Blog Guelph: Strength In Numbers
Welcome to Wednesday.
Yesterday Stats Canada released their census numbers for 2006 so I scurried to their site to get the skinny on Guelph. As much as I loath doing statistics, I get pleasure reading them. Please allow me to regale you with some of the finer details of Guelph's population in today's six post series.
As long suspected by my single, straight female friends, Guelph's population does in fact have more women than men. In fact, there are 3065 more gals wandering around this town than fellows.
Strangely, the male female ratio is exactly the same in the 40 - 44 year old category with 4775 of both blues and pinks.

Blog Guelph: Silence
Good morning friends.
Today I present nine images on this foggy post Remembrance Day in Guelph. As you scroll through the posts, I would like to encourage you to take the time to focus on peace.
Please reflect on your own state of being. Are you at peace with your friends, family and co-workers? Do you resonate calmness to those around you? Is your heart at rest?
You may not feel able to stop war in the world. You are able to stop the wars you are fighting.

Blog Guelph: Guelph Photo Artist Dezso
It's been a while since I dedicated an entire series to one photographer so today is the day.
For any of you that attend the Guelph Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings and do the complete circuit down to the far end by the picnic tables, you have likely seen Dezsö's work. He has been vending his photography cards, prints and calendar for several years now.
As you will notice over the 9 photos in today's set, Dezsö has a terrific sense of composition plus the technical skill to bring the image alive - as beautifully illustrated with this capture of the Epitaph in downtown Guelph.

Blog Guelph: Your Family's Health
Today's series of five posts focus on a variety of topics and images that struck me as interesting and in this case important.
Here's the skinny on number one. Currently 'we the people' of this great nation of ours have something called health freedom. As example - we can choose to buy and take vitamins without the approval of our medical doctor.
I don't know about you but I've successfully practised vitamin taking for a very long time with no ill effects.
So.....in a slightly louder typeface..... HERE'S THE BUTT OF THE LATEST WAY YOU AND I MAY BE CONTROLLED IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.
On April 30, 2007 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will close the public comment period on "Guidance" which will classify every alternative practice as medicine so that only licensed physicians can carry out the procedure AND vitamins, minerals, herbs, etc., will suddenly become "untested drugs" which will be forbidden.
Imagine - busted for vitamins!

Blog Guelph: Water Line
If you walk along the trail beside the Speed River by the River Run Centre, you'll come across this sculpture - which is in fact a time capsule - spearheaded by the Guelph Arts Council as a Millennium project.
That's pretty much all I know. Except - I think I put something in it.

Blog Guelph: Under the Watchful Eyes of a Frog friend
Today's series of six images is dedicated to the first day of spring in the fine city of Guelph as captured by photo artist Edeva. Click on any of her photograph's to see her full Flickr photostream.
Edeva is also one of the bloggers featured in our Guelph Blog Roll. Her posts are thoughtful and artistically moving - go here to see for yourself.
Our downtown frog lives on the ledge of the fountain of the family statue. Even though Frog never leaves the post - she seems more visible during fine weather.
Frog doubles as a drinking fountain and training ground for Prince seeking women. Although I have not availed myself to either of her services, I'm told she is both refreshing and reliable.
