“It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.”
- Henry David Thoreau -
Whenever I’m out and about, I often notice some interesting, unusual, fascinating and even amusing things that are fun to photograph. Like the ones below...
 |
| Is it tires over logs? Or logs through tires? Things that make me go hmmm... |
 |
| A striking mural of Sir John A. McDonald; the first Prime Minister of Canada. (Seen in downtown Napanee, Ontario) |
 |
| Oooh...a spy hole! Shall we take a peek? |
 |
| How come they don't stop and say hello? (Seen in Belleville, Ontario) |
 |
| "Super size me" flower pots in Ottawa, Ontario. |
 |
| The highly anticipated (and appetizing) sequel to 'Life of Pi'. (Spotted in Ottawa, Ontario) |
 |
| Two thumbs up for a bench that sits on logs. |
 |
| A sundial in the garden of Casa Loma in Toronto. Isn't this the coolest thing? |
Happy Thursday, blogging pals!
I love all of these fun and whimsical shots, Martha! And hey -- at Life of Pie, can you get a scoop of "tiger tiger" ice cream on your dessert?
ReplyDeleteI certainly hope so. Or else, what's the point of this? :)
DeleteWe didn't stop in, but maybe next time we're in Ottawa!
Interesting photos today Martha. I feel like visiting Ottawa...but that should be a summer visit, it gets cold there!
ReplyDeleteYes, most definitely visit when the weather is nice. Ottawa can get quite cold.
DeleteFine collection of photos for today. Spy hole is great, and love the giant concrete tulip in the pot. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThanks! This is one of my favourite types of photography...unusual sightings that make this hobby so much fun.
DeleteAll these photos made me smile!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad, Linda! That's a good thing :)
DeleteThe bench is also made of old packing crates. I saw a whole bunch of ideas last night on using them.
ReplyDeleteI love stuff like that. There are people who come up with the most interesting ideas.
DeleteI'm sure many people would walk by many of these and think them not worthy of a photo. Thanks for finding the hidden away things.
ReplyDeleteI always observe my surroundings. It's become second nature since I took a huge interest in photography.
DeleteWell Hello! I love this quirky post! The first picture is the most puzzling... why would someone do this?? Love the giant tulip and the sundial!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea why anyone would do that with the tires. It was quite an unusual sighting. Good for photography.
DeleteMust of been very creative people who made those
ReplyDeleteI certainly think so!
DeleteI enjoy your photos, Miss Martha. You done good.
ReplyDeleteWhy, thank you, Miss Wonder Woman :) That's mighty kind of you!
DeleteDo you like it better now that the two blogs are more combined?
DeleteMost definitely! I loved the photography blog, but I just can't keep up with the two. It's easier this way.
DeleteI want that "Super size me" flower pot! Gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteI know! It's spectacular.
DeleteYou have such an eye for the fresh and the unusual, Martha. Thanks for the smiles!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Francie. There certainly is no shortage of interesting things to see in this world!
DeleteThese were fun to see, Martha! You have an incredible eye, girl! I like what you see.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jim! Well, you certainly know how much fun photography can be.
DeleteThe mural is an impressive piece of artwork! Also, pretty neat idea for the bench!
ReplyDeleteThat mural was very impressive. I like stumbling across stuff like that.
Deletephenomenal all of them, they always are, I need a break from blogging,, I need to fix some things, I'll miss you very much keep on going girl
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your beak, Lorraine! I'll be here when you get back...
DeleteAlso I LOVE IT when you guys visit Ottawa, somehow the sun is always brighter, must be your smiles
DeleteYou're sweet, girl! We're always spontaneous with our road trips, but if I ever know in advance that we're visiting Ottawa, I'll let you know. And if you're up to it, we can meet for coffee.
