Weekly Photo Challenge: Change

Richmond Hill. October 2013

I have a feeling that this week’s theme of “change” has been used before or at least this photo that I am choosing has been used for a prior photo challenge.  Nevertheless, it’s a beautiful photo that shows the colours of change that we see in the season of autumn.   Continue reading

Weekly Photo Challenge: Grid

Fallsview Casino Resort, Niagara Falls. December 2014

Fun fact:  Did you know that there are 98 days until Christmas?  I’ve never been a huge Christmas or winter holiday person simply because we don’t celebrate Christmas as much as we used to do when I was a kid.   Continue reading
