trinity Saint Paul's United Church of Canada located at Bloor and Walmer Road. This church is has a multi-diverse congregation that includes not only people of all ethnicities but also of sexual orientation (lesbian/gay/bi-sexual/ transgendered/queer ).

HOLLEY HOLE

Really?  Obviously by her posture she couldn’t feel the hole in her crotch area. I don’t know how though since its large enough to drive a train through. Ah mean dang!!!! lady close your legs already.  I know am bad right, but hey am not the one sitting with my legs spread eagle.

 

WEAVE NEST MESS

Lets take a moment here and learn from this hair weave fore par. Lesson,   when your weave begins to look like a badgers nests it is time to take it out! No, adding a hat, a cap no less as a solution, does not bloody work! I wish I had remember to keep my camera in my hand to capture the true rattiness in the back of this crap nest.

8 Cloudy Evening Stroll & Visiting A Sick Friend

Today was a cloudy day. I went for a walk and ended up at Walmart, there I indulged in my guilty pleasure of gadgets exploring, more specifically cameras. Since someone absconded with my compact digital my everyday sidekick I wanted to replace it with another. I opted to stay within a moderate range, nothing over $140. I found just the thing although it wasn’t what I truly wanted (its not in stores yet) this will do in a pinch. My larger DSLR camera I leave for when I am going to big events etc. Testing out my new trusty sidekick I took some photos of the day. (Just click on pics to make larger)

VISITING A SICK FRIEND

On mother’s Sunday May 8th we all celebrated at my sister’s house, one of our close family friend who enjoy the festivities with us suffered a stroke the very next day, Monday May 9th, she has been in hospital ever since. My sister called and said she was going to visit along with my mother, her sister and another friend so I joined the group. We could only see her two at a time, so some left while some stayed. She is doing a lot better now, she is able to speak and move the left side of her body however the right side is still numb. She is still in a state of disbelieve that she had a stroke because she didn’t have any signs. I offer words of encouragement and advise to keep a positive attitude through the struggle. She is worried about the immobility of her right side and wonders out loud what will happen, what will be the permanent state of her physical outcome if any.

In such a situation its hard to say the appropriate thing. It is not hard to be empathetic because one is confronted with the reality of our own mortality. We just never know what will happen, when it will happen, how and to what degree and then how it will impact us physically, emotionally, psychologically, financially, spiritually and how it will transform us from that point on. We learn quickly not to take things for granted and things once deem important become insignificant. Her experience had us all thinking about ourselves, the ways in which we neglect our selves, not take good enough care and at times become nonchalant about keeping up with medications, doctors visits and managing the stresses in our lives. It was a sobering moment. We all left wishing her well with a promise to return.

Please say a pray for her speedy and full recovery and that her spirit not be broken by the experience and challenges to come.

A NOTE TO MY FRIENDS

Please take care of yourself, give equal time to self-care as you do to everything else in your life. You are just as important as all the things that demands your time, energy and focus.
