The last Day of 2010

We had a gang over for New Years Eve and we had a fun time. Played Way of Peace and Taboo. We are not very good at Taboo - well Allison is, but the rest of us need a little more practice because um, um, oh, oh, um is not a very good clue.

My recent bride and friend Jessica and her new husband gave us this little tree ornament with wine glass charms on them. They worked - not one person lost their wine glass last night. They even worked on the martini glasses. Cute eh?

And while I was at it I took a few photos of the spotted wine glass - cause I like how it looked with the festive decorations. I think this one goes in the istock file whenever I get around to to the istock thing. But first I have to finish the book on it that I am reading.

Taboo and food and laughing.

And do you believe this girl? She slept 5 min over the 6 hrs they were here and was happy and smiley all night. Wearing a new super soft sleeper from Aunt Cathy. She has such a cheerful, content disposition. I warned her parents that this is not the norm and the next one was sure to be a screamer.

I just think they should be prepared. Don't you?

Happy New Year!!

CHECK out the 365 BLOG - I am back at it again for another 365 days of photo taking. Am I crazy? Probably!

Road Trip

My sweethert wisked me off to Edmonton for the weekend.
To do NOTHING!!
And it was wonderful.
Didn't take my DSLR out until this morning.
Imagine that!
These first two photos were take at 120 kph....

We had breakfast in this restaurant this morning. It was good food but WAY over priced! David wouldn't let me look at the bill.

He just told me I was worth it.

......such a charmer this guy of mine!

Sutherland Beach

I took a day off work yesterday. I just needed it.
Picked up the gear and went for a short walk with my friend Canon along Sutherland beach.
70-200 came too. As a matter of fact, 70-200 did most of the 'talking'

Another warm day in Vancouver

Having a grand time in Vancouver ... on Granville Island.

Downtown Vancouver from Granville Island



baby is quite content to stay put.

Now that is some cement truck. Very eco green friendly.
Was going to make this my 365 photo but the train passing by at Whiterock was just very cool.

Check it out here.

This is what the restaurant served my coffee in this morning.

Think it means something?

Early morning walk in the forest

Can't you just smell that moist fresh mountain forest air?

The sun was hitting the fir tree behind this little guy. Made for a nice backdrop.

Outline of spider against bright sunny leaves in a dark forest.

Read the sign. I mean, it was low tide but um ....

On the way to the forest trail we passed some workers at a golf course playing with giant Lego. Now this is a job a few kids would love to have!

The golf course from my perspective.

And I am rally quite content to be behind the fence with my camera.

Enjoying absolutely fabulous weather here. You know, the warm sunny stuff we usually get in Saskatchewan but didn't this year.

For my best spider shot, visit My Life in 365 Days

oh, and no baby yet.... we are trying not to talk about it. :) But Mom is looking and feeling fabulous.

Vancouver beach walk

Here are some photos from today's hike at Crescent beach and the 1000 steps down to the ocean at Boundary Bay.

A very expensive but delicious lunch at Crescent Beach Bistro.

One of my favorites, shooting into the sun, with a flash, no editing.
