Oh my! What a month it’s been.
My first impression of August was that it had been a quiet month.
I had cancelled many activities to stay at home and recharge. My little basement ‘studio’ turned a year old and I’ve spent endless hours in there this month reorganizing, cleaning, switching out the carpet I decided was too dark for the space … and of course creating.
My inspiration came from a trip to the McMichael Art Gallery which features Canadian art. Because of that visit I started putting paint on canvas for the first time since March.
So while it feels like I spent a lot of time at home inside my own head, my photo library tells a different story. I had a month full of activities with more memories than I could possibly share!
It’s not surprising that so many of those memories involved water … a quintessential feature of a Canadian summer.
On land, there were flights of fantasy.
The summer wouldn’t be complete without attending the send-off of the annual Friends For Life Bike Rally.
The oppressive humidity is gone and the air conditioning in the house has been off for many days now. Already the mornings are quite cool.
Summer is rapidly coming to an end and for me, this month seems to reinforce the saying – life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans.

Changing Seasons is a monthly photo feature hosted by Su Leslie at Zimmerbitch. In Su’s corner of the world in New Zealand, they are anticipating spring. I hope you’ll take a look.
There are not many things better than spend some time on the water! And than experimenting when painting!
