</tbody></table>Came across this wonderful image of a woman behind a camera while moving some boxes. One of the boxes was my memorabilia box. Some old photos, and writings by my mother. I feel as if she was still here when I see her handwriting and can smell her familiar perfume in her things. Her private thoughts away from her family scrawled upon a page evoked a sense of her vivacious spirit. It always surprises me that she had a life separate from her children. She always made us feel that we were the center of her world.<br />
I think I will be putting up my dad's Coronet F-20 camera up for sale soon. cedar-pinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05124089574622584823noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696074707687190590.post-1824971506762906352011-10-21T15:45:00.000-07:002011-10-21T23:11:54.075-07:00Architecture and Nature<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTZAecDZ-nG-9nPhFrIhEvBlQJ6z-xiLwqGX5KAlLaInQfVxo-3oByWQQW5gc0H5EINzyDVSsOvxHFsOwmtyA3G-LHHOPYxv-Be679rkKEuKeIWOyk8TWeeqRku0n7MqMwyqFNdr8dmWmp/s1600/5340190661_9252973b1a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTZAecDZ-nG-9nPhFrIhEvBlQJ6z-xiLwqGX5KAlLaInQfVxo-3oByWQQW5gc0H5EINzyDVSsOvxHFsOwmtyA3G-LHHOPYxv-Be679rkKEuKeIWOyk8TWeeqRku0n7MqMwyqFNdr8dmWmp/s320/5340190661_9252973b1a.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><a href="http://www.an-architecture.com/2011/01/green-art.html"><br />

Always looking for inspiration. Happened across this blog - <a href="http://www.an-architecture.com/2011/01/green-art.html">Green Art</a> . Looking at new ideas for designing an interior garden to last all year long and using a method to collect rainwater, or melted snow water for its main water supply. We get so much rain and snow, it is just a matter of channeling it properly. We focus on removing snow in winter, why not find ways of using it as a resource and work with nature instead of making it something to shove aside.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Spent most of the day catching up on some Canadian art news and reading about this intriguing unsolved mystery of Tom Thompson. In the process I was happy to discover a writer who writes about Canada. I am glad they found out it was his skull. No mention of the families reaction though to the finding. And there was some question about it being a bullet hole. It sure looks like it to me, but I am not a forensic scientist. What was the other option...the theory that he injured himself with his rowing ore. You would think they could now do a proper investigation to find out if the hole is a gun shot wound or not. Here's a photo of him with a paddle. For some reason I think the paddle would have made more of a mess. Where are CSI when you need them!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Beautiful Lake Evans which has so captured my heart and probably my soul too. I hope to explore all the lakes around the Laurentians. I never thought that I would be caught reading about mosses and looking up tree ailments, having been raised in the city, but my favorite tree which I call "Molly" seems to be afflicted with something. I am still learning the turf. As I adventure I will be posting my explorations of this area, and this completely new way of living for me. Fed up with the diluted products today, I've decided to start to do things Au-natural. Looked into some soap making yesterday</span>.<br />
