Calvin's Christmas Portraits

Calvin is my fiancé's, cat.  While we were decorating the tree this year, he was looking on with such curiosity.  We put a mini Santa hat on him, and a star was born.  He sat very patiently as I clicked away with my camera, and we ended up with lots of super cute shots - it was tough to narrow them down!  He needs to be put into Kitty Modelling, if there is such a thing!

Tommy James and the Shondells

Wow - over a month since my last blog entry - oops! I have been very busy.  In any case...

On September 3, 2011, I planned a visit to the Canadian National Exhibition (aka The Ex), not just because it's my annual tradition for the summer, but also because one of my favourite bands from the 1960s, Tommy James and the Shondells, were playing. 

I had seen the band once before with The Hermans Hermits, in Clearwater FL, and they were amazing... once again, they did not disappoint!

More pictures from the show are up here.

Last Long Weekend... Andy Kim

One month ago, on the previous Canadian long weekend (Canada Day, July 1st... for the record, today is also a holiday - Civic Holiday, aka we need one more summer long weekend holiday), I headed out to Woodbine Park for the Red White and Vinyl Canada Day Celebration.  I actually just wanted to see Andy Kim, so that's exactly what I did.

And, of course, Canada Day wouldn't be complete without some fireworks!

More pics are right this way.

A Kid in an Ice Cream Shop

It sometimes happens that I don't have my DSLR on hand to capture those picture perfect life moments... Or, in some cases, it would just be very inappropriate to pull it out.

Yesterday was one of those days - I took my favourite 5-year-old out for ice cream, and she was just too cute with her nose pressed up against the glass, trying to decide which topping would be the best!  My iPhone, with the PictureShow app subbed in, and I came up with this super sweet shot!








P.S. In case you were wondering - she chose vanilla with rainbow sprinkles!
