Summer Days

This summer is shaping up to be a nice one. 

Up at the lake with friends.....

 Oh yes - enjoying the lake and the sunshine... and my sweetheart. 

 Spoiled by our hosts Linda and Gerry

 Catching shots of their nephew sea-dooing. 

Really, there is a sea-doo under that water. Somewhere. 

oh! There it is. 

And Gerry Sea-dooing 

And their nephew discussing life with some....friends. 

Night shot. 

Had a wonderful, restful time and ate way too much.  

Summer Days

Man, it is hot and humid!

 Eva LOVES the water but will NOT put her feet on the sand.

 Plum tuckered out.

 Tanis loves the water and the sand. Having fun with Grandpa

 Eva with Grandpa and Great Grandma

I love Grandpa

 Poker Game - Coney tradition

Harold won the pot.

Road Trip 2010

 Put together some of my fav photos from our road trip to the coast this past August.

Photo shoot today

Transformed the living room into my studio today. Managed to sync three lights perfectly. Thrilled with the results of adding gels to my back light.
Call me if you want to look this beautiful. :)

Perfect Day

A few weekends ago we spent the day with friends up at their cottage at Wakaw. The day started with a 7:15 am tee off time. The morning was perfect, the sun warm, the breeze refreshing and we didn't see any mosquitoes. We couldn't have ordered in a more perfect day.
Dave shot one of his best rounds.
We won't talk about my golf....

Took this on the drive up. I think the most beautiful photos are taken at sunrise and sun set.

After golf we were treated to one heck of a hungry man's breakfast - what wasn't there?

Pancakes, eggs, sausage, ham, bacon, fruit, hash browns, muffins.... did I leave anything out?

Then off to the lake to sit on the dock - there were some pretty blue dragonflies  - which explains why I didn't see any mosquitoes.

Some fun on the water....

Some fun on the dock..... Coconut Mojito...mmmmm

Water Fight

ahhh summer

 

Sammy lost..... obviously.

Notice he tends to be running in the opposite direction?

Fabulous Day

Set out early this am for a coffee date at City Perk, then off on a bike ride along the river, to farmers market to pick up fiddle heads, dropped off the photos for my most recent bride (whew - glad that is finally done), then home to four hrs of yard work to make the place look so inviting.

  We came across a skateboarding Park on our bike ride....very cool!

I am going to have to go back to this skate boarding park because the photo ops are really quite amazing.....but dear husband can only wait so long for me to find that perfect angle.....

 

Then it was off to Farmers Market where they always have some entertainment for the shoppers.

This guy was hanging around the yard all day - he has a nest near our back door and I think there are brand new babies he/she? is feeding. But I haven't heard them yet. There were actually two Robins flying around us and into the nest today.

Now that is a mouth full!

I think the other bird is expecting the Robin to share - but it ain't going to happen.

 A perfect end to a perfect day  - we cooked up the fiddle heads along with some BBQ chicken, potatoes and carrots and sat out on the deck to enjoy the fruits of our labours.
Thankful for the health and energy to work with our hands. 

Jammin' Bros

I survived without internet for three whole days this past week and I did just fine - I managed to finish reading my book about haunted homes in Charleston.
Last week we took an unexpected road trip to Wpg to attend our sister- in-law's funeral.
While the occasion was very sad indeed, it was a blessing to see all the brothers together and to watch them jammin' together.

Is there a glass of scotch in every photo? 

They played all their Beatles favs
.... and then.....

I imported those stripes from the actual Abbey Rd cover photo. Yeah Photoshop.

Been busy

Yeah, this work thing keeps getting in the way of the fun things in life so I haven't been bloggin lately. Just no time. I have been posting to my 365 blog, so if you want to know what I am up to take a look there. I post every day - because them thars the rules on a 365 blog.

Took this on the way home from work on Tuesday. I love the sun, the sky, the wheat, the wire fence and the snow. It is so very 'winter in Saskatchewan'. I may have to scrapbook this one.

Some Christmas photos

I taught her to spit.  I am working on Graaaam maaaa... but so far I just get squeals of delight.

 Our best Christmas gift this year.

Baby's first Christmas.

Missing Allison - who unfortunately picked up the flu Christmas morning.

  

The family room before the mad gift opening.

 

My fav gift from DH - this will make my 365 photo taking so much easier - it fits in my purse.

My favorite Christmas photo.....
