What normally takes me ages in the morning, took less than 5 minutes. It helps that Scott has quite a set of evening images I wanted to post, but this new computer is fast!
I hear it's going to be a hot one!
Have a great day!

Blog Guelph: Trilliums at Starkey Hill
Yesterday turned out to be an ok day. It was a good thing. I had a lot of digging and chilling to do. :)
Today I looked through the Guelph pool on Flickr and I couldn't get over all the green. Guelph is a lush and gorgeous place right now.
Enjoy your day everyone!

Blog Guelph: Guelph Contemporary Dance Festival
Friday!
Phewf.
Do you know what's delightful?
Beyond our gardens bursting beyond belief, our feet moving from boot to sandal, and the irrepressible sense of hopefulness of course...what is especially delightful to me is that it's the time of year for the Guelph Contemporary Dance Festival to explode upon our parks, streets, studios and stages.
So head on down to Exhibition Park this coming Thursday, at 7pm to witness dance groups that use the grass and the trees to tell their story. If you have to miss that evening performance, it is repeated again at noon on both Saturday and Sunday.
Come visit my hood Friday at noon in St. George's Square Downtown, and witness emerging choreographers In The Street, where..."ideas and bodies bounce off old stone and new concrete to create a community-engaging spectacle."
These are both pay what you can performances.
And please do not miss the world-class performances On The Stage at the River Run Centre both Friday and Saturday night.
Dance people, dance!

Blog Guelph: Soggy Night
Good Afternoon,
Just one image today - and what an image it is. I love the contrast in there, the tonal range, the clarity, and the perspective. Julia has really captured the feel and the quiet to this street. You can feel the dampness and the weight of the wet. There is a timeless quality to this scene, and she has done an amazing job communicating a sense of isolation. Julia has a rich and varied stream and if you haven't checked it out on flickr, do it and enjoy the show, talent, humour, honesty, and great skill, you won't be disappointed!

Blog Guelph: Very Springy
Here is yet another small set of images from the Arboretum. If you are interested in the Arboretum, GO THERE. If you want to look at some of the amazing photographs coming out of the Arboretum, take a stroll through flickr. Right now there are a tonne of people photographing in the Arboretum, many images of which I cannot post, so please head over to flickr and take a look!
Hope you have had a wonderful day,

Blog Guelph: Spring Flowers
Well, a little bit of sun and the flowers have simply exploded throughout Guelph. The Arboretum was full of trilliums over the past two weeks. The thing about trilliums, you just don't really notice them until BLAM, and then they are all you see. Starkey Hill was a mix of white, red, and pink trilliums, while the streets of Guelph have been heavy with magnolia blooms.
Hope you all had a wonderful long weekend,
Paula

Oops!
I meant to post earlier! My computer is slow, oh so slow these days, but a friendlier pal is in the works, and the next time I post, watch out!
Take care everyone, and did you see the blue sky? Leaving work tonight a coworker exclaimed, "what is that?" it was the sun!!

Blog Guelph: Victoria Rd Rain
Victoria Rd Rain , originally uploaded by John Q6.
This morning I have a press release to share!
PRESS RELEASE
Guelph Arts Platform
May 16th, 2011
The Platform presents an overview of how community interests will be incorporated into its project plan.
The Guelph Arts Platform seeks to establish a centre of artistic and cultural expression that provides quality services and amenities, and spaces for performance, rehearsal, workshops, studios, offices, galleries, retail and more.
Working with Artscape - a Toronto-based, not-for-profit urban development company with an expertise in building collaborative arts and culture spaces - as its mentor, the Platform distributed a Request for Expressions of Interest in early 2011.
The Platform received over 70 responses from community groups, and individual artists, as well as private and social enterprises. Community members articulated their thoughts in response to questions that dealt with topics such as the role they seek to occupy in a creative space, location preferences and space requirements.
The Platform has begun to draft a project plan that incorporates the variety of responses they received and is hosting an open meeting on Tuesday May 24th from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. in the auditorium (accessible from the side door on Cork Street) of Norfolk United Church.
The Platform encourages all REOI respondents and community members alike to join them for this information session. Come on out to learn about what members of your community hope for and the Platform’s vision for a creative space which speaks to the heart of the Guelph creative community.

Blog Guelph: Tea Bag
Well, it's time for tea. I love a cup of tea and I could sure go for one right now. I like black tea, not really ever green tea, with milk, preferably good clean milk. I am partial to drinking my tea out of the mug my sister bought from the potter down the road. I am making a switch to loose tea after a cafe owner gave me some great advice about the quality of already-bagged tea. Anyone have a tea they'd recommend? Off to boil some water.
Hope you have all had a wonderful day,

Yikes! Here I was thinking about going to bed and then it hit me, NO POST. Crisscrossgirl's set is full of spring flowers, or on-their-way to blooming flowers. Hope you all had a wonderful day!

Blog Guelph: Niska Trail
Good morning BG! WOW, what a weekend for getting out on the Guelph trails. I was out four separate times, include a jaunt up Starkey with Donna for pictures. Dogs, people, children, it was just great to see so many people out enjoying the green places in and around this city. I might just have to hit another trail after work. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

Blog Guelph: Jane's Walks
Here's a little Friday one shot wonder from Dom Cruz - the intrepid urban photographer.
Last week I waxed on about Doors Open Guelph, which was, by the way, a brilliant success by all accounts. Now I want to see you out walking again this weekend at one of the many Jane's Walks around our fair town, in honour of the indomitable and visionary Jane Jacobs.
Explore your City. Meet your neighbours. Learn a little something.
Most of all, have fun out there.
“Cities have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created by everybody.”
— Jane Jacobs, ‘The Death and Life of Great American Cities’

Blog Guelph: In the Middle
Good Morning,
I was really moved by these images, particularly by the stunning softness used in each. In each case, the delicate nature of the subject is so well translated to the image. Julia and Krista are able feel their way through a flower to isolate a beautiful composition. I am really inspired by their sensitive but confident use of focus and their restrained use of colour. As the cherry and magnolia trees come into bloom, it is going to be a great time to get out photographing.
Have a great day,
Paula

Blog Guelph: Arboretum
Yikes, this is a very late post, my apologies.
It has been a crazy day of making title cards for photos and I thought a picture from a place of quiet and reflection was in order. I love the Arboretum and it has been an amazing space for me to develop my own photography in both skill and vision, and I am certainly not alone in this! The Guelph flickr stream is teeming with photographers returning to their favourite nooks with variations in seasons, weather, and equipment. So if you go there for the photography, what is your favourite spot? I think this boardwalk is tops on many lists.
Hope you have enjoyed your day,
Paula

Blog Guelph: Noncompetitive Charity Ride!
Good Afternoon BG.
I am getting quite excited for this summer on my bike. There is just something about pedaling yourself around, whether for groceries, a gentle glide, or 100 miles along the backroads! Here's to a great summer on two wheels.

Blog Guelph: Sad Little Flower
Good morning Guelph,
I would like to thank Donna for blogging for me last week while I was out of range of the internet. I heard Guelph got much rain and very little of anything else so I thought I'd celebrate that by posting some beautiful rain-related images. I love Julia's Sad Little Flower, how the focus and the composition impart such heaviness to the drops on those light petals. I hope you are all able to enjoy what rolls in with your day.
ALSO, make time to VOTE today!
I'm off to the polls,
Paula
