Trying to Find a Groove

Posted on December 9, 2013 by groovy777

Nothing in particular about these photos. One is from my current personal development course (Managing Conflict). And there’s my dog, of course. She always crosses her paws, very lady-like.  🙂                                               … Continue reading →

Collingwood Bygone Days

Posted on October 13, 2013 by groovy777

Visited a museum called Bygone Days Heritage Village in Collingwood (www.bygonedays.ca). Travelled up for the day with a bunch of Markham photography enthusiasts. They laughed at my little point-and-shoot camera, lol. It was pretty neat, with many items dating back … Continue reading →

Posted on October 5, 2013 by groovy777

Went to the Markham Fair today- I highly recommend it! Such a great little fair. Although my Aunt and late Uncle are founding members of Markham-Stouffville Hospital, and my late Uncle was I believe the first doctor in Unionville, I … Continue reading →

Posted on September 19, 2013 by groovy777

Summer’s quickly coming to an end. Days are shorter, and the weather is definitely chillier. Just learning to shoot pictures here and there, wherever I can grab some light and good vibrations. I’ve only been at this since July, and … Continue reading →

Crazy for Classic Cars

Posted on September 10, 2013 by groovy777

I’m kinda ‘old school’ when it comes to cars — love the curves on classic models! My first and only car was a 1975 Volkswagen Beetle. It was bright lemon yellow with black trim. Unfortunately, the only picture I have … Continue reading →

To All the Flowers I’ve Loved Before…

Posted on August 29, 2013 by groovy777

A familiar theme: flowers. Can you blame me? So naturally captivating! I’m worried I’m going to run out of subjects soon. Not because there aren’t great things out there to photograph, but with my social anxiety, it’s not always easy … Continue reading →

Expressive Clouds and Sunsets

Posted on August 23, 2013 by groovy777

This is all a jumble, but the theme is re-examining the ordinary.  And in the case of the sunsets, I tried to capture the glory of it, but it’s never quite the same in pictures.                 … Continue reading →

Posted on August 17, 2013 by groovy777

Living in a car-obsessed culture, how can I not feature some cool rides? Yes, that includes the wonderful public bus. When I returned to Toronto from my time in Asia, India and Europe, I was suffering from post-traumatic stress, anxiety … Continue reading →

Testing my comfort zones

Posted on July 18, 2013 by groovy777

Gotta love it when people use recycled materials to create something artistic and even functional, like this wind ornament below. Tiger lilies are like my new best friend — they look great every time! Birds and animals are REALLY hard … Continue reading →
