July 29

Wafting

Incense from Bali and an incense holder from Mysore India. This is the perfect way to get rid of the smell of rotting potatoes in your fridge. It is also a good way to unwind.

Midnight Drive

This was the latest I had stayed up in a while. We spent a late night at the Taj Mahal restaurant sorting out our reception buffet items. To be honest I’m not sure I should have been driving…

Olivia

I sense you are always there watching me. We met in a forest not too long ago and then you decided that you’d like to follow me home. Your presence became intimidating and so I asked you to leave and yet I still catch glimpses of you. You haven’t truly left have you? Someday I’ll have the courage to let you in again. Until then, let’s continue this dance of knowing yet not knowing.

Stillness

There’s nothing like unwinding with a good book on a comfortable chair in beautiful light covered in a warm shawl.

Trouble Sleeping

Sometimes when I can’t get to sleep I get a little batty…

Yummy Crepe-4

Becca and I had breakfast with Tay and Braden at the farmer’s market. I waited anxiously as my crepe was being prepared. I had eggs, bacon, and ham… All locally produced! This was incredibly delicious and salty…

Raja

So this is what a Raja (means king) chair looks like. Very very comfortable!

Stalker

What else do you do when it’s just about midnight? I suppose the only person I’m really stalking here is myself. One of these days I’ll figure out what makes this guy tick. Until then, all I can do is keep watching and take note when he does something interesting.

Hairy Bokeh

Every now and then I get desperate for a shot of the day as I realize there is only an hour or two left in my day and I have no shot to take. I was actually trying to get a shot of Becca in this but having the 50mm on the camera and trying to aim down from up above is easier said than done.

Clear Care

Yes I am messing around with contacts again. After a three year hiatus from contacts I decided I’d try it again. Mainly because I didn’t want to be wearing glasses on my wedding day. After a couple weeks of trial lenses and some painful experiences I took the plunge and ordered myself a year’s worth of contacts. I have to admit, I’m really enjoying being able to look through the viewfinder without having to take my glasses out of the way.

Hail Grown in Alberta

No, those are not white pebbles you are looking at in my planter box. That is tiny hail that stuck around while the bigger pieces had already melted off by the time I was brave enough to venture outdoors to take this shot. Us Calgarians got hit by two hail storms on the South end of the city, one right after another.

What a crazy week! I travelled to Vancouver for work and kicking horse for a wedding. Becca and I also knocked off a few more items on our enormous to do list.
