I got Forrey to take this picture again. The selfie I took was blurred.
I was thinking about this Long John Baldry album cover.
I picked some peonies from the garden and put them in a vintage jug.
The jug of peonies, with the peony painting.
Amaryllis photo.
Amaryllis, blooming. I’ll take more pictures as it blooms. I might do a print of this for the wall.
Closed sign, Stratford, Ont. This might make a good painting. I like the pink text and the pink flower. Sept 2022.
Nasturtium, Stratford, Ont. Also a good image for a painting.
An old bicycle in the Avon river. Stratford, Ont.
Jo, Stratford, Sept 2022.

Port Colborne, Ont.
Leaves in the back lane. A clear blue sky, with a few inches of snow on the ground.
My glass skull, and black obsidian skull. I’m calling them The Shadow and the Ghost. This might make a good painting, to go with the poem of the same name.
The glass skull on its own. This would make a great painting too.
I got a crystal ball for Christmas. I went around looking at things through it. This is an image of one of my Tiffany Lamps.
My stained glass dragonfly window taken through the crystal ball lens.
Green pepper photograph.
Three green peppers.
Three green peppers, standing up.
A big butterfly flew into the addition. I had to catch it and put it outside.
Blue/red walls.
Yellow fireplug.
My name in dried peppers. I like the shadows.
I got this pear from the grocery store, with a large X on it. I thought it would make a good painting. I took the picture at night, with a flashlight, but it’s a bit fuzzy around the edges. I should have got a peach, ha.
The same pear, lying down.
Two blue pears, one standing, one lying down. They just look like women to me.
And of course, three blue pears. Well, the light is blue, that’s why I’m calling them that.
I got 3 great squash from the farmer’s market. They’re so sculptural. I had to leave before I bought the whole box.
Two squash together. They look like swans.
The shapes are fantastic. This would make a great painting.
A black and white self-portrait of me in the snow. Could make a good painting.
…and the painting.
The light purple iris in the back flower border. The same one I did the iris painting from.
My rose/gold irises that my friend Sue gave me years ago. They’re an unusual colour. This could be a good painting.
The iris in the rain. This could become a painting too.
A tarot hand I got at the dollar store for Halloween. I put it on the windowsill in my studio with my collection of assemblages and objects.
Me, neon lights filter on my camera.
Me, black and white filter on my camera.
Another black and white photo of me, taken with the filter on my camera.
Wolf skull taken with the ‘bubble’ filter on my camera.
Pear, with the bubble filter.
I took a couple of photographs of the sun coming in through the blind. I liked the shadows.
My bouquet of flowers for my zoom class. My first time doing a floral bouquet, and a zoom class.
The finished bouquet. I enjoyed doing it. I think it looks good for my first time.
Ornamental cabbage, sunflowers, small pumpkins, salal and huckleberry leaves from B.C., asters, an artichoke, some sea thistles, and two acanthus leaves. There’s one thing I don’t know the name of.
The bouquet from the side. Nice flowers, and some additions of my own. I added some glitter pumpkins, of course, and some maple leaves I picked up on our walk around the neighbourhood.
My new (old) Smith-Corona typewriter. Ma ma ma my corona.
