Blog Guelph: The Cornerstone During the First Night of Spring
I think I need to do a post on the things I like about downtown. I'll save the in depth talk for another day, but I will say that I love the restaurants. LOVE. Recently we stopped in at Atmosphere just for a coffee and a dessert. I looked at the menu and had to have the french onion soup, and a friend across from me had two desserts. Yes, he had two all to himself. There was pizza shared on my right and a spanish coffee diagonally across.
You'll find some great art on the wall too. Check out Max's photos until the end of September.
Have a great Wednesday everyone!

Blog Guelph: Guelph Pottery Festival
Happy Hump Day all,
Blogstress Sue Richards and I are mixing it up a bit this week, and I find myself here on a most unfamiliar Wednesday. Never one to be thrown for too long, I'm seizing this opportunity to inform you about the upcoming Potters Market.
This delightful and very European festival of clay will be held on May 24 and 25 at Goldie Mill, near the almost bucolic babbling river. What better place than these fine mill ruins to feature the earthy works of at least 50 potters I say. It runs from 10am until 5pm rain or shine!
Check out these fine 8 pics from last years festival...
See you there,

Blog Guelph: Pine Grosbeak (Pinicola enucleator)
Welcome to Thursday's
Made in Guelph
Today we feature the keen eye and natural sensibilities of corbeau_du_nord , AKA Alan Watson.
Alan is our eyes and ears to the Arboretum at The University of Guelph, an avid bird watcher, daring cyclist, wicked outdoors guy and all around excellent man.
So excellent, in fact, that one year ago tomorrow, he purchased a Flickr pro account for me.
At this point in time he hardly knew me at all, so in response to his great generosity and kindness I made the following promises:
:: I will continue to look at the world carefully and now with a special pro eye.
:: I will view others photos with relish and offer gentle praise to their vision.
:: I will eventually pay this kindness forward.
(One year later - I'm trying Corbeau, I'm trying!)
According to his profile on Flickr, Alan's aura is red and he could have been a dancer, boxer or Surgeon. Who knows, maybe he actually is all of those things...wouldn't surprise me one bit.
I'm sure you'll all "relish" these 10 shots from his photostream as much as I do.
Merci Corbeau, tu es tres gentil.

Blog Guelph: Happy Canada Goose
It's Monday.
We finally have April showers and much cooler temperatures in this spring-that-seems-like-summer season. The birds are very happy. Trees are bursting forth and nature is putting on a show.
I've rustled up seven pics to help with your mood today - just in case you're Monday has you down like my Monday has me.
Best viewed with a steamy cup of Earl Grey tea with a gob of sweet milk.

Blog Guelph: The long road to summer
"Health Canada estimates two to three per cent of Canadians suffer from seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and another 15 per cent of Canadians suffer from a milder version simply known as the winter blues.
These seasonal conditions can affect moods, sleep patterns, appetites, energy levels and concentration."

Blog Guelph: Guelph Contemporary Dance Festival at Exhibition Park
Please accept my apologies for lax blogging over the last several days. Believe it or not, my home was invaded by a couple of red squirrels and their fleas. I wish I was joking - but in fact I had to move out of my house which includes my office.
While I sort out the damage to my home, my blogging will be irregular. But - and this is a juicy, delightful but - Blog Guelph will continue with a Guest Blogger! I'm not telling you who - so you'll just have to stay tuned to find out.
For today, I'm offering six images from the past weekend festival's that thrilled all that attended.
Remember to click the pic - leave comments - tell your friends about Blog Guelph - AND most importantly - watch out for flea-bag red squirrels with bad attitudes.
