If you find Corbeau du Nord's photo compelling then I bet you'll really enjoy a visit to the University of Guelph Arboretum - currently decked out in springs finest foliage.

Bring you camera.

Blog Guelph: Sun Kissed


sun kissed, originally uploaded by freckle'sphotos.

Welcome to Thursday's edition of
Made in Guelph


Today we introduce you to Katherine Siebert, AKA freckle'sphotos.
Some of you may recall her former Flickr handle, Edeva.
This name and all that it means still applies to her world outside of her abundant Flickr photostream as is evidenced on her blogspot, edeva.ca
Here's a little slice of her bio...

"Katherine gets huge daily doses of testosterone as she raises two beautiful boys alongside her husband. Katherine is passionate about the empowerment of women and is devoted to making this happen through edeva.ca. Katherine and her family now reside in Guelph, Ontario and share their family home with two fantastic housemates."

What I can tell you about Katherine is that her life appears rich with nature, friends, family, children, art and great causes. When you browse these 9 shots, witness the joy that lies therein...

(then click to see the 1000's more!)

Blog Guelph: Blue Dragonfly


blue dragonfly, originally uploaded by ~Stingrays~.

A happy Tuesday to you all,

Thank goodness for our Empress of All Things Blog Guelph, Sue Richards, who yesterday filled us with extremely useful tidbits of information and local newsy items. Thank goodness because today we veer off that course for a bit of a non-informational, visual treat only.

I'm sure you, like me, have been spotting the return of the insect world lately. They've crept out of their cocoons, eggs, underground hidey-holes and what-have-you to heed the call of the bursting forth garden blooms and ever so juicy bare human arms.

Welcome to all things BUG.

I sincerely hope these images don't creep or freak you out in any way but c'mon, you do have to admire the magnificent quality of each find...
So sit right back and enjoy these nine natural, macro-fantastic shots.
(Ok, well Stingrays blue dragonflies here are of the plastic variety but I swear, all else is real.) All you have to do is click on each pic for proof.

Enjoy!
-Downtown Lynn-

Blog Guelph: Guelph Grass


blades, originally uploaded by vw-busman.

Happy Monday people and welcome to a newsy edition of Blog Guelph.

To start out this nine pic posting we have the Grass Report.

Thanks to Saturday's overdue and somewhat late April Showers all living grass in Guelph is now green. And thanks to Linamar, Guelph's largest employer, there are now eco friendly mowers to cut said grass down to size.

Of course we cannot speak of grass without mentioning the much debated lawn drugs - commonly known as cosmetic pesticides. The city has this bylaw in place for those of you tending 'grow yards'.

So then, grab a java and see what else is new-see-ish in Guelph World. Click the pics, stroll through the Blog Roll and do some shopping. Then, if it's not too much trouble, tell someone about Blog Guelph.
