The end of 2020 (by Janet)

I’ll drink to that! (says Mackenzie). I took this photo while we were out having lunch before our latest lockdown shut down all the restaurants - I thought it would be a good one for New Years Eve. Let’s all celebrate the end to this unforgettable year and hope for better times in 2021. 12/31/20

Our summer home (by Janet)

I sure do miss this place. These long cold winter evenings seem like the perfect time to revisit all the summer photos, so I am working my way through all the ones that didn't make the cut on the first go-round. 12/30/20

Gerbera Daisy (by Janet)

Gerberas are so showy and do tend to steal the show in a bouquet. They also require appreciation many times a day or they fade quickly, like most flowers I suppose. Many thanks for all your comments on my flower photos - to answer your questions: no, our polititians did not suddenly ‘find a heart’ and decide that flowers are indeed ‘essential’ (as of course, they are!). My bouquet came to me via the floral black market, and of course, I can say no more about that! Have a wonderful day my friends, and please do appreciate the freedom that you have to enjoy a bouquet of flowers in your home, you never know when you may loose it. 12/29/20

Double bloom (by Janet)

What a wonderful blessing! Flowers have found their way to my house for Christmas. I hope your Christmas was blessed as well... (This is a ‘sort of’ double exposure with the lensbaby.) 12/27/20 www.jmcqueenphoto.com

Merry Christmas Everyone! (- Janet)

To everyone who celebrates - Wiishing you a very Merry Christmas! I hope you are lucky enough to be able to share the day and the season with your family and loved ones. I probably won’t be around on Christmas Day, so sending out my wishes today instead. Have a wonderful weekend! 12/24/20 www.jmcqueenphoto.com

'Tis the season (by Janet)

Every year our neighbours create a wonderful display of Christmas lights and decorations in their front yard, and this year seemed better than ever. Every year, it seems I am more and more reluctant to venture out in the cold and the dark (for any reason) so I only manged a few shots, luckily I got a couple I liked…. 12/23/20 www.jmcqueenphoto.com

Strange skies (by Janet)

We had some very strange storms this summer. Some of them looked worse than they were...it seemed the storms with the most power snuck up on us and took us by surprise. Storm clouds like this one passed over quickly and disappeared. Thank goodness! 12/21/20 www.jmcqueenphoto.com

Another frosty leaf (by Janet)

There were so many frosty leaves and so - I took so very many photos! Thanks so much for your views and comments, I'm sorry I haven't been around much - partly due to a complete lack of inspiration and partly due to busyness. But - will be back soon at 100%.. :-)) 12/18/20

Deer path into the bush (by Janet)

Lots of deer paths leading into the bush, now if only I could find the deer! 12/15/20
