I have been knitting with an passion. So – it is truly my frame of mind. Loki’s frame of mind is in her stomach – truly she is not impressed with knitting.

Weekly Photo Challenge; Seasons
Laying in the sun – a treat for old dogs. She is happy that the season is changing and getting warmer.
The changing of the season means I will have to wait to wear the grey sweater. The kitting on the white ball is my attempt at a hood with no point. When I succeed I will share it here.
weekly photo challenge: art
Recycled manhole covers for some abstract art on the old city street.
Eons ago this used to be very busy bus stop and the city tore is up as it brought unfavorable attention or some such thing.. For the life of me I don’t want to understand that sitting below the great columns upon the high ledge was such a big deal – it was a great vantage point for many thing especially finding our bus in a busy crowd!. 
Some of the walkway in front of the bank was granite so the city put the stone aside, powder coated the old man holes and with some creative 
arrangement came up 
with art that is recycled and usable. 
The Walk
Yesterday I went for a walk with Loki. I have been depressed of late and walking is my best medicine. It is even more helpful when the sun is shining. 
These are just a few shots as I always take the camera. It helps to get my mind to refocus on what is beautiful in our world.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Inside the Victoria Chalk Festival
Weekly Photo Challenge: Inside the Victoria Chalk Festival
This last weekend we attended the yearly Chalk festival in Victoria BC, It is all about street chalk drawing. Each artist was given a square to do. 
Children were given small square to entice the artist flair.
There was a stage in Centennial Square with traditional native song, drumming and dance. They were fantastic. This was a youth group from the north Island and it was there first performance in public. They did very well. I love the traditional dress.
These lovely woman sang traditional plains Indian songs and they were stunning from the traditional clothing to their collective voices.

This morning I rose early to find a beautiful day!
I woke the dog, grabbed the camera and headed for the Gorge waterway.
The Gorge is a salt water waterway that runs though the city. This day the water was mirror like in it’s calmness and a stunning opportunity for photograph’s.
