the tradition continues by summerfield

the tradition continues

@merrelyn and hubby graham (her official 365 lens holder) are in toronto today and tomorrow. anyone wants to connect with them just comment on one of merrelyn's photos to make arrangements. see https://365project.org/merrelyn/extras/2019-10-09

i brought them to the harbourfront and the flatiron building's mural. at harbourfront, we had the world famous beaver tail! and of course, it's not a complete 365 visit in toronto if you don't have a self portrait at the UofT arches.

tonight's jumbled up prompt turned out to be "silhouette" and this is an apt photo, is that not right?

"stranger things" is the topic over at five plus two. check us out: https://365project.org/fiveplustwo/365/2019-10-09 frankly, i didn't have any idea how to interpret the prompt and i had nightmares last night from processing that photo.

but what's really strange was that merrelyn knew me right away. those self-portraits really are sometimes useful, n'est-ce pas?

note: perspective correction done in camera, as well as cropping and conversion to black and white. handheld.
@merrelyn - here's you and graham.

it was very lovely to have met you and graham. if you're downtown and free at lunchtime tomorrow, let me know. i enjoyed the evening and hope you did, too!♥

October 10th, 2019  
Wonderful silhouettes! Work always seems to get in the way!
October 10th, 2019  
Beautiful arches and wonderful silhouettes. What a fun time it must have been.
October 10th, 2019

October 10th, 2019

@kwind - so come! we've been waiting for you!
October 10th, 2019  
@kwind it's fun!!! Vikki provided freezing rain for me!!! @merrelyn Vikki's a great hostess isn't she! @summerfield I'm a tad jealous, I want to return
October 10th, 2019  
wonderful capture one day that will be me !!!!
October 10th, 2019  
Nice use of the arches as framing.
October 11th, 2019  
sorry to have missed it... wouldn't have had a camera downtown in any event... and i too am swamped at work... glad you guys had fun - and this picture came out awesome!
October 11th, 2019  
Perfect silhouettes image. So good to catch up with fellow 365ers.
October 11th, 2019  
Nice shot
October 12th, 2019  
Sounds like a load of fun. Super cool silhouette too.
October 12th, 2019  
Great to have had this meet-up! Merrelyn had commented that they were going to Old Quebec City, but no point in stopping there! Everyone seems to be out globe trotting at every chance possible! I love this series that you've done!
October 15th, 2019  
WHAT FUN!! I love the energy in this silhouette and the wonderful framing in the architecture. @merrelyn -- heading to Chicago any time?
October 18th, 2019  
@jyokota Unfortunately not. We’re in New Zealand for a few days to break the journey before flying home on Wednesday.
October 18th, 2019  
Fun shot- looking forward to my turn in 2020 at some point.
October 18th, 2019  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond - i wasn't even a good host that time that merrelyn and graham came. i forgot to bring them to dinner! although we earlier had the famous beaver tails, because it was already late when we finished at the university arches, my mind was focussed on them getting back to rest and me going home as i needed to be early the next day. even though we talked about getting supper, my mind was already gone by the time i realized i, too, haven't had supper. i'm so embarrassed every time i think about it. :-P

@lesip @Weezilou @jyokota @olivetreeann
come one, come all, and soon! i'm nervous about all the construction going on at the campus. but maybe they'll spare it.
October 18th, 2019  
@summerfield They wouldn't dare lay a hand on the beauty of this place!!!
October 18th, 2019  
@Weezilou - they may or may not. it's a solitary structure, more like an open crypt, with names of probably some long ago dead alumni or donors all over that wall. what they might do is probably move it elsewhere. that's why i should be a bit more vigilant in making visits there so i know what's happening. back home yet?
October 19th, 2019  
@merrelyn -- I have a very close friend in Fremantle so I'm sure I'll be planning a trip out that way some day!
October 19th, 2019  
@jyokota Keep me posted, Fremantle is less than hour away from us. I’d love to catch up if you make it over here.
October 19th, 2019  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Vikki certainly is a wonderful host. We had a fabulous time with her.
October 19th, 2019  
@Weezilou bet they would!!! @jyokota merrelyn is also a great host and WA is a beautiful state to visit
October 19th, 2019  
@summerfield "Home" for the present is out on the open seas! A quiet place to work on my photos at last!!! (Feeling like a Nomad and loving it!)
October 19th, 2019  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond -- do you also live in WA?
October 21st, 2019  
@jyokota no in UK, but have a good friend in Perth!
October 21st, 2019  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond -- Taffy and I are planning to get to UK to visit 365ers but I also plan to get to Perth//Fremantle to visit my friend again there, too. Where n UK are you?
October 22nd, 2019  
@jyokota I am near the south coast near Portsmouth can get to London easily to meet if you feel the need to visit there to see the queen!!!
October 22nd, 2019  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond - unfortunately, the queen is stuck in Canada. :-D
October 22nd, 2019  
@summerfield could be worse, you could have The Glums(The Sussexes!)!
October 22nd, 2019  
@summerfield @30pics4jackiesdiamond -- I think there's a 365 gathering in London gathering steam . . . right?
October 22nd, 2019  
@jyokota - when is this? i'm itching to travel!
October 22nd, 2019  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond - jacks, consider returning the cat! :-D
October 22nd, 2019  
@summerfield I'll put her in kennels and give the house a proper clean ( oh no one called me jacks a second time,!!) When are you coming!!!!
October 22nd, 2019  
@summerfield @30pics4jackiesdiamond -- no concrete plans at this time. But taffy and I hope to get there "soon" -- maybe within 2020?
October 22nd, 2019
