Photo Hunters — You are in My World Now

Reflections of Toronto

November 22, 2008 by Tricia

This weeks Photo Hunt theme is Reflection

I took these photos of the Toronto water front area while on a dinner boat cruise last year. There’s nothing like being on the water at sunset. What a beautiful view of an impressive city.

If you look closely at the pictures, above and below, you can see that the CN tower and other nearby buildings are reflected in the water. You can also see the reflection of the sunset in the water too.

I’m looking forward to seeing what other Photo Hunters have come up with for this weeks theme! You can see my other entry – Reflections of Midnight – on my main blog Tricia’s Musings if you’d like.

Spring in Toronto

This weeks theme is Share ANY Photo

I took this photo a few years ago, but this is what Toronto looks like right now. Well, ok the leaves on the trees are almost fully filled out right now, but it’s close to how it looks. Ok? 🙂

This photo was taken as we drove along LakeShore Blvd. There’s a clear view of Lake Ontario.

This is a popular area for anyone who loves the outdoors, getting fit or walking their pets. Chris and I have gone to the beach to walk along the boardwalk with our puppy Midnight a few times already this year. We’re hoping to make it a regular weekend outing.

Twisted flag

This weeks theme is Twisted

We have a flag at the front of our house. It’s attached to a flag pole that juts out from the bricks.

Unfortunately it’s fairly windy here in Toronto – all year round – so the flag is whipped around quite a bit. This is a photo of our Canadian flag twisting in the wind.

This past winter we left our flag up. I’d asked my husband to take it down in the fall since it was already getting a little raggy from being whipped around in the wind, but he didn’t remove it. I guess the flag spent the winter hitting the bricks as the free end seems to have a piece missing and it looks worse than ever.

It’s actually quite disgraceful.

Perhaps later today or sometime tomorrow we’ll go out and look for a new flag to replace our worn one with.

Do you have a flag at your house? Do you take it down in the winter? How often do you have to replace your flag?

Have you seen the bean?

This weeks theme is Metal

I’ve posted photos of Chicago’s famous Cloud Gate sculpture -aka The Bean – on a few of our blogs, but I don’t think I’ve posted this photo.

The bean is a huge spherical metallic sculpture in Chicago’s Millennium Park. Depending upon where you are standing when you gaze at the bean you can see different aspects of the surrounding city reflected in it’s almost spotless surface.

What you can see reflected in The Bean in this photo is what I think was a place called the Millennium Theater. It’s a huge outdoor theater or band shell and it’s got a gorgeous design.

Have you seen the bean?

Flag and flowers

This weeks theme is I Spy

These lovely clematis grow at the front of my house, on the left hand corner if you’re facing the house, and the flowers wrap around the side of the house.

I didn’t realize when I took this photo that our Canadian flag would show up in the photo, nor would I ever have thought that it would make such a lovely background. I was quite pleased when I spied the flag in the photo.

Have you ever been concentrating on taking a photo of someone or something and then discovered that was was in the background was almost as interesting as the intended subject? I love it when that happens.
