it gets lonely when nobody sings,
musical and magical…….Jose Murguia
I don’t have a guitar, and I don’t have a musical bone in my body. People pay not to hear me sing, I am so bad! Can’t carry a tune in a paperbag, so they say. I wish it was different by it isn’t. This picture was taken at the house concert we attended a couple of weeks ago.They were sitting so patiently between sets! The two guitars are sitting on a stand that holds three guitars, so together like this it almost looks like a reflection. I hope you have time to enjoy the music today.

I spent the weekend working on holiday pictures, and reflecting on the trip to Venice. Most mornings we were up early, enjoyed the sunrise, and the streets before the tourists were out for breakfast.
Here the gondolas are moored at the Bacino Orseole, stored during the night or on rainy days, by mid morning there is a line up of tourists waiting for a ride through the canals.
Pedestrian Bridge, Princess Island to downtown Calgary

Princess Island park is linked to Eau Claire and downtown Calgary with three bridges. There is currently one bridge connecting Princess Island to Calgary’s northwest communities and Memorial Drive, but that is soon to change.
It was a great fall morning, water was still and the clouds were perfect! You know that when your day starts like this it is going to be a good day.
Inspire, Inspiring, Inspired…………..

I like the photo well enough, not sure if it needs the words to go with it, or if this is even the right word. But I find children inspiring, they are always learning, and despite a thousand falls, they learn to walk, run, and they continue to take risks; for that inspire seem like the right word.
What do you find inspiring?
Coal Harbour, Vancouver BC

The Coal Harbour land area is situated just west of the downtown core along the waterfront from Canada Place on the east to Stanley Park on the West. It is a great place for a morning coffee, stroll, job or bike ride. You can see the cruise ships and boats of all sizes, float plans coming and going.

Upside Down and Backwards! Reflections and Life
Posted: July 18, 2011 Filed under: Alberta, Calgary Alberta, Calgary Photographer, fine art photography, flowers, landscape photography, photography, reflections, still life photography | Tags: Calgary Fine Art Photographer, fine art photography, flowers, glass balls, mirror image, perspective, philosophical view, reflections, upside down view 7 Comments »I have this glass ball hanging in the garden on what looks like a spring, when the wind turns the spring it looks like the glass ball is moving up and down, it is an illusion! The glass ball also mirrors the world, but the image in it is upside down and backwards. It is, at least for me, quite fascinating to study the view and I was reminded again how things aren’t always as they seem, our personal perspective shapes what we see, and is shaped by how we look at things, and I should try to look at things from more that one perspective occasionally.
I hope your view is a good one!
