Welcome

After reading someone's goal of a photo a day, seeing some friends photo pages, and someone's photo blog, I wanted to create a collection of my own work. I love taking photos when I travel, on day trips, and of friends and family. I recently (July/07) found out I have taken over 9,200 which currently live on my computer. I want to keep collecting images that I find inspiring and share them with others.

Blue Jays Vs. Kanas City Royals

I treated hubby to a Jays game last week. I knew the weekend was going to be super hot for a change and that we both had the day off. So on I went to the Jays' site to see what special event may be going on to get tickets too. They Jays are great in that they have many special events that then have a few tickets cheaper then normal. The 25th of May happened to be Greek Heritage Day. So off went to sit beside Zorba and had a great day in the sun, watching the Jays kick butt and best of all was the location of the seats. We got to sit first row just past the 3rd baseline. How could I pass up tickets like that?!?

Flowers in Epcot

During my recent trip to Orlando for the eLearning Guild Annual Gathering I took some time out for myself and wandered around Epcot for thier Flower & Garden festival. It was really beautiful to see the whole place in such gorgeous bloom. Here are a few of the shots I took while walking around the special gardens and regular ones as well.













Another afternoon of wandering around Animal Kingdom allowed me a few more hours of doing one of my favourite things; taking more photos.

Niagara Trip With My Brother

Scott and I went away over night to Niagara Falls this weekend. As always, we had a great time together. The lady at the desk at the hotel was kind enough to let us know that if we upgraded for $50 we could have better view, a coupon for dinner and breakfast. Well dinner and breakfast was already planned for and we were on a limited budget so we stuck with the room we were assigned.



I think we ended up with a pretty good view. I'm not sure what the extra money would have had us see.We rode the shuttle far too many times, but it was a convient way for us to get down to Cliffton Hill. Ice cream and the midway were a must here.











A brief (and I mean very brief) time at the casino proved unfruitful so we ventured off to the hotel pool instead. Can't lose money there.

My New Stairs


We're playing the waiting game right now waiting for our new house to be built. It's our first home for both of us, so naturally we are extremely excited. We had a move in date of January, which got bumped to April, which has now been bumped to June. Well at least the move-in temperature is getting better and better all the time.

Toronto Loves Bon Jovi


Well haven't had a photo up here in a long time. Mostly because I've been a little consumed with my crashed computer and the potential lost of my photos. Note to self, back up or up load photos more often.

Here are some pictures I took on my camera phone. It doesn't take great pictures usually, but these ones turned out not too badly. These are shot during Bon Jovi's 4th concert (March 10, 2008) in Toronto in the last several months. What an amazing show. Jon Bon Jovi is a class act and seemed genuinely excited and humbled by the out pouring of love and devotion from the Toronto Fans. I certainly hope they will continue to visit and entertain us for years to come.

CN Tower at Night


This isn't a great picture, but it is from my phone as I was stopped at a light downtown last week on Lakeshore Blvd. I went down to see the One of A Kind show which I love to do each year. It's wonderful to see artists come back season after season and see how their work progresses. Some just put on a great show as you watch them "sell" to the "audience". As I drove home wishing I had a lot more money to buy many of the wonderful pieces I saw, I looked up and saw the CN Tower lit up in all it's glory. It's a beautiful structure, but even more so now at night as it really draws your attention as the lights flow and ebb into one another.
