I always find myself staring at this sign and asking myself "Why?"

Sometimes it's hard to explain what makes something picture-worthy. It just snags your eye/mind/memory/imagination I guess.

Black and white landscape, wild grapevine twisted around barbed wire fence in foreground, fields in the distance. Mundane but a piece of my memory.

Thanksgiving day in the garden this year was a treat for the eyes. ♥️

Storm's here. Those boats look so tiny against that sky.
#photography #LakeHuron #storm #Meaford #EastCoastKin
Big storm brewing over Meaford harbour, tiny specks of white on the water are fishing boats that really should be heading back to the shelter of the marina.

I'm capturing the moments that help get me through the winter. I'll be pulling these out mid January. 😏

Jackpot.

#photography #Ontario #farming #sunflowers #EastCoastKin
Huge sunflower field under a blue summer sky. And yes I was very careful to stand on the edge and not trample the crop like so many people seem to feel entitled to do these days.

Just got confused and educated at the same time.
ID of yellow crop. Rutabaga? Canola, rapeseed, oilseed, neep, colza, Swede, etc etc.

Sometimes I like to imagine how flowers look to an insect. Cathedrals of colour and texture. This is the entrance to a yellow bearded iris, dotted with raindrops.

Snow will be flying soon enough. Going to add some colour to my feed before that happens.

As my father used to say "That's what you get." (in this case, for playing with bulrushes)
