Hey everyone, As you may have noticed, I haven’t been active on here for the past 6 months or so and, unfortunately, I’ve decided to cease posting to this blog. I started Bookmarkedpages in high school and was one of the best decisions I made. It was one of those small decisions that made a big… Continue reading Farewell
REVIEW While I certainly watched the original animated movie as a child, I have no exceptionally fond memories of it, nor did I watch it enough times to remember it very well. I was, however, well-versed in the Beauty and the Beast storyline – it’s always been my favourite out of the princess fairy tales.… Continue reading Movie Review: Beauty and the Beast
Guildwood Park is like something out of a dream or fairytale or both. It used to be the home of a couple who collected remnants of early 20th-century buildings for their garden. Today it’s used as a wedding and festival venue, and the grounds – with hiking trails and all the weirdly wonderful structures – are open… Continue reading Fairytale Garden: A Photo Essay From Guildwood Park
REVIEW The Gallery is a mature, smart, and engaging read, straddling the line between middle grade and young adult. It’s half mystery, half historical fiction and combines historical events, literary references, art history, mythology, religion, sexism, prejudice, insanity, family issues, and politics. All these disparate topics are well balanced and the novel never strays too far… Continue reading Review: The Gallery by Larua Marx Fitzgerald

We had the front door open so Rider could watch the cars and people going by as he waited for my mom to come home. His impatience and weariness (and love of posing for the camera) made him an excellent subject for some photos. Rider has white fur so converting the images to black and white… Continue reading Waiting: A Photo Essay

“The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best” ~ Henry van Dyke ~ Summer means birds visiting our garden, and between the three feeders we’ve hung up and the soil crowded with grubs and worms, our garden hasn’t stayed quiet for long this year. I’ve… Continue reading June Birds
I love taking pictures of flowers, and definitely feel like they are one of my photographic strengths. I enjoy playing around with depth-of-field and isolating the prettiest blooms in order to get the best possible composition. I then edit them in Photoshop by darkening the background a little to make the flowers pop. Please don’t share… Continue reading May Flowers – Part Two
