Ready For The Big Move.

Just letting you know that I'm going to be offline for a bit while we are moving. I'm not sure when I'll be able to get back online to post but it shouldn't be too long. I'll post all my photos of the day as well as some shots of the new house when I get back.

I'm sure you will all miss me. LOL.

Sunday June 21 2009.

My buddy Jeff, who frequents the same lake lot subdivision as us, asked me to document his Wolverine look. I think it turned out not too bad.

Photo Of The Day - 169 of 365. Great Start To The Day.

Thursday June 18 2009.

Here is a photo of how my day started. The tire had absolutely no pressure in it this morning. Out came the compressor and filled it up. By the time I got to work, it was down to 15 lbs. So, now at lunch it's coming off, the spare goes on and off to the tire shop I go. I hope the rest of the day is better.

The smell of fresh cedar chips ranks right up there with freshly cut grass or apple pie as some of my favorite smells.

He will fight tooth and nail when you give him a bath but turn on a sprinkler and you can't get him out of it. From now on, he has his bath in the yard. :)

Photo Of The Day - 164 of 365. Jason And Ride For Sight 2009.

Saturday June 13 2009.

I had the pleasure today of taking photos for the 2009 Alberta Ride For Sight. A charitable organization that organizes bike enthusiasts for a ride to Olds Alberta. Being in Edmonton we went south. It was a lot of fun. I took my son along for the long day of driving mixed with video and photography.

This is a portrait of Jason. He organized the route for the ride from Edmonton to Olds and asked me almost a year ago if I would be interested in photographing it. Of course I said yes. The set of photos I did can be found here.

Furry Orange Vistor.

We had a visit from a cat yesterday that put the kids into a frenzy. This is their first experience with a cat. We just don't have many in our area. This one was very friendly indeed. Purring the whole time. She stayed for about 1/2 hour then moved on. I'm sure she will be back.

Photo Of The Day - 162 of 365. Green Balloon.

Thursday June 11 2009.

I love hot air balloons. Never been in one but it is in the plan for when the kids are older.

This one is a little boring but I can't resist a hot air balloon shot.

About the photo: Not much to tell with this one. I noticed the balloon on my way into work today. I rushed up to my office hoping to get to the roof before it past the building. I made it and took several shots as it came by. I wish it would have come closer though.

Photo Of The Day - 156 of 365. Poor Workmanship.

Friday June 5 2009.

When you spend $3000.00 + for an air conditioner, you expect some quality of workmanship. Note to self 'Check up on them even if it makes them mad at you. You are the customer.' That is my rant for the day. Lake time.

Photo Of The Day - 154 of 365. Roof Top Chimney.

I took a stroll on the roof of our fabrication shop today. It's a nice place to just unwind and think. No one else is brave/stupid enough to stroll around up there.
