Judy Wood art/photography

I'm a trifle shocked, or at least surprised, to note that it's been over two months since my last post. Apparently I've overcome my inner compulsion to post weekly, as I have done for many years,...

After an early frost (first week of September), we've rebounded into a version of late summer, with warm sunny days and cool but not crisp nights. The fall colours of the trees have developed won...

Warm rich colour and no colour seem to be today's theme. I've been doing my usual garden and plant shots. It's hard to avoid indulging in them at this time of year. We're in such a hot dry spell ...

Tonight's shots are a somewhat random selection from recent downloads. Not feeling too wordy this evening, so comments will be brief and vaguely to the point (edited to note that brevity is not ...

I used to post to this blog religiously every week, and I kept to that schedule for the better part of ten years. I seem finally to have overcome the guilt I used to feel by missing weeks, to th...

After a longish period of cold and cloudy weather (we've had the furnace on in the early morning on several days, to take the edge off), today really did feel like summer, and tomorrow is suppos...

With my blog posts being intermittent at best these days, some of nature's developments get skipped over so that we go from early spring in my photos almost to summer from post to post. Mind you...

Spring has finally made an appearance here, nice after a winter that lasted the better part of six months. The snow has vanished, there are a few slow stirrings of new life in the garden, and as ...

I've not been doing a lot of photography of late. This has been a trend with me for a while, even before we were encouraged to stay home. I just don't seem to be getting out for photos, aside fr...

Around  here, we're two weeks in to the new reality of quietly keeping to ourselves. This hasn't been much of a reach for me, aside from considerations about purchasing food for ourselves, the ...

I've not being doing a lot of photography lately, not even my back-lane dog walk shots. It got unseasonably warm for a bit, then extremely cold, and as a result the back lanes were so icy I didn'...

This is our dog Shaka's "gotcha" day. One year ago today we met her at a rescue in Alberta and brought her home to be part of our family. It had been two long months since we lost our last Boxer...

I'm not a person that is particularly affected by the conditions of our long prairie winters...cold, damp, snow, cloud. fog, wind, brilliant sunshine...but it is starting to feel like January ha...

https://judywoodartphotography.blogspot.com/2020/01/forever-january.html

It has been bitterly cold here since my last post of a couple of weeks ago. We've had low temperatures (low minus 20s to low minus 30s) and wind, which made it feel like the low minus 40s and mi...

On we march into the new year and decade, hi ho, hi ho. The big world continues to fall apart at an alarming rate, and I try to maintain my sanity and a little bit of optimism by focussing on my...

I've managed to cram in Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and a birthday since last week's post. Not actually as busy a time as that makes it sounds, but it's been fun. Christmas eve is u...

If any readers of the "official" Blogger  (i.e. not my repost on my fb page) version of this blog have left comments on any of my posts in the past year (or so!), I need to apologize. I was tot...

I don't seem to be getting a lot of shots of late. Since the cold set in, my interest in going outside and wandering around with a camera, which was at a bit of a low anyway, has really gone dow...

This is the time of year when the prairies experience late sunrises, early sunsets, and lovely warm golden light in the late afternoons, on the days when we are lucky enough to *have* sunlight, ...

https://judywoodartphotography.blogspot.com/2019/12/warm-light-cold-winds.html

Most of today's photos are pretty low key, if not actually dull. We haven't seen the sun for any length of time in a while, and so far this week is looking like more of the same. It has warmed u...

I've reached the point, now that it's almost mid-November, where I have given up hoping that "this cold spell" will depart, giving us a few more weeks of bland and warmish fall weather. I've bee...

Just a quick check-in this evening before I get back to finishing artwork. The one and only sales market I do annually is coming up starting Friday, and as per usual I have a lot of work to get ...

https://judywoodartphotography.blogspot.com/2019/10/winter-has-come.html

We're on about the third installation attempt for fall, the first two having failed to take due to the snow and cold temperatures that seemed more winter-like. If we run out of successful tries ...

Last week I promised photos from day two of the weekend photo workshop I was on. This one was to various "abandoned" prairie sites west and south of the city. As I look at these shots today, hav...

 Apparently I am mildly cursed this evening. First I had to spend way too long trying to get access to my own blog account, since I seem to have been unaccountably shut out of it from last week ...
