Sunshine came softly through my a-window today. ~ Donovan Leitch

Sunshine did indeed pour itself softly and gently through my window on this early spring morning. Misty air rose up to greet the golden orb, casting a hazy veil to settle over the awakening city.

A wood frame which holds dried flowers under glass was in position to be illuminated by this amber light.

A few minutes later, the light fog had burned away, leaving in its place a fleeting but vibrant sky.

Carol Anne and I made plans to wander the nearby town of Lakefield which is home to Lock 26 of the Trent-Severn Waterway.

The water below was forceful and loud.
Here, see and hear for yourself - fifteen seconds of water power.

Wandering around town, we found a shop that sold these fairy doors as recently seen across the pond in Maggie May's blog.

I think "quirky" would best describe some of the artistic expressions around town.

Despite being a definite eye-catcher, this sure isn't much of a happy existence for a fish.

Fuzzy pussy willows - a sure sign of spring.

And while we're in feline mode, my neighbour's cat, Oliver is a fuzzy, purring lump of love.
More photos coming up before too much longer.
