Tulip-tastic

The Land That Ugly Forgot ― Playing around with the somewhat contrasting combination of desaturation and sunlight. Aren't tulips pretty? I'd love to be able to stand in a sea of them in Holland. Maybe I'd find something like that at Butchart or VanDusen Gardens? Can't wait for... (More)

Orange You Glad

The Land That Ugly Forgot ― Sunlight is an excellent mood-improver. Tulips brighten a day. Combine sunlight and tulips, and you can't help but smile. (More)

Half Apron Inspiration

The Land That Ugly Forgot ― Tutorials abound on the internet for those wanting to learn something new. For me lately it's been sewing. I'm a beginner, and it's hard to find beginner-level directions to sew things properly that aren't hokey and/or look obviously homemade. This... (More)

Scales and Spines

The Land That Ugly Forgot ― I met prehistoric-looking Iguana on a recent trip. Look at those lips! They look pretty moist compared to the rest of him. My skin gets dry and scaly this time of year too... from the cold though, not the heat as he faces everyday. (More)

Follow the Orange-Leaf Road

The Land That Ugly Forgot ― If Stanley Park had a version of its own Wizard of Oz, the characters would follow this instead of a yellow-brick road. (More)

Repetition for the Eyes

The Land That Ugly Forgot ― Patterns in nature make up very interesting exercises for the eyes. The gradation in colour here emulates a sunset, changing from yellow at the centre apex to red towards the bottom. Discover other cool photos along the same lines of patterns in... (More)

I Can’t Believe They’re Gluten-Free Muffins

The Land That Ugly Forgot ― Tender! Chewy! And..... *drum roll + loud cymbal* gluten-free muffins that stay soft for days! No more baking disappointment of GF muffins that crumble and dry up after they cool off out of the oven, or muffins that taste like they're "different". It... (More)

Have a Seat… If You Can Find It

The Land That Ugly Forgot ― How fun! Tons and tons of leaves to play in as far as the eye can see! Who knows what kind of buried treasures could lie beneath. (More)

Waddling Through the Leaves

The Land That Ugly Forgot ― A beautiful and vibrant sight, nothing says autumn more than bountiful harvest colours like these. With a goose thrown in of course, just to reiterate that this is Canada after all. (More)

Ain’t So Fresh Anymore

The Land That Ugly Forgot ― I don't think I'd be bothered as much by getting older if I aged gracefully like these guys. Here's some newly acquired fresh cut gerbera daisy flowers upon arrival... ... then after a few days of enjoyment at home. Still pretty and interesting: (More)

A Resounding Sigh (of Disappointment)

Red Punch

The Land That Ugly Forgot ― A bit of rouge never hurt anybody. I'm always impressed by how a colour can instantly change a mood or communicate. To me this one says, "At-ten-tion!". (More)

Trumpeting Along

The Land That Ugly Forgot ― A symbol of elegance and beauty, calla lily blooms have an interesting construction: simple, sturdy and curvy. These bulbs generally need to be winterized in Canada, although people often report forgetting the bulbs in the ground and finding that the... (More)

Flawed by Nature

The Land That Ugly Forgot ― As beautiful as a flower may be, it's imperfections like these petals on the verge of dropping that make particular stems so much more interesting and appealing. (More)

Clouding Over

From the Bottom Up

Please the Bees

The Land That Ugly Forgot ― Here's a close look at some bees busy on some pink flowers. Or perhaps it's the same bee who's extra busy on a number of flowers. Assuming the flower is as tasty to the bee as the sumptuous pink colour looks, it's no wonder the bees were crawling all... (More)

Pineda Throws a Pitch

The Land That Ugly Forgot ― Here's Michael Pineda of the Seattle Mariners pitching. The expression is enough of a visual intimidation factor for me. It says whatever he's throwing, it's going to be really, really fast. (More)

Ready, Set, Fight!

The Land That Ugly Forgot ― I'm used to old-fashioned things like three-legged races, frisbee toss and face painting at festivals and social gatherings. Nowadays the thing seems to be sumo wrestling. You put on these heavy, inflatable-like weighted suits and go against an... (More)

Past Due Date

The Land That Ugly Forgot ― Even when past prime, things can still have beauty all in their own. This was taken in natural light against some whiteboard. The original was a blue vase and orangey-red flower. I referred to a colour wheel and switched it up a bit to the... (More)

Meeting in the Evening

Minty Fresh

The Land That Ugly Forgot ― I see stylized photos of flowers in stores and I think they're pretty cool. So why not take some real photos of my own and play around with them in photoshop to give a fabricated feel. An Andy Warhol-esque picture is in my future. Topic: Gerberas, of... (More)

Blooming Watercolour

Grandi-rose

Ouch

The Land That Ugly Forgot ― Here's an interesting plant that looks rather vicious and painful if you were to reach out and grab it. The spiders don't seem to mind it though given the webbing covering parts of it. The spikes probably serve to trap lots of little critters for... (More)

Supertunia

Gazania Droplets

The Land That Ugly Forgot ― Gazania flowers open and close with the daylight and are a drought-resistant flower. After a light morning sprinkle and before the heat of the day evaporated them, water droplets settled on Gazania petals in the back garden. (More)
