Louella Lester – Seeing and learning while holding camera and pen between me and the world.
One morning in late September it was very foggy in Winnipeg. Normally I would have been out the door, with my camera, rather quickly, but I had a one hour online meeting. By the time I got outside the sun had come upon and had burned through much of the mist. I did manage to …
When I walk in my neighbourhood I often look down, not just to find photo opportunities, but so I don’t step on dog messes. There are lots of high-rise apartment buildings nearby and a lot of the people in them seem to own dogs that walk the sidewalks with them. Anyway, looking down does offer …
I almost always carry my camera when I walk or ride my bike somewhere. And that's a lot of the time because I got rid of my car many years ago. I was walking to meet a friend one morning and I came upon a rabbit seated beside a car. At least I thought it …
I just liked the way these small shaped trees looked against the wall of an apartment building I was walking past. I liked them in silver tone, too. So, I thought I’d share them. Enjoy! If you go to the website menu you can click to find links to my published writing and photos, as …
Today, I’m sharing indoor shots of my lamps, because I like lamps, but also because I haven’t been outdoors wandering as much to take photos with all the wildfire smoke we’ve been experiencing this summer. You may have seen some of these lamp shots before, but some are new. Enjoy! If you go to the …
We were wandering about at The Forks in Winnipeg and I, who can never pass up taking photos of vines, took some outside of the Manitoba Theatre for Young People. Enjoy! If you go to the website menu you can click to find links to my published writing and photos, as well as information about …
When you live in a rented apartment there are many things you have little control over, but you also don’t have to worry about paying repair bills for sudden issues. All you have to do is call the apartment manager and it’s their problem. One of the things I don’t have much control over in …
One of my favourite things, when I was a kid growing up on the shores of Lake Winnipeg, was to search for pussy willows in the spring. Recently, I was thrilled to see a vase of them at a friend’s house. I held some against a wall and took photos. When editing the photos I …
I once worked up north in Saskatchewan, as a weather observer for Environment Canada, figuring out the type and height of the clouds, as well as taking readings for temperature, humidity, etc., making calculations, and sending that info to people back in Winnipeg, Manitoba, who used the data to forecast the weather. So, my eyes …
A few weeks ago I was walking over to a friend's place when I passed by a cinderblock fence that was certainly livened up by wood latticework leaning against it and some purple flowers up front. The sun shining through didn’t hurt either. Enjoy! If you go to the website menu you can click to …
