Here I am with week 34 and another round of photos for my �Project 366�. This week�s collection is all about unusual, fascinating and entertaining things I�ve spotted with camera in hand in this incredible world of ours. It is one of my favourite photography themes and it�s been a while since I shared these types of images. I hope you enjoy!

What I've learned this week:
The more I look, the more I see.
It�s always fun searching for these types of images. They are quite entertaining.
Digital cameras are the best. I�d be broke by now using film!
We are getting ready to wrap up August. Unbelievable.


That�s all for today. Have a good one, everyone!

�It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.�

- Henry David Thoreau -

Whenever I�m out and about, I often notice some interesting, unusual, fascinating and even amusing things that are fun to photograph. Like the ones below...

Is it tires over logs? Or logs through tires? Things that make me go hmmm...

A striking mural of Sir John A. McDonald; the first Prime Minister of Canada. (Seen in downtown Napanee, Ontario)

Oooh...a spy hole! Shall we take a peek?

How come they don't stop and say hello? (Seen in Belleville, Ontario)

"Super size me" flower pots in Ottawa, Ontario.

The highly anticipated (and appetizing) sequel to 'Life of Pi'. (Spotted in Ottawa, Ontario)

Two thumbs up for a bench that sits on logs.

A sundial in the garden of Casa Loma in Toronto. Isn't this the coolest thing?

Happy Thursday, blogging pals!

�Photographers are violent people. First they frame you, then they shoot you, then they hang you on the wall.�

Some of my best outings are those that include interesting, unusual, fascinating and even amusing sightings that I can photograph. Like the ones below...

A determined little plant pushes its way through rocks and shells at the beach.

Covered in spider webs. Creepy...

Behind a bench at a bus stop with no garbage can nearby. Notice that it's mostly Tim Horton's coffee cups?

The reflection of buildings on another building's glass windows.

The making of a horror film. Super creepy.

A disgruntled shopper?

Yeah, big friggin' deal.

Baseball caps are useful in many ways.

Make it a great day, everyone!

�If you saw a man drowning and you could either save him or photograph the event...what kind of film would you use?�

- Anonymous -

When I started paying attention to my surroundings, really paying attention, photography became that much more enjoyable. Because that�s when I began noticing some interesting, unusual, fascinating and even amusing things.

Like in the images below:

Colourful shops brighten up the street.

What you see when you look up through a hydro tower (transmission tower).

The first time in my life I've ever seen Purple Martins. Can you say excited?

Wow, kids are quite sophisticated with their sidewalk drawings these days.

An old phone booth. How cool is this?

Unbeknownst to me at the time, this fish is kissing my a$$. (Photo by the most amazing man in the world.)

How often do you see a warning like this? People actually made this sign necessary.

You've been warned...

A beautiful day, to all!

"I don't go out looking for pictures. I go out, and if something catches my eye, that's reason enough to photograph it."

- Henry Wessel -

So here we are once more with the second post from my new blog theme where I share some of the interesting, unusual, fascinating and even amusing things I see when I�m out and about. And although some of these photos may not be photographically �successful�, they capture life�s extraordinary ordinary moments.

Here we go...

Christmas year round in this store! My kind of place.

Meanwhile in Canada...

Wasps will build a home just about anywhere.

Looks like this squirrel got the Midas touch.

After the 'Get Smart' television series ended, Agent 99 opened a retail store in Kingston.
(Click here is you're not old enough to know about this comedy.)

Some people are not clear on what a rock garden really is.

Darn...a snake. How am I going to get by now?

Hmmm... People may get the wrong message here, don't you think?

Have a great day, everyone!

"I don't go out looking for pictures. I go out, and if something catches my eye, that's reason enough to photograph it."

- Henry Wessel -

I take a lot of photographs, and share only the ones that are my favourites, or technically and visually better. But a lot of my photos are not photographically �successful� because I don�t always snap shots as though I�m on a paid photo shoot. Sometimes I take a photograph because I notice something unusual or fascinating or even entertaining, and I want to capture that fleeting moment and visit it again and again.

As of today, I�ll be starting a new blog theme where I�ll share some of the interesting things I see when I�m out and about. And although some images may not be �technically right�, they are perfect in the most important way of all:
they capture life�s extraordinary ordinary moments.

Here are some of the things I've seen...

I spotted this beautiful graffiti while visiting my hometown of Montreal.

Your camera will reveal miniature invasions. (This kind of freaks me out.)

How often do you see public phones these days? They are indeed a rare sight.

A sewer cover looks a little like a labyrinth, don't you think?

A curious raccoon playing peek-a-boo with my camera lens.

You may be lovin' it, but the cows sure aren't.

A fence made out of doors. Can you spot the photographer?

Owl decoy effectiveness? FAIL...

I hope you enjoyed this new photography theme, and I�d love if you would post interesting sightings on your own blogs.

Happy Thursday to all!
