For #RoseWednesday and for the #WaroftheRoses (although currently in ceasefire) …

Here’s a little planted and fading bouquet that I thought was kind of adorable on Sunday.
A planted bouquet of bright fuchsia, pale, pink and fading brown roses with their glossy dark green leaves. They are in a front lawn that is highly mulched with dark brown wood chips.

Took another photo at First Canadian Place yesterday and their holiday decor balls look very sci-fi.

#EastCoastKin
Red and white lighted plastic decor balls hanging from a coffer ceiling that has got bright white light fixtures below. There are marble floors and columns, and people walking through the mall.

It’s been a day. But I figure we all need nice things - so here’s the very pretty holiday tree at First Canadian Place.

(And large too— I reckon it’s over thirty feet tall)

Inspired by @earthlingnoreally.bsky.social , I figured I would photograph some wires this morning.
Two hydros one with a junction box and a lot of wires with a cloudy blue sky. In the background below there are some houses and some maple trees.

I have been thinking a lot about Jorja Smith lately - but when I saw this blue light at the corner of Dovercourt and College yesterday I knew I had to play the song. One of my favs of the last ten years .
A traditional street light painted bright teal blue with a blue group of LED lights inside it in the background there’s a cloudy blue sky and two red brick buildings and a modernist city building

Is the same one that is in Clarence Gagnon’s midnight Christmas Mass painting of 1933.
A church with a whole bunch of people and horses coming toward the lighted open door with candles leading the windows. It’s really snowy and looks out to the Rivière Gouffre in the distance.

@dbcurren.bsky.social piqued my thoughts about looking at my pictures of Baie St Paul, Québec.

This church….
The big Catholic Church on Saint Anne Street in Bay Saint Paul that has two Tours on side of a central cholesterol with lots of arid windows and a large rose window in the centre

This is from February 2020 just before the pandemic- and I think this is another one downtown that Gagnon painted.
A traditional Quebec house with two chimneys and a sloped roof with gable windows. The first floor has gray painted wood in front of the house. There are a few deciduous trees, a huge snow bank , and it says Maison René Richard, Galerie D’art
