Red Sky Voting

We voted for red skies yesterday looking for a new sunrise and a final sunset. We have completed our election voting in Canada and have a new majority Liberal government.  Our first Trudeau government generated so much excitement it was named Trudeaumania in 1968. There is an energy line to his son for sure. We voted him to a majority government yesterday.  Did you know that there was a board game in the 1980's - a satire on Canadian politics?  It was named "True Dough Mania". The images today have a festive look - with the red skies of the Liberal party colours, and perhaps a nod towards Christmas with the green in with the red.

Decay vs Design Finding a headboard that looked like grunge was a curious experience in Florida.  I marvel at what the materials and techniques would be.  That's what the first and third images are - closeups of the crackle effect.  I get the impression Elmer's Glue or acrylic is involved in the process. And Martha Stewart youtube instructions are easily found. The second image is likely easier to identify.  It is the carpeting in the lobby, with a pretty water lily motif.

Urban Extractions in the Garden

I am intrigued with the companionship of grunge and plants.  These two images tell the story of this man and nature companionship.

Urban Hearts

I found these hearts in St. Catharines earlier this month - on a graffiti wall and guard rail.  Hearts seem to pop up a lot in the urban environment, always an enjoyment when they do!
