Terry Border (Bent Objects) was my inspiration for the #52frames_humor week challenge. It was fun to do, but nowhere close to the master's work! #52frames #photography #bent_objects

Allsorts of trouble at snack time. Candies escape their bowl to challenge a healthy apple to a duel.

I spent entirely too much time on this week's #52Frames_ontheground challenge 😜. Here are a few of my favourite images from the week. #macrophotography #nature #fujifilm

My #52frames_water image ended up not really having "water" as the main focus, BUT, the idea for this image was inspired by the challenge! So I'm going with it! #52frames #photography

First time meeting a Red-Headed Woodpecker - at my Mom's feeder today! It spent the morning eating sunflower seeds. #ShallowLake #birds #ontario #photography

Parseword, today's done with no hints! (Mind you, it was a short clue.) #puzzles #parseword

Parseword results: perfect, no hints, completed in 1 min 1 sec, & secret found!

#52frames #52frames_inspiredbyaphotographer #horses #equine I went with DAVID REID and Krystina Lynn - Canadian Equine photographers for inspiration this week. This photo is from the Dutch Harness and Trottingbred Sale at St. Jacobs Farmers' Market.

First time for me - solved Parseword with no hints, not even the definition! (To be fair, it was one of the easier ones...) #parseword #puzzles

For #52frames_portraitofastanger during a walk in a local park, I met Georges Sioui - a very friendly man with many interesting stories (he is Huron-Wendat, a polyglot, he was a professor of Indigenous Studies as three different Canadian Universities, an author, and more!) #52frames #photography

One of my attempts for #52frames_whatisit. In the end, I felt it was too obvious - but since I spent so much time photographing this small section of a fence post, I decided to share it! #macrophotography #lichen

Final for #52Frames_highkey. I ended up making a Dollar Store light box and picked up a dragon fruit for fun. #photography #high_key

Tried ICM landscapes yesterday for #52Frames_highkey. Kind of tricky to do - but I like the look. (A stand of poplar trunks.) #photography #landscapes #nature

Inspired by @mark.fearnley's "abstract textures" images, I went for walk in the rain. As a Canadiens fan from way back, my submission for #52frames_rollof24 will be the @montrealcanadiens.bsky.social goal 😊 #reflectionphotography #nhlhockey #streetphotography #fujifilmxt5 #gaslightdistrictgalt

Focused on some abstract photos for #52Frames_rollof24. It has to be between these two - do you have a preference? #photography #52frames #abstract #macro

Not too many ideas for #52frames_chaos week...I focused on macro shots of burning steel wool. I hurt my ribs last weekend falling on the ice, so couldn't perform the "spinning steel wool fire" pic -- maybe another time!

I'm exploring the Brenizer Method for #52Frames_unexplored week. I haven't found the right location or subject (yet) for this method, but, WOW, it is a lot of work to process the files! Here is a pic of Sheave Mill, an unexplored location for me (composite image of 70 pics). #52frames #photography
