Oh geesh, I forgot to post last Thursday. Thanks, Sue for getting one up!
There's lots going on. Life just gets in the way sometimes.
Anyway, don't you just want to jump into this first polaroid! It makes me think of what's beyond the frame. Is there water, a pool, or a swing set? Maybe there's a cool forest of trees just up over the hill. So many possibilites, just like summer!
Have a great day!

Just in case you missed last nights melon of a moon - here's our Gem of the Day by Thomevered. Do click the photo for your daily creative adventure.
This weekend looks good for the annual Potters Market at Goldie Mill both Saturday and Sunday. Over 40 craftsfolk will be on hand to sell you their wares. Great wedding gifts.....should you be looking.
My friend Russell Mater is offering courses in Craniosacral Therapy this summer. Very soothing stuff to both practice and receive. Get the details here.
Next weekend please plan to attend the Guelph Contemporary Dance Festival at one of their wonderful outdoor venues. Pure fun!
Until then - be cool.

Today's weather report.....

Today I bring you an assortment of photos! I was tempted to make the whole post today on toads after seeing xunicorn's four shots. It always seems to be a good day if I see a toad. I remember seeing them all the time as a kid in the city. These days, there hasn't been a toad trapped in my window well in years.
I hope your day goes well!

It's Friday Gem day - and I'm pleased to be featuring the intriguing work of Blairware. Click, click the pic, pic for more, more.
It's also the eve of May 24 - our first summery long weekend of the season and one that often brings out the craziness in people. For that reason, I've included this brief personal safety message.
Carry on.

I'm hoping this latte kicks in soon. I'm fading, and the day is only starting.
Lately I've been listening to Moneybrother. Maybe you'll like! The first time I heard his voice I heard Joe Strummer, and well me and The Clash go way back. I wasn't surprised to hear that others heard similarities. It's all good!
Check out the video for Born Under a Bad Sign. Good times!
Have a fantastic day! The weather is going to be fab!

Good Morning!
I hope this finds you well!
I am over my cold, and whatever virus I had going on, and now I'm ready to roll. There's film to be developed and new film to be loaded, and I'm feeling like I must get out there and see what's going on beyond my sick zone deck. The rest of the week looks great for exploring. Sadly the weekend doesn't. Maybe I can get someone to hold an umbrella over my camera.
Have a good one everyone, and check out Blog Guelph over on Facebook. Sue does a fantastic job updating with snippets going on around town, great sites to check out or even a jaunty poem to amuse you.

Sorry! It was a sick day for me.
I hope you had a great weekend!
I'll be back to myself on Wednesday, and Paula will be with you tomorrow!

It's a fab Friday out there friends - all bright and alive like this stunner of a photo Gem by M Pod. Consider taking a moment to click on her image - her fotostream is lovely.
Much diggin' in the dirt can be had around town this weekend for those of you that get fueled by nature. Here's a couple dig gigs.....
Come Celebrate Spring with Speed River Project Planting Days! Tree planting in your community!

Sunny Acres Neighbourhood Free Plant Swap

On a slightly different plant note, the Medical Cannabis Compassion Club of Guelph was busted by our not-so-compassionate Guelph Police last week - how embarrassing when you think about it. A peaceful protest is being held on Saturday, downtown. Details can be had right here.
So then - swap, dig and roll your weekend way.

Excuse me, while I stare at these first two photos all day! I'm always blown away by the great stuff in the Guelph flickr pools. Today is no exception! Wow! Take a look at all the photos I've posted and click away through their streams. The gems are plentiful!
So that's it for me until Monday, but I just want to remind you to check out the plant sale at Tytler public school starting at 8am on Saturday. I'm going to be bringing some stuff; like one of my favourite tomatoes to grow. Last year it grew great in pots and in the ground. I have an extra lemon cucumber that will be going, and other bits that I'll be dividing up from the garden outside. All the proceeds are going to help the children's garden. So that's a great thing!
Have a great day everyone!
