A Fractal Gem for the New Year

... thought I'd get things started for the year with another fractal odyssey. The following slide-show is the result of 'tinkering' with ONE little ol' fractal. The possibilities are, by fractal definition, endless ...    ENJOY!

From canadadaPHOTOGRAPHY

p.s. For more information & additonal visuals about 'fractals' on this blog, type 'fractals' in the SEARCH box on the right ...

Here's an alternate 'viewing tablet'. I'm still TRYING to figure out which is the BEST of these video formats. No sooner do I figure one out with all the bells & whistles when they re-design it!!

Vimeo seems to have done just that since I last tried them out ....

Since this location is a stone's throw from here, it's kinda fun to know that such world famous people were trotting around the neighbourhood. This broadcast brought to you from 'The Royal Channel' on 'YouTube'.

Fall Colours 2009






... colours are splendid at the moment ...
a mini slide show follows...


Fun with Polaroids-!





... the walk-about ... VIDEO

NB: Dateline: Oct 22th, 2009: If you are seeing 'no video' or are receiving a 'jerky, jittery' video, don't despair. VIMEO is experiencing 'technical difficulties' ... I've been assured this will be 'fixed' in the next few days ... I'm leaving this video up 'as is' until the end of the month so they can perform their techno-magic. Will see where it's all at then (...geesh. comPUTahhhs...)



The summer of 2009 was lousy here, weather-wise. Fall has been better, but, even so, kinda pukey. There WERE, however, a few stellar days during September that kinda made one want to go SILLY!

Sooooooo, guess what?
Yup, I went on a short & silly 'walk-about'.

As you can see, there's nothing very SERIOUS here, nothing EARTH SHATTERING, BIG or BREAKING!! I is just offering a quiet little five minutes two-step shuffle between me, my Self and I.

... sometimes those really are the BEST moments ...
