Timeless Train Bridge

I blame my husband. :) I wasn't going to go out to take photos yesterday morning- I was going to work at my computer all day- but he mentioned how nice it was outside. I ended up losing track of time - of course - and spent the entire fabulous morning at one of the awesome spots around here.

New Wineskins

Well, my new camera is living up to my expectations so far! These are my first proper shots with it (from this morning) - and wowee - everything is so crisp & gorgeous! An uncropped/uninterpolated image is 16x24"! It is pretty sweet that Phase just launched a new version of their software as well. So with everything combined,  I am feeling like I'm falling in love with photography all over again!!!

The Prairies

Sorry I haven't been posting as quickly as I'd hoped- work & life has picked right back up since being away & this was pushed aside..
Anyway, here are some images from what I'd heard were the "boring" prairies. Perhaps you as well would disagree?

BC & Back! - Thunder Bay

I'm back! Monday at 1:30am we finally rolled into our driveway again, exhausted but happy. We'd been on a fantastic road trip out to BC for a wedding of some friends. Canada is a big country and needless to say, I took a lot of photos... Slowly but surely, I've been sorting through, and so let the sharing of highlights begin!

Our first memorable stops were in the Lake Superior/Thunder Bay area.

Our sweet wheels!

We got to stay at a dairy farm overnight!

Storefront

Tucker Construction has been doing more fantastic work in downtown Dunnville!

Well Travelled Friends

We have some very well traveled friends who were visiting from abroad with their little 6 month old girl. I found out that they hadn't had the chance to get pro baby photos done yet, and so definitely had to take care of that!

Spring Kids 4 - Gerberas

Here are some shots I did using gerbera daisies as a theme to provide some stock photos for Van Geest Bros Greenhouses.

 

Yup, if you haven't given someone flowers recently, you should! :)

Woodland Flora

It seems like the plants outside are growing so fast these days & that every day something new is flowering or finished. These beauties are mostly long gone around here (I'm not sure about the Jack in the Pulpits), so I am happy to have these photos so I can enjoy them a while longer.
