Just Smile - May 7, 2010

I went out for lunch today with my girlfriend Michelle and along the way we stopped by an eyeglasses store for her to pick up some new sunglasses. While she was busy with the clerk I saw this handsome fellow welcoming me to the store.

What was great, was that after when we came back and she started to have a less then nice afternoon at work I sent her the pic of the little fellow which made her smile.

So far I'm on an every other day photo, but I want to get to photo a day.

Here's one I took today on the way to work while I was stopped at a light. When I looked out my window I liked the way the telephone pole was just blocking the perfectly at that moment and through my sunglasses I was getting a great filtered appearance. So I whipped out my camera, held it up to my sunglasses and took the shot before the sun moved or the light changed. I think the effect is kind of neat.

I was going in early to a local golf club to set up for a retreat we were hosting when I passed by their gardens and saw these wonderful dark purple tulips. The contrast between them and the white ones were stunning.

Picture a Day - April 30, 2010

I haven't put up any pictures in a very long time, which is surprising considering that I got a new DLSR at Christmas and have taken about 3000 pictures since then.

I remembered recently that I had at one point wanted to take a photo a day and post them on here. So perhaps today is the day to start.

I'm going to actually start with a trip to the zoo with my sister and nephew last week. My absolute favourite picture from the day is this one:

My sister was holding him up slightly and I snuck in underneath to take this picture. I just love the look on his face.

I also really like this picture of the polar bear. For some reason polar bears always remind me of my brother. I think he may have been one in a former life. The way he lounges around, moves and especially swims. It was funny when my sister said "polar bears remind me of our brother", me - "I thought only I though that."
