I love dandelions so much, they really shouldn't be considered weeds. They make grass more interesting to look at, but perhaps I'd think differently if I were tending my own yard rather than living in this concrete city.

Babies! I was sneaking behind these guys for quite a long time, trying to get close enough for a good shot and cursing myself for not carrying my zoom lens on me. I didn't want to stress them out by getting too close, so I ran ahead and hid in a bush waiting for the right moment. It passed quickly but I'm happy with the result.

This is my beautiful friend, taken while enjoying a picnic in the park and a plastic cup of wine. Classy as always.

A very friendly visitor up on our rooftop patio, she was gorgeous!

Patiently waiting for the train. I remember the excitement when I was a kid, as the long trains would go by my sister and I would wait eagerly to see the red caboose...it's too bad they don't have them anymore, I must be getting old!

The beach is that way...

This is one of those times when clicking on the image to enlarge it is a good idea to see detail. The room was a bit dim so I had to use a high ISO and wide open aperture in order to get shots without using flash. The result is a bit grainy, but I think all things considered it turned out okay.

After an interesting work field trip to the Model Train Club in Toronto, you can expect more miniature train posts to come...

Today's post is just the result of playing around in photoshop. Composite of a house plant with a shot I took of the television while the movie Amelie was playing.

I took the long way home while walking after work, and even after almost an hour (it's usually only a 30 minute walk) I didn't see one single thing that caught my interest enough to stop for pictures. Today's post I took over the weekend, I was hoping for so many I would have a whole week's worth of blog posts, but I only came back with one. I'm not sure why, maybe I'm getting bored of seeing the same streets over and over. I think a mini vacation/trip is in order soon.

I had to save the below photos for today, though they were taken last week. My nephew was in the process of creating a surprise Mother's Day card for my sister so I wasn't allowed to post them until today.

Spent the past weekend with my mother and nephew, it's nice how relaxing puzzle time with family can be.
