Bumble Bee and Aster

I love this photo.

Back in September the bumble bees were just loving the Asters, the Sedum blooms, and my raspberries. I had a lot of great opportunities to capture the large flying bumbling insects as they visited my flowers.

This photo is one of a happy bumble bee visiting my New York Asters.

New York Asters are perennial asters. The plant grows to about three feet tall and at least two feet in diam. and from mid August into early September hundreds and hundreds of buds begin to form. When they do bloom the plant is covered in lovely delicate looking pale mauve flowers. I only wish they were scented.

Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information.

The little red car speed on by

Ha! I bet a lot of you did Christmassy stuff didn’t ya? Me? Nope … you know I’ve always gotta be different.

This is a photo that I took on bright sunny summer day. Look at that blue sky! We were driving in our car on a busy thoroughway called the QEW or Queen Elizabeth Way in Toronto, near Lake Ontario. I was lucky the photo didn’t blur. In fact it was so sharp that I put a little motion blur where the car is in a couple versions of this photo to give it more interest. But this version- it works for this theme … bright vibrant red, speeding along on a sunny summer day.

If you are a photo scavenger hunt participant please feel free to leave a link. All other links will be removed. Please do NOT link and RUN. I really really hate that.

Whats been happening with Tricia’s Musings lately

December 7, 2006 by Tricia

Thirteen Things about What’s been happening

This is Thursday Thirteen #27

1…. Some how I’ve managed to be listed over at The bestest Blog of all time as the Bestest blog of the day – Today.

2…. One thing that made him notice my site was that he was visiting Technorati and looking up sites that he links to or that linked to him and he says that my site had the most links out of all of the blogs he lists on his site. Actually I’ve been watching my Technorati rank lately and I’m pleased to say that I’ve reached the rank of 994 on Technorati. That’s amazing!

3…. I just finished doing an interview for Matt Clarke’s blog Mr. Joe’s Blog and to my amazement he published it right away So I’m being featured on two sites today. Coolness.

4…. While I was writing up that blog interview I filled in another one that had been sent to me by Blog TO. That’s a site about all the goings on in Toronto. I don’t know when it will be posted but when it is it will be featured in their Blogerati section.

5…. A few weeks ago I was invited to become a team member over at a blog called 192 Countries. The site owner wanted to get one blogger from 192 Countries to write in his blog and he choose me to write for Canada. I’m all signed up but I’ve yet to create a post over there. I need to make some time later today to do that.

6…. What else has been going on? Oh I’ve been working on Mr Fabs blogs – 4 of them! Remember folks I’m starting to work on peoples blog themes and doing sidebar fixes etc so if you need some help I’d be happy to help you for a small fee.

7…. As I weren’t busy enough I’ve been working on creating three new blogs. One will be my husbands and the other two will be mine. They’re called Celebrity Scoop, The Web Files and Guitar Licks. Guess which one is my husbands?

8…. In the middle of November I stumbled across 451press and I saw that they were going to be accepting new bloggers in a week. I bookmarked the site and went back and applied to write a television related blog. I just found out last week that I was accepted. So add another blog to the list of blogs that I’m writing or write on, this one is called Watching House and it’s about the television show House MD. I’ll be filling it with juicy tidbits about Hugh Laurie for all his fans out there. Come see the new blog.

9…. I’ve been feeling very guilty about not visiting all the Wordless Wednesday, Thursday Thirteen, Photo Scavenger hunt people or my blogging friends lately. I’ve just been so busy and on top of that I’m really not feeling well. I’m sorry. I will get back to all of my regular visits soon. I will.

10…. Nothing much else has been happening in my world. I’ve officially been off work with my Crohns for just over a year. Boooooooo

11…. Chris is working in his new job. I think this is his third week. It’s not quite as busy as being a porter but being a Recovery room attendant has been keeping him busy. The hours are regular and we should start seeing slightly larger paychecks coming in from his work soon. Yahhhh

12…. As usual I’ve been up pretty much of the night. This time though I fell asleep on the couch at about 10:30 just as I was going to start working on Fabs sites. Yep sorry Fab, it seems that whenever I’m working on your sites I get sleepy. I did have a huge headache though so that might have been part of it too.

13…. Nothing else is happening. I’m busy enough I think, I don’t need any other major stuff to be happening.

Please only list your name if you have a recent Thursday Thirteen post

Grrr forget the Mr Linky I had an apostrophe in “What’s” in the title earlier and when I saved the post and continued editing it would let me set up Mr. Linky because Mr Linky doesn’t like apostrophes or question marks Grrr

A shave and a haircut

December 6, 2006 by Tricia

Wordless Wednesday

Uh I think this is taking things too far:

01

Would you just look at that face? I wouldn’t blame this cat if it attacked the person that did this to it. Oh maybe that’s why the job looks like it’s half done?

Is this some new kind of fashion trend for cats? Was someone trying to make the poor thing look more like a poodle or what? I wish I had a side photo so that we could see the tail and find out if the person left it bushy or shaved half of it. I think I’d be terribly embarrassed if my cat looked like this one does.

Yet another Rose

Yves Piaget

This rose is the lovely Yves Piaget, from the Romantica Rose Series.

It has a light yet heavenly scent, full multi-petaled blooms and a dusty rose color. The blooms last approximately 5 to 7 days.

I was just thinking that with about 60 different rose plants I could put a photo up on all my site each day for a whole year or more with all the photographs that I’ve taken of them over the last few years. Hmmm well it’s an idea anyway. LOL

Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information.
