This week I am taking some time to tag along with Ailsa across the world to FRAME THE WORLD in my camera lens. To see how others have framed the world click the underlined link and rocket over to “Where’s My Backpack?”
Here are my frames:

This wisteria makes an elegant frame on a rainy day.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Treat
In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Treat.”
Well Trick or Treat has come and gone. While I don’t celebrate Halloween I do have to say it’s never the wrong time for a treat!
A whole table of seasonal treats!
I am looking forward to the treat of Thanksgiving. It’s not just the food but the family and the quiet that settles on us after a good dinner.
Until then I imagine I will treat myself daily to my favorite treat of all…good coffee.

Hats a Go-Go Or Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge
This week, Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge is all about those items which keep the heat from escaping from our heads or the sun from burning it. See HATS A GO-GO HERE AT CEE’S SITE.
My fun with hats is outlined below…
The hat must fit the expression.
or the occasion.
For instance this hat should never be warn before Dec. 12th or after Dec. 25th.
Ths hat, however, is entirely appropriate for airport wear any time of the year. IF YOU’RE A TELETUBBY!
It is also important when choosing a hat to consider the proper accesories.
…And when one should not accessorise at all. This “granny belt” was one of my poor choices.
The right hat can communicate for us those things we wish others to know but could never say.
For instance, this hat says, “I really hate my job.”
This one says, “I think we should have chosen a different place to eat.”
This hat says, “I may be fat but I am cool.”
And this hat says… Yeah I got nothin. 🙂

Festival Of Leaves Week #7
Well this was taken with my phone and it’s not really clear but it is vibrant. I love the oranges this year. Some years they just don’t pop as well and if you were really close to this tree you would see it isn’t really orange but spots of yellow and red that from a distance blend to look orange.

The Everyday and the Mundane: Photo Challenge
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “(Extra)ordinary.”
There is a song I love to sing, by Matt Redman, called “Your Grace Finds Me”
The second verse says,
It’s there on the mountaintop
There in the everyday and the mundane
There in the sorrow and the dancing
Your great grace, Oh such grace.His grace can be seen in every little thing if we just take the time to look.
His grace can be found: In the unflagging loyalty of man’s best friend;
In the blessing of color that comes from a simple cold snap mixed with a plain green leaf;
In an ordinary meal shared amongst friends;
And in one single very out of the way life that changed everything.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Murals
We are in the second week of Cee’s “MANMADE CHALLENGE” and this week she has asked us to show her murals.
C.cada is the artist’s ministry of our church. A few months ago I asked our artists a question, “What is your God project?”
Several of our artists took up the challenge and donated their time and talents to refurbish the playroom in our local pediatrics ward.
Here are the results
Artist Lisa Johnson and her section.
Artist Elijah Haas at his post.
Ken Knowlton and his train.
