Rainbow Fan 21.6.15
After the success of the Mosaic Fans on Day 154 and Day 159 it seemed like a good idea to make one for this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge from Michelle: Roy G. Biv.
This was my last post for Roy G. Biv in response to The Daily Prompt in January 2014

Burano Vignette 18.6.15
One of the great joys of blogging with WordPress is the pleasure discovering new blogs to be inspired by. Today was one of those days when I was introduced to Small Town Girl Midnight Trains. Her misty images of Burano for this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Off-Season are simply magical and made me want to rush to the studio and try and capture those colorful houses and deserted walkways lining the canal on that misty morning. How successful I’ve been is another matter but it led to a happy hour or two this afternoon immersed in another world.
The blog is a jewel, with a wonderful heading text: travel inspiration for small budgets and big dreams. If the blog is new to you too drop by you won’t be disappointed, and don’t forget to read her Travel Manifesto in which she “wishes to inspire by being ordinary,” but in which in fact she inspires by being extraordinary.

For a month last November I took part in The Daily Post’s Photography 101. For the final weekend Cheri suggested we all “Get Out and Explore.” Well I did just that on a magical early morning in Vancouver, and posted “It just doesn’t get much better”. Today’s photo is from that Off-Season November morning on Kitsilano Beach, about which I wrote:
Yesterday was one of those magical days in Vancouver. There was fresh snow on the ground and the air was crisp and cold with the sun shining from a blue, blue sky. Although I posted a farewell to Photography 101 with its a wrap, I did indeed “get out and explore” as Cheri had suggested, and with Ben’s convergence very much on my mind had an early morning walk along Kits beach as the sun began to rise.
For this week’s Photo Challenge from Krista: Show us what “off-season” means to you.
