322.365 Time For Snow Boots?
Friday November 18 2011.
I don't think my latest work boots are going to hold up to the winter. Perhaps I'll have to get some cheap steel toed winter boots.

317.365 Lily - Strobist.
Sunday November 13 2011.
Finally, I managed to get Lily under the strobe. It wasn't easy. I had to have the girl hold her still. I managed to get 3 or 4 shots off before she had enough.
And I had it in my head that I would like to be a pet photographer! LOL.
I ran this through Color Effects 4 to jump up the contrast a bit. I've been testing the program out this weekend. So far I really like it.

311.365 Poor Mr. Pumpkin
Monday November 7 2011.
This is what happens when a jack o lantern freezes and thaws for a week. Not a pretty sight. LOL.

310.365 Puppy Love
Sunday November 6 2011.
We took LIlly to my parent's today to meet their dog, Bella.
They got along like they had known each other their whole lives. This is the longest they stayed even close to still for me!

309.365 Out For Dinner.
Saturday November 5 2011.
We went out for fish & chips to Joey's Only. Yum.
My iPhone did a nasty job exposing this one but when I converted it to B&W, it looked much better.

307.365 Lily
Thursday November 3 2011.
Meet Lily. Our new dog. We adopted Lily from the Edmonton Humane Society on Wednesday.
She is from California. One of the dogs rescued in a shelter there that is partnered up with the one here. She was flown in on October 27th and from the minute we stepped into her room at the Edmonton Humane Society, we knew she was the right dog for us.
She has such a loving disposition, calm yet excited to see you. Barely makes a peep.
I wish I was able to capture a better photo of her but every time I sat down to take a photo, she would come running to me to say hi. Maybe I'll set up the umbrella this weekend and plop her and her blanket on a table.

304.365 Halloween 2011!
Monday October 31 2011.
We are all set for another round of "Give Me Candy". Just need some jackets. Pretty chilly out today.
My Ninja and Rapunzel are tired of waiting for me to get ready.

294.365 6:30AM
I decided to do a one day photo project today. Just with my iPhone nothing too serious. Just for fun. It started with the following image of my morning coffee cup and went on from there.
Friday October 21 2011.
First conscious memory of the day. :-)
The Last Look.
This is the last thing I see when I leave for work in the morning. I get him up every morning and make sure he gets dressed and eats. He looks as tired as I was. TGIF!!
On The Road
I'm on the road. As you see, it's fall in Edmonton, Alberta and it's dark when I leave for work at 7:00 AM. Still light when I come home but not for much longer. :( Nothing like sitting in traffic drinking coffee to wake you up.
Sunrise
I usually see this type of sunrise when It's dark enough out in the morning. Not the best photo but you get the idea.
Back Hoe Sunrise
You just have to love the sunrise on a shiny clean back hoe. LOL.
The First Of Several.....
Walks to the main building 1/2 a mile down the road. I will drive if the weather is bad or I have lots to carry but I really prefer to walk. It gives me time to get over the anger on my way back to my office from the main yard. :)
Work To Be Done.
We have been cleaning out our Quonset this week. It was a huge disaster thanks to the guys in the shipping department. Here we have to level this platform so I can erect some pallet racking on it next week. And you guys thought I just sat at the desk placing orders all day long. LOL.
Incoming Product.
Here's the most boring part of my job. Ordering supplies for the field jobs. They send me a list, I order it, I send it out to them. Woop-de-doo. I much prefer to order equipment but I'm done with that for this year I think.
Piles Of Paperwork.
This is today's pile. Not so bad. I still had time to get some work done outside.
Finally Home.
Usually this is the one who greets me first when I get home. Today I had to chase her down. :)
A Canadian Institution.
Tim Horton's is a Canadian coffee and dognut chain. All my Canadian friends will be quite familiar with this place I'm sure. Mmmmmm Coffee.
Thus It Ends.
And so my day ends as it began, with a large cup of coffee. Yes, I can drink coffee and fall asleep at the same time. :)
This concludes a typical day for me. Thanks for tuning in. LOL.
Hey, I just noticed I had the French side turned towards the camera....Oh, well I have enough French speaking friends that they will appreciate it. :) That just shows how tired I was by this point. What a long week it's been.

293.365 My Ride This Afternoon
Thursday October 20 2011.Yup, I get to drive the coolest things at work sometimes. This came back from a job site and needed to go over to my mechanics. Why bother them when I can just hop in this beast and drive it over to them. Just down the road a bit.
What a heavy machine. So far this is the biggest machine I've driven. Sadly, it's the biggest we have so I will have to be happy with that. :)

292.365 Dinosaur Egg?
Wednesday October 19 2011.While walking around the yard at work today, I noticed this egg shaped rock. It's a bit bigger than a goose egg. I've been on the look out for smooth neat shaped rocks for the kids to pain this winter. This one is mine.
This will make a very cool Easter egg.
Maybe I should crack it open to see if there is a dinosaur in it first. LOL.

290.365 Haunted Door.
Monday October 17 2011.
Our receptionist here at work loves Halloween. The front office of the building is loaded with decorations such as this one. This one is on the door to the main building from the front office. They eyes light up and flash. Quite creepy when you are standing in front of it.

280.365 Rusted From The Rain
Friday October 7 2011.
A bandsaw blade slowly rusts away in the elements. Once it cut steel down to size so it could be fabricated into some amazing structures. Now it rots in a silent coil.

277.365 Canada Geese On A Grey Dingy Day.
Monday October 3 2011.
Even the geese don't want to hang around on this dingy cold fall day. I don't blame them.

276.365 My Princess.
Sunday October 2 2011.
She's getting so big. I can hardly believe my eyes when I look at her sometimes.
No matter how hold she gets she will always be my Princess and my Sweetpea.

275.365 Ker Plunk!
Saturday October 1 2011.
Who remembers this classic game?
I can remember playing over and over and over. It took me a year to find this. So glad I did.

269.365 Back To The Skating Lessons.
Monday September 26 2011.
The kids are back at it with the skating lessons this year. They have a great time. The boy is a machine on the ice. By the time the lesson is over, he is soaking wet! Both from the ice and sweating.
