Headache.

There's nothing more conducive to finding relief from a headache than a camera being shoved in your face (note the sarcasm here).

He's a good sport about it though, which is why I love him.

Testing, testing...

I finally got around to buying a manual flash for my camera. I'm just playing around and testing it out right now, and am already kicking myself for not getting one sooner. No longer am I limited by the depressing lack of sunlight in the winter. This changes everything!

Cows of Sarasota

Well, it's been ages since I've logged on to this site. I completely give up on the 365 project. Chalking it up to a great learning experience and moving on.

I had the pleasure of spending some time in Sarasota, Florida a couple months ago and fell in love with the wide variety of animals. Seemingly unending species of birds were everywhere; we were able to swim in the ocean and float just a few feet away from giant pelicans (well, I think they're giant, they are probably completely normal in size). Cows were usually accompanied by small white birds, but the birds took flight each time I approached so I wasn't able to get a shot with them included.

After living in the downtown core of Toronto for a couple of years this was quite possibly the most refreshing way to wake up on a Saturday morning that I've experienced in a long time. I'm still close to the city but the air quality is so much better I can hardly believe it. Being right on the subway line but feeling as though I come home to a cottage each night after work? This is living!

I haven't completely given up on this thing yet! Feels like this project is slowly dying, but I'm stubborn enough not to give it up totally. One thing I will never get tired of is taking pictures of my cute kitties, here she is in all her glory.

The scent of new beginnings is in the air...life is constantly in flux and seems to keep getting better and better. My mission as of late is to become more empowered to make decisions for myself that lead to concrete results. It feels good to move forward in a direction, in any direction, and to appreciate all the small steps along the way.

One of the things I love most about summer is the ability to be outside at night and remain warm and comfortable. It helps to have some takeout wine too :)
