Quick, before spring’s temporary arrival is over here are some pics from a visit to the Ganaraska Millenium Conservation Area . This is my second time using my new 180mm macro lens – just getting the hang of it. Though everything is still brown the sun makes it look happier.
Thank you for coming to my presentation. Please email me if you have any questions (risa.gluskin@tdsb.on.ca)
If you have questions about the Scattergraph Assignment I can send you some of the data or the assignment.

Lonely in a crowd again. I couldn’t find anyone from YM so I joined the march and ended up in a great spot right in front of Maple Leaf Gardens. Teachers make great signs.
As a surprise Val took me to the PrimRose donkey sanctuary in Roseneath, about half an hour away from our cottage. Here are some of the lovely donkeys and mules. They take donations if you’re interested.
On Christmas day I checked out my backyard: what a mess. However, there’s always something to take a picture of. This time I tried to shoot some man-made things as opposed to just my usual leaves and natural detritus.
I was not multitasking when I saw this program on the PBS science program called Nova Science Now about a month ago about teenagers who claim that they are able to focus when needed despite normally being major multitaskers.
Read this article, particularly the part about the work of Clifford Nass and Eyal Ophir at Stanford University. It may surprise you. It may also explain why your teacher is always telling you to focus on one thing at a time. It turns out it’s a valuable skill even in this infomated world.
OISE students: I enjoyed presenting to you. Best of luck at your first practicum. Please email if you need anything else.

Read this article. While I wholeheartedly agree that distracted driving is a major problem, I dislike the fact that the Wheels section of the Toronto Star is the same entity that promotes all kind of driving-related gadgets. Hypocrisy?
Leaf litter is such a misnomer. In reality fallen and torn leaves can be quite beautiful and abstract. Photography manuals always say to choose the best, most perfect leaves and flowers as subjects. I prefer the most chewed up ones.
