It’s been a fun and eventful week for me – which is fantastic! – but as you might guess, a rather packed schedule means that I don’t have a whole lot to report in the tangling department (at least not enough to justify a proper Tangled Tuesday post [continue reading…]
First thing this morning Peter and I, along with a friend and a busload of other ready-for-fun Windsorites, hopped on a shuttle bus and headed stateside to spend the day at the Toledo Zoo. I had an absolutely wonderful time – but after an early morning, lots of [continue reading…]
The city of Windsor is blessed with a gorgeous stretch of accessible riverfront greenspace, and the fact that Peter and I live just over a block away from this wonderful resource is high up on my gratitude list. This past Friday we spent part of a relaxing evening in [continue reading…]
Can you believe that we’re midway through May?! It feels like only yesterday that I was sharing my month of April photos for the Fat Mum Slim Photo A Day Challenge, yet already I’ve amassed another couple of weeks’ worth of new ones. Time flies when [continue reading…]
Much as I wish I could share a gorgeous close-up water photo for today’s Photo Friday “Reflections” challenge prompt, I’m afraid such pictures are few and far between in my archives. I’m probably a little too paranoid about dropping my iPhone [continue reading…]
Today’s post is in the form of a question from me to you. Whether this is your first time visiting Alphabet Salad (welcome!), or maybe you stop by every now and then (and I’m glad you do!), or perhaps you’re someone who never misses a post [continue reading…]
I don’t know about you, but I’m COLD today… and when I look out the window I see some rather blustery, gloomy May weather with grey skies and all the trees and bushes tossing in the wind (which doesn’t exactly help!). So with that in mind, I thought it was [continue reading…]
This was a rather crazy week, and it’s pretty much all been cat-related. Between vet visits and medical treatment for Felix and Oscar, socializing new kittens (yes, plural… more on that another day!), stocking up on pet food and supplies, and cleaning up [continue reading…]
Of all of the olloclip lenses I use with my iPhone, I think I’ve had the most fun with the macro lens. There’s something just so fascinating and fun about being able to get up close to ordinary objects and capture them in a way that’s a little different and [continue reading…]
This is one of those days where I seriously wish someone had invented a reliable, free (or cheap!), easily-accessible teleportation device already… because if they had, I would be able to whisk myself back to Victoria to celebrate Mother’s Day with [continue reading…]
Henceforth I will look upon all things with love and I will be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it [continue reading…]
There are a few photos I could have chosen for today’s Photo Friday “Detail” challenge prompt, but in the end I decided to go with one of a dusty, dilapidated picture frame that was left behind in our garage when the previous owners moved out. [continue reading…]
Plenty of articles have been written about the importance of using photographs in your blog posts to add visual interest and break up large blocks of text. Some discuss where to source images and provide guidelines on appropriate use and copyright restrictions. [continue reading…]
Whew! After spending ALL of my blogging time over the past few days catching up on sharing my regular features after the very busy month of April, this is the first chance I’ve had to sit down and do a bit of reflection on my participation in the [continue reading…]
Can you believe that it’s been over a month since my last Tangled Tuesday post?! April with its many fun challenges was a huge flurry of activity, but even amidst all my photography and blogging and NaPoWriMo poetry-writing efforts I still [continue reading…]
I mentioned on Friday that this month’s NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) “Photo” theme includes daily inspirational photo prompts. Fun, huh? Always up for a new creative challenge, I thought I’d jump on board and take a shot at doing [continue reading…]
You know, it’s not at all difficult to feel several surges of gratitude on a beautiful, warm, peaceful day filled with sunshine and the sounds of birdsong – a day just like today, in fact. Funny how that works, isn’t it?! Welcome to a fresh new month of gratitude! [continue reading…]
