Looking In
I had a hard time with this one. It has been rainy and cold – too difficult to get out to take pictures. All of my archived pictures of people by themselves, the people are smiling. I think of solitude as loneliness even though it can be defined as being alone.
The above picture is at the back of our house where we have cellar doors. I was in the basement and my dog won’t go down the stairs (they are a bit funky, can’t say as I blame him.) He is alone but doesn’t want to be.

Gardening brings me joy.
The above garden was part of one I designed and planted. I started with a concrete patio covered with green indoor/outdoor carpeting. Quite a transformation 😀
My Schnoodle
My other “bliss” is found with my dog. I especially like when he is relaxed and/or cuddly.
I couldn’t pick so I posted them both.

Looking from the bay toward Lake Ontario
This is the bay from the other direction. Lake Ontario is at my back.
I have always felt very fortunate to live near such a large body of water. There are several piers near me and it has always been a favorite activity to walk on the pier. One of the piers is shown on the left in the first picture. I always find some peace when I’m near water no matter what is going on in my life.
Erie Canal
A completely different type of water. The historical Erie Canal.

Small town street
This photo is from many years ago but I’m sorry I can’t say exactly when it was taken. The side street was a dirt road.

The home I lived in when I was young.
My father built the house. He kept adding onto it until it had six bedrooms I believe. This is an old picture as I just found out about Photo 101 today.

Lift Bridge
I wanted to try Sepia in this challenge. It was very interesting the different looks I was able to create. Thanks for the tips Cee.

Seagulls in a parking lot
My attempt at a B&W photography.
I felt very lucky to capture the shadow of one of the gulls flying. These birds were NOT happy that I was in “their” parking lot.

Scarlet
The scarlet lights under the bridge caught my eye when I went to photograph the scarlet burning bush.

Tree in front yard late October.
Tree in side yard.
Tree in back yard.
Potted geranium and vinca.
I live very near Lake Ontario and it has a warming effect in the fall. It also has a cooling effect in the spring 😦
I bought a Nikon Coolpix on Amazon in an attempt to motivate me to leave the house more often 🙂
