Another Flashback

2006-08-14T08:57:00.000-04:00

This one looks familiar to anyone whose been in my apartment. I took this picture back in 2004 when visitng a friend in Gaspe.

Vacation

2006-08-03T10:01:00.000-04:00

This picture is from the Dominican Republic. It was taken a long time ago, but I still like it.

A not so rainy night

2006-08-02T10:44:00.000-04:00

I took this picture last week the day after the rainy night picture. I was able to keep the camera steady this time and am pleased with the overall effect.

A rainy night

2006-07-27T06:28:00.000-04:00

I took this one last night when it was raining. I was playing around with the shutter speed and slowed it way down. It's a little blurry because I don't have a tripod, but overall, I like the effect.

Africa Pictures

2006-07-25T21:43:00.000-04:00

An update? Yeppers :) I'm thinking of buying a new camera, so am getting back into the photoblogging thang. These are from my trip to Africa last summer

These kids are my Sister's neighbours. They were great fun :)

A long and winding road... this was the turnaround point on a 25K long run when I was marathon training. Most of the run was on paths 1 foot wide.

An Update

2006-05-07T19:35:00.000-04:00

Shocking I know, seeing as it has been what, close to two months? Okay, I should have a few updates this week. Todays theme, flowers.

Daffodils have always been my favorite flowers, they are so bright and yellow on dark rainy April Days.

This is my plant. The flowers are fuchsia. Except one. Yep, one red flower in a feild of pink... from the same plant. It was too weird not to document.

My cute God Daughter

More fun candle pictures. The first one was on purpose...

A study in pineapple

2006-02-07T20:59:00.000-05:00

I bought a pineapple. It is yummy. I took these pictures before I masacred it this evening. I tried playing around a bit with the lighting and what not, but for the most part the pictures didn't turn out. these two are okay though.

A random collection of photo's and pictures

2006-02-06T09:07:00.000-05:00

The Boyfriend :) <3 He's a little tired in this picture, but still his handsome self :)

The Ellster (my sister's dog Elly)

Sarahs new kitchen Faucet. Some may be surprised that I'm taking a picture of a tap, but if they've ever met Sarah and Wes, they'd understand. They are pretty proud of their kitchen sink.

Plant Pictures

2006-02-03T08:15:00.000-05:00

I think I'm getting a better grip on my camera now :)

My Baby

2006-02-02T08:01:00.000-05:00

I love her :)

Candle Pictures

2006-01-30T19:29:00.000-05:00

I'm trying to get used to the manual features of my camera. Is it bad that I've owned it for 2 years and only use the point and shoot option? I was playing around with shutter speed with dark pictures the other night and needed something I could take a picture of when it was dark. Candle it is. I feel like I'm copying burger, sorry!!!

Can anyone guess what this is?

2006-01-26T08:49:00.000-05:00

I took it this morning. More playing around with my camera :)

A bride prepares...

2006-01-23T12:34:00.000-05:00

I took this picture of my sister last summer (2004) when she was getting ready for her wedding. Almost everything was done at this point, she was just taking a few quiet minutes to sort out her list of thank-yous to make sure she remembered everyone

As promised

2006-01-22T22:07:00.000-05:00

A little late, but here's Jenny... not so artistic but she's a cutie :)

More black and white

2006-01-20T07:50:00.000-05:00

These snowflakes are on my windows. I like em :)

Dabbling

2006-01-19T07:33:00.000-05:00

Okay, so my camera was working again last night so I was taking pictures around my appartment, trying to get a handle of stills. As you can tell, I mostly take photos of Landscpes... I also have a few flower pictures, but nothing artistic. So new plan. Learn how to take pictures of things. These are my shoes.

Stupid camera.

2006-01-18T09:51:00.000-05:00

I wanted to take some new pictures, but my camera is doing something weird right now, so old pictures it is. I took a feild course this past spring and we had to do stream sampling early one cold morning. The sun was rising in the early morning sky and starting to peak through the trees with this cute little waterfall. I took a break from doing the work I was supposed to be doing to capture the moment.

Something a little more seasonal

2006-01-16T13:12:00.000-05:00

Stopping by the woods on a snowy... afternoon? I took this picture two winters ago when I was taking the course that I'm now TAing. My friend e and I went out one cold afternoon in January to take pictures of our site that we had to develop. This path is now one of my favorite running routes!

Camping in Algonquin

2006-01-15T18:19:00.000-05:00

I love camping. Last summer I went camping with my cousin in Algonquin park. The middle day it was pouring rain but the rain stopped for a few hours in the evening in time to see a beautiful sunset over a glass lake. I love the shadow of the tree in the front.

My favorite Picture

2006-01-14T18:01:00.000-05:00

I took this picture last summer when I was visiting my sister in Africa. One weekend we went into Uganda to the headwaters of the Nile to go whitewater rafting on class five (aka big water) rapids. After a long, beautiful, day on the water we pulled out for a barbeque and it started to pour rain (typical rainy season weather). By the time we got back to camp (in the back of a lorry!) the rain was coming to an end and the sun was peaking through the clouds about half an hour before sunset. In my opinion this is one of those pictures that ends up being more beautiful than it actually was. I'm just happy to have such a good capture of the wonderful day we had.

My PhotoBlog

2006-01-13T12:21:00.000-05:00

So a friend of mine recently started a photoblog. I thought it was a neat idea so wanted to give it a try. So here I am in all my glory; the amateur photographer who wishes she were better.

I took this picture while visiting a friend in Gaspe Quebec. We went out on the St. Lawrence to go whale watching when a storm started approaching us from shore. It was a cold dark day but this scene held a lonely beauty about it.
