Day 188

I walked home today, and got out of my comfort zone by making myself stop for a photo even if someone might look at me funny. I actually sat down in the grass beside a stop sign to take photos of the flowers nearby and had to try so hard to not think about the people who might be staring :P

Then I walked past this hydrant when I was about 10 minutes from home and thought the contrast between the textured plant and the smooth hydrant (and the colours!) was really cool. I took a few photos and felt 2 or 3 little rain drops as I was getting back up again. I took a few steps down the sidewalk and suddenly the skies opened up and it was pouring! I hastily got my camera back into my bag and walked the rest of the way in the sun shower. It did feel good once I knew I didn't have to worry about my camera getting wet :)

Oh, Nova Scotia weather...

Day 187

Love that evening sun...

Day 185

Flopsy kitty :) He was just lying like that, foot in the air, head rolled to the side to look outside...
What a nice life, lol.

Me and my Mousey Mouse. Kisses :)

(P.S. This isn't an Instagram photo - it's from my DSLR and just square cropped)

Day 183

I had an idea in mind when I did this little self-portrait shoot... but I didn't quite get what I wanted. Even though I did almost 30 takes! I wish I could have held this camera steadier, but it was hard when I was shaking my head :P

Day 182

 I had my camera out while I walked to work today. I took this from across the street! Bit of tweaking in Lightroom, as I'm sure you can tell... but I think it looks cool!


I also found this flower and thought it looked lovely! They were too nice *not* to post them!

Day 180

Look at my beautiful new toy! I think it is absolutely gorgeous! It's cool that it has a 1984 Olympics lens cap! I got it from a seller on Etsy who had purchased it (along with the manuals and strap) from an estate sale and got it professionally cleaned up. I think it needs a new battery, but I hope to be able to play with it soon :)

Here's a close-up on the strap - from Arkansas, apparently!

Day 178

Mousey-Mouse is jealous of my BBQs.

I got an even better photo where he looked at me first with his mouth open and it was HILARIOUS! But I accidentally hit the wrong button and deleted it. I nearly cried :( So this was the second take...

Day 175

 Sweet Bear Mountain ... so serene. Always :)


... and then there's Mouse. asking me not to leave for work by rolling around on the ground and rubbing his face on my shoes. Such a goofball. Always :)


Day 174

I'm not sure if these are baby pine cones, but I thought they were really cute. So I took a picture :)

Day 173

He arrived! This cute little birdie is some "lens bling" I got, to help me with photo shoots with wee ones :) He also has a squeaker to help get their attention (might be useful for doggy sessions, too!).

Day 172

This is what my Argus C3 looks like when he's in his case! I have two rolls waiting to be developed... I should probably get on that!

Day 171

Kitty face + accidental flash + marble effect = brilliant.

(she closed her eyes - don't worry; she's not blinded)

Day 169

I got a new iPhone app! It imitates the effect of shooting a photo through a clear marble - fun!

Day 168

I love when he looks at me like this... :)

Showing Bear Mountain a film canister. He looked perplexed - I don't think he's seen one before :P

Day 163

This is my Sunday afternoon. Wearin' shorts, on the couch, sunshine coming in the window, watching a movie, and a cat staring at me.

Day 162

We went for a walk in Shubie Park today. The chipmunks and squirrels were very friendly and they let me get really close to take photos! Look at this little guy!! :)

Day 161

Got some Dairy Queen for dessert tonight! I ate half of this thing and had to put the rest away for later - it was just too much!
