Sunset in Focus


No, this is not an in-focus sunset. It is a sunset reflected in my wife's Ford Focus. Walking past my front door, I chanced to see this fleeting moment, grabbed my Canon SD10 and here is the result. Please, share a photo or two with me. Send an attachment.
Cheers,

Green Feather Mask

Today's picture comes complete with an interesting story. Principal cello with Orchestra London, Christine Newland, used her Mac's built-in camera and iPhoto to create a picture of herself behind a Venetian-style green feather mask. She then took the image, quickly created a dry pastel sketch on black paper and, using her computer camera again, photographed her art.

Recently Newland has been rekindling her interest in the visual arts by doing quick sketches and e-mailing copies to her friends. If you're interested in having a work of art by Christine Newland, she does portraits of loved ones or pets for clients.

Coconut and Apple


Old Mac 128s were said to have been given second lives as fishtanks. How often this was actually done is a question. But in London, photographer Steve Martin has discovered a creative way of recycling an old Apple e-Mac. It is now a comfortable kitty hangout for his cat Coconut. Pretty cool, Steve.

Swans at Springbank Park in London


Taken with a miniature Canon SD10, this snap of swans at Springbark Park still works - just don't enlarge it too much. The cool weather, it may have hit only eight degrees Sunday, kept a lot of the Springbank Park strollers at home.

Today's Photo_Looking Ahead to Spring

It's spring in London and time to look ahead. The neat thing about this photo is that it was taken with a simple, little Canon SD10 - a fixed lens point and shoot.

Get out there and take a picture.

A Warped Look at London

Jeffrey Donado, 6, of London flashes a gappy grin as he poses with his brother, Brennan, 12, left, in the fun mirror at the Family Fun Fest, which wrapped up at the Western Fair Agriplex yesterday.

The London Free Press often carries fine, fun pictures. On seeing this morning's paper, I knew immediately what picture to feature.

Have a nice day!

St. Patrick's Day's Day in London


Maggie, a seven-year-old schnauzer, was adopted from Schnauzer Rescue. The little Londoner now enjoys the good life. She was sighted recently celebrating St. Patrick's Day with a stroll(er) through London's Springbank Park.
