A bug's life

Here are two photos from a recent Camera Club road rally. We had to follow directions to a number of locations just outside of Woodstock. It was hot, interesting but best of all--fun! Can't wait to see what's in store for us this coming year with the club.

Until next time,

What a week!

Busy week. My daughter had a friend over tonight. Tomorrow night I'm working. Wednesday we are visiting friends for a BBQ at their trailer. Thursday is soccer. And then I'm on VACATION!!! Bring it on! I don't think I've wanted or needed a break so badly in all my life. Can't wait! Let the good times roll!!

Soccer star

Avery isn't much of a scorer but she's a great goal tender. Two weeks ago she had her first go at minding net. She loved it--the goalie can use their hands you know! Last week she asked to go in net so she played the whole 2nd half. She's doing better at going after the ball and gets a couple of good kicks in but I think she's found that she likes being goalie. Thank God it's not hockey!

Until next time...

Fisheye fun

Here is the first picture I've taken with my LensBaby Fisheye lens, taken in St. Mary's, Ontario by the Quarry. It's pretty fun!! I need to get out and do more with my LensBaby gear. In fact, I need to get out and take more pics in general.

Excitement!

I got my LensBaby fisheye lens! I've been playing with it but can't wait to actually take it out for a real test-drive. Maybe this weekend?

My daughter played her first soccer game tonight. She has the skills already but is far too passive. How do you undo everything you've taught about taking turns and sharing?? Don't be fooled. This was taken AFTER the game when she was running around with friends on another team. No signs of tears and "I want to go home" in this photo! Hoping next week will be easier, at least for Mommy.

Until next time,

What is wrong with me??

My blog has been seriously ignored! Not only that, my creative side just doesn't have the juices flowing. I have been working on my NYC scrapbook but haven't posted anything. Maybe after the crop weekend next week I'll have something interesting and worthwhile. Hoping to play with my LensBaby and post some of those creative pics soon. Oh, how I wish to have a new "toy"...maybe the LensBaby Fisheye. (sigh)

Spring is in the air!

Well, the clocks went forward and the weather man is predicting temps above 10 degrees Celsius this week. A friend of mine saw a robin last week, but I've only heard the chickadees and cardinals. It must be around the corner. Here's hoping.

I decided to keep the Gypsy and have been playing with it. I think it will be a handy tool to have, especially on crop nights. I'll be able to carry all of my cartridges with me in one little machine.

And with spring comes a few 4-year-old birthday parties and more picture taking. I'm hoping that bug bites me again soon!

Until next time...
