Comments (0) Our cottage has a pretty big garage, one I don’t go into very often. However, I thought it would make for an interesting photography destination.
There’s measurement.
There are hose-shaped things.
There are tools (mostly) neatly arranged.
There are unidentified objects (probably parts of power tools).
There’s even a bit of colour.
And of course there’s a TTC bus stop. Who wouldn’t have such a thing?
How could I forget – lots of random bike parts.
I suppose it’s fitting that these days ice doesn’t stay around for too long. After the freezing rain overnight at the cottage, we went outside to take some photos. By the end, it was mostly dropping water rather than perfect little ice crystals.
It snowed all morning today so next up will be snowy pics, I guess.
This Sunday morning I’ve been doing the following:
And I was never a morning person! I don’t drink coffee.
Making roasted vegetables each weekend is my new thing. The process really shows off how much work vegans have to do to eat healthy, not including growing the food, of course.
Peel the carrots.
Chop the colourful carrots.
Mushrooms are easy. Just throw them in a bowl.
Don’t forgot to preheat the oven!
Play with your vegetables for some fun:)
Meanwhile, press the tofu with an improvised tofu teapot press.
“Finish” the press job.
More vegetables to go! Take the sweet potatoes for a mood-lighting photo because they’re so pretty.
Mix then salt and pepper the veggies.
Same for the tofu cubes.
Finally, ready for the oven.
Do the dishes while you wait for the veggies to cook.
Remove from the oven 40 minutes later.
Check if they’re done.
Behold the beauty the oven does and try not to eat them all this minute.
Make yourself a small bowl to eat now and of course take a pic before the light disappears.
Pack up the veggies for the week – can’t resist one more beauty shot.
There are bits of red here and there at the cottage.
Unfortunately, this Economist cover for Sept. 21-27, has an unmistakably red section, too, representing how much we have worsened temperature creep since the 1990s. Even The Economist admits: “It [climate change] is not a problem that can be put off for a few decades. It is here and now. … Its losses are already there and often mourned – on drab landscapes where the glaciers have died and on reefs bleached of their coral colours. Delay means that mankind will suffer more harm and face a vastly more costly scramble to make up for lost time.”
Truly beautiful works of art, sculptures by Zimbabwean artists at Edwards Gardens. Each one is perfectly placed in just the right location in the extensive gardens. There are a few other photos in my July post. I’ve been twice now and would love to go back at dusk.

This is not the first time I’ve seen Zimbabwean sculpture. Near our cottage is ZimArt: Rice Lake Gallery, another fantastic place to see outdoor art.
I love the variety of subjects: human, animal and geometric.
I had some friends over to the cottage for a bbq and forgot to serve the bean salad. It sat languishing in the fridge after I had worked to perfect the tarragon dressing using our own tarragon from the herb garden. And so, the bean salad deserves its due: a study in bean salad.
You’ll notice that I propped it up, de-propped it, moved locations, changed lighting conditions, and, finally, ate it.
This person has one. I wish I could see like that.

I’m learning how to take photos of food. It is not easy. Here are some of my favourite concoctions from the last two weeks.
