For today ~Christmas Eve~, an on-this-day post. While I did get out briefly and make a few photos, I did not finish the roll, so did not develop or scan. It’s just as well, since we’re still (mostly) overcast. It did remind me that last Christmas Eve, the cosmos blessed us with some sunshine! CameraLensFilmDeveloperScannerLocationDate(s)Filing…

I’ve waxed poetic enough about Bread By Us‘ focaccia that I don’t think I have to say that if we’re in Hintonburg (now Wellington West) for bread, it’s for that. This roll, an *almost* on this day from last year, not only saw us out to this nice neighbourhood to the west of us, but…

It turns out that this December, at least meteorologically speaking, is looking like a note-for-note repeat of last year’s. We’ve been quite snowy and cool for the last few weeks, that today’s bump in temperature (2C today and light rain) and forecast (high of 5C by Friday) threatens to take away our snowy blanket, leaving…

*Usually*, when the sun comes out in December or January, I make sure to get outside to make photos – no matter how cold. And it’s usually cold: bright and sunny winter days are the cold ones. But it’s a dry cold. At least that’s what I tell myself. Still, my favourite seasonal light is…

Perhaps – at least for the season – I should rename this site to “Charlotte Makes Snow Photos”. Or maybe *Made* Snow Photos, since these are from a snowy Sunday afternoon a few years ago. I will have some new photos up here soon, but they are snowy photos of (mostly) Bank Street from yesterday…

Today, I have another “on this day” to share. This time, it was one year ago today that I took a little walk around the neighbourhood after work to make photos of the snow. On the theme of becoming soft as time goes on, we’ve had a bit of a cold snap lately (i.e. -20C/-27C…

It’s not all that often, but sometimes I get the urge to make photos along Bronson Avenue. Connected directly to the Airport Parkway, in the 1960s it was reformed into a bit of a traffic sewer (much like King Edward once it was connected to the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge), making it an unpleasant and dangerous-feeling place…

Photos from a Friday afternoon kitty food mission, on this day, one year ago. I remember it being a little chilly, but nothing like this year’s transition from summer to fall to winter. Brr. That’s part of our errands today. Apparently, it’s supposed to be a little brighter today, which will be nice. I am…

Since I haven’t been out to make new photos since Sunday (still cold, cloudy), it’s another (almost) on this day post! About five years ago today, the results from a test roll for the new-to-me Minolta SR-T 201 and Rokkor-X 50mm f/1.7. I was able to get the SR-T and lens from an eBay seller…

Looking back through last fall’s photos, it’s pretty clear that we had at least a little more sunshine. Unfortunately, this fall has been both cloudier and rainier. Save for the beautiful snow we’ve had. For this walk (almost on this day), which took us down Gladstone, up Arthur, and down Slater, Kathleen and I were…
