The Letter L, Brought to You by Leslie

Last Friday, October first, I spent a lovely morning sipping a Starbucks' Americano Misto (light, extra hot) and nibbling on homemade muffins with my friend who's going through chemo. After lunch and doing all my crossword puzzles, I decided it was too lovely a day to stay inside. So off I went, camera in hand again, for a lively stroll around the neighbourhood. This time, I took a slightly different route and kept the letter "L" in mind as I perused possible photographic possibilities. (Gee, maybe this should be for the week of the letter P...) But, I digress. Lots of things popped out at me (oops, there I go again with the letter P...) and I had a great time. I've put the photos together in a little slide show for you all and hope you have as lovely a time watching as I had doing it.

    Lovely slideshow. Your flowers were beautiful and I loved the one of you and the lattice work. Even the litter was a perfect post. Lots of fun!

    Love the slide show, Leslie. Sorry people are leaving leftovers on your lovely lawn.
    My favourite picture is the bent basketball stand.

    It is not a lovely day here. I try to get my 14 year old son to go outside, and he says, Too cold.
