I am learning a bunch of things in my photography course and can see an improvement in my photos already. Here is one photo SOOC (straight out of the camera):

and the same with some editing:

One of our assignments this week for my photography course is to show rhythm in a photo.

I'm doing a weekly photo challenge with Michelle. We are posting a themed photo once a week. Last week's theme (sorry Michelle, I forgot!), was "sleep", or in my case, lack of. So here's my photo - this is when my day starts these past few weeks.

Bruno met another new friend today. Rachel's friend, Roxanne brought over her new puppy S'Mores. Isn't he adorable?

February 4, 2012

Andy's sisters, Barb (and her husband Bob) & Margaret (and her husband Chuck) were in town for a few days, passing through on their way back to Nova Scotia. We spent a sunny afternoon taking in the sights at the Winterlude Ice Sculptors competition. And of course, we couldn't leave without a beaver tail!

Sunrise, the morning after the ice storm (one of several this week).

One of our senior Air Cadets aged out (retired) on Tuesday night. These are his proud parents looking on at the March Past.

More metering the light with my hand. This is a more difficult situation as Squirt is half in direct sun and half in shade.

January 20, 2012

My photography teacher has us using our hands to meter the light. Even though I've had my camera on manual for years, it's a new concept. And it seems to work.

Andy's new job will require him to travel to client sites. We've spent the last three weekends looking at various cars and it came down to two choices - a 2011 Malibu and this one - a 2012 Ford Fusion SEL. This one has just about everything you could get, other than the nagivation system. It is black with black leather interior and has a ton of goodies.

Doing a clean out or all the junk that collects here. This week is the kitchen cupboards.

January 17, 2012

Bruno is looking really guilty here, but all he's doing is eating the ice.

January 16, 2012

All installed and ready to go! Notice the little red light on the floor? It's telling you that it's running. This dishwasher is so quiet, you can't tell otherwise. And it's energy star rated, and uses LESS water than washing by hand. I'm in heaven!

Back to the routine today.

January 8, 2012

And the new job comes with tons of paperwork that has to be filled out.

January 7, 2012

Car shopping today. Andy has to have a vehicle as he will need to get to client sites.

January 6, 2012

I am counting down the weeks until this comes off and I'm sure Andy is too!

The rag quilt I made Rachel for Christmas. She says it is snuggly warm!

Happy Birthday to Lucas! He's now 18. I know this isn't the best photo, but I wanted to mark the occasion.

January 3, 2012

I went to let Bruno out and saw this hawk in our back yard. Unusual as we are in a surburban area. He had caught what I thought was a cardinal (from all the red), but judging by the size of the feet in his claws, it looks like a crow.
