The summer garden

 The front garden is a riot of colour.
 The side gardens by the bus stop are equally vibrant.
 And the willow is not yet dominating this corner, growing back to this height after being cut to a few inches above ground level for spring-time harvesting.
 And the individual flowers are beautiful.

Memories of 2012

 Visiting Disney in Orlando with Nathan and his family and Julian was the highlight pf the year.
 On the way back from Florida, we visited Roanoak, Virginia. Lots of railroad memorabilia.
 In Ottawa, our cycling group, "The wheels of fortune," toured many parts of Ottawa and the surronding countryside. This was a new sculpture on the banks of the Rideau Canal.
 One of the many basketry sales venues I visited during the year.
 A stair basket.
 One of the tools of the basketry trade: a lash buddy.
 A Victorian English shopping basket.
 One of the smallest baskets I have ever made with grapevine bark weavers.
 The solar panels in winter after being shovelled off.
And the luxuriant garden in early summer.
