up close and personal with nature

I spent a couple of lunchhours this week playing with my new camera. I wandered through the parks near my work and found some great flowers to take pictures of. It was cloudy most of the week, which is not my favorite for picture taking, but i guess you don't have to worry about shadows and glare and stuff like that, so i suppose it's a good time to take pics.

Anyway, enjoy some of my fave's that I have captured with "Rebs" this week!






T-Squared bday shout out!!

My good friend Theresa is uber good at giving me stealth shout-outs in her blog postings. But seeing as this posting is all about her and her cel-o-bration of the day of her birth, this is my way of returning a shout out in a not-so-stealth way!!

Pammer and I began the evening by watching T-dog's son J-meister show of his Ovechkin-like moves at his roller hockey game - he's #18 in the red

J-meister moving with Ovech-like speed
Pammer took a pic of me and T-Dog....gotta say...J-Meister had the best looking cheering section in the whole arena

After the game was over, it was time to carry on with bday festivities!! yay! happy "29th" bday T-dog!!! A little cheesecake supreeze will make anyone's day!! (can't help but notice that we have been using the "29" candles a lot this year...seems to be a very popular birthday amongst my friends...and i think it will remain just as popular next year, and the year after!!!)

T-dog opening gifts whilst J-meister looks onward (thinking to himself..."sheesh...more card making materials..really??!!)


Happy birthday dude...hope you had a stellar day!!

out with the old, in with the new!!

I love taking pictures!!! A couple of years ago I got a little digital camera for Christmas. It's done pretty well for me the past few years. However, I am taking a couple of good trips this summer, and wanted a camera to help me capture my adventures. So thanks to my income tax return, I decided it was time to retire my little PowerShot A520....
Please help me welcome the newest member of my family, the Canon Rebel Xti (shall I call you "rebs"?!!) I got it this weekend and I can't wait to find some time to play around with it and see all it can do!!!!!

So, let me leave you with a few of my favorite shots from the past couple of years...good job little PowerShot A520, good job

spring has sprung? I don't think so

Ok so after a couple of really nice days that made us think it was spring time, I awoke to snow the other day. This really did not impress me that much. I would like warm temps, sun and all things spring and summer to begin....enough of winter already!!!

For a little while now, I have been eyeing the blossoms on the trees and thinking "i'd better go take some photos before it's too late". Well, it finally stopped raining this afternoon, so after work I walked to the park near my house, enjoyed the sunshine and went crazy snapping shots of the puuurty trees!! here are some of my favorites for your viewing pleasure!!

boo-urns


The Canucks lost a "must win" tonight and have now missed the playoffs this year. This makes me very sad.
