  1.  My neighbour’s lovely onion head flower. 2.  Birdy at the zoo. 3.  Seal teeth. 4.  Seal watching. 5.  Hippo behind the fish. 6.  Rain soaked Peony. 7.  Clouds on Hipstamatic. 8.  Watching kickball. 9.  Thistle at the Metro train track. This week was hot and cold and sunny and rainy.  Pretty much all weather covered!  I survived a school field trip to the zoo where we saw lots of animals even though it rained all day.  I had a small group of kids to herd and they all had a great time, not a single complaint about the rain! I have been stalking the neighbourhood flowers, they are so glorious, I have to snap photos whenever I get chance.  The peonies were so gorgeous in the rain, I didn’t care that I was on my knees with my camera trying to get the best angle with flower and raindrops in perfect harmony (and focus). I haven’t used the Hipstamatic app for a while as sometimes all of those lens/film choices get a little …

Through the Lens Thursday 13. Looking Down.

Saw this fella laying on the floor of the Aquarium in the City Museum today. I cheated and waited until Friday,  thinking I would get a great ‘Looking Down’ photo at the museum. Alas, that backfired as there were no great shots to be had at all, it was very crowded and very dark in there. That will teach me to rebel won’t it! Next week I will be sure to post Through the Lens Thursday on Thursday.  Fancy joining in?  The prompt next week is ‘Self’.

This past week I started to fill my album of photos for 2014, I am using Project Life by Becky Higgins photo sleeves and a ring binder to keep them in.  I think that this may mean that I am dipping my chilly toes into the world of scrapbooking, but I am mainly using the albums and sleeves for photos and write up about the photos, rather than stickers and stamps and quotes.  Of course I can’t promise that I won’t enter the world of stickers and scrapbooking doodads (is that an actual word?  I am not sure), but I am thinking I can hold off for now.  I have painted a few cards to go with the photos and I am happy with the way it is turning out so far.  I will get a few more pages done and I will share them with you.  So far here are some of the cards I painted with brush script to go among the photos. The bulbs are starting to peek up through the dead …

Last week was a little warmer and then little colder, and then it snowed…again.  I had a root canal on Wednesday which instead of being the nightmare I was expecting,  dispelled all of the tooth pain I have been having.  Now I just need to drink lots of water to cleanse my pain killer abused liver. I made two bracelets of similar beads and the pictures above are of one of them.  I ordered some new beads and I am super excited to get them, I nearly bounce out the door to greet the mail lady when I am expecting beads in the post!  Will they come today?  I wonder. The colour of the week was orange which was another hard one to find, check out Andrea and Xanthe‘s blogs for some fab colour inspirations. Suddenly every traffic cone everywhere I go pops into my vision!  No, I did not take a photo of a cone… I did find a cool old truck which is parked locally, so I stalked it and got a couple …
