I has more pictures for all of you! Family and I went down to the fish ladder to see if we could actually watch and perhaps get pictures of the Trout jumping...but it's not as nice a place to take pictures as the rapid down stream I've been photographing at.

Here's Chaz being silly with my uncle, he loves to rub his head against people with stubble.


( On to the Pictures! )

You saw them! You can't unsee them! ^_~

and now back to whatever it was I was doing before....[can't remember]

Today parents decided to clean up the yard, I went out to help [and take pictures] but was banished back into the house because my skin burns so easily. At least I was able to help my mum rake most of the backyard, I also got some amazing pictures of these little wild flowers that grow in this area every spring.

I'm not sure what the actual name for the flower but we've always called them Blue Bells


( Pictures from today and yesterday in Grafton )

That's more pictures than you can shake a stick at! I started a photobucket account so that I could post some videos of my cousins without them being as completely public as youtube makes them.

Though I'd like to ask has anyone else had problems copying the embeded text? I took both videos but LJ wouldn't acknowledge them, I decided to try adding < /embed > and it seems to have worked. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced that.

Anyways this took way longer than I was intending...I guess I better go back to doing whatever I was before....now what was that...

that didn't take too long!

Mum came home with both a new router and my older brother!

*glomps*


I so missed him! but he'll be here for a week which is a really nice treat! he's been practicing the guitar since a little before Easter, my uncle Mike plays a lot and lent AJ one of his electric guitars.

He's got such nice long fingers for playing too




any excuse is a good excuse to play with the camera




So as I understand this evening we'll be heading out to my aunt Danielle's house so my dad can fix a problem with her sink, if I don't get out of the house before then, at least I will have once today.

now it's back to poking at my story see if I can't get one of them moving again

*sigh*

another day that I feel like I've wasted...I don't know what it would take to make me feel like it was a good day, or even just okay but I haven't found it yet. I got a little writing done today but I'm just not happy with anything I'm coming up with, which leaves me frustrated.

I hate evenings mostly because I end up not wanting to go to bed, but there's nothing I want to do to pass the time while I'm up. can't win for trying...



this is my cousin's Cornish Rex Logan, I love the way his tail curls I've never seen another Rex do that before.

( more pictures )

so there's another day gone...how much longer before its all over? or at least I get this fic finished and posted?

Didn't get much done today *pouts*

Josh started a game in Crisis Core I've been telling him all about it ^_^ he's been hoping that they'll make it for the PS3 which they've done for a few of these PSP games.

Been working on a Hurt/Comfort fic for Supernatural...but my brain just isn't making it easy. I'm stuck at the moment where I don't think it's worth completing. I've been getting really frustrated with it tonight, I start writing something for it, and suddenly have to go back and change a lot of it >_< I'd just really like to be able to finish it!

I went out for a walk today cashed my GST rebate and decided to stop in at my Oma's one of my aunts was visiting with her kids. and found out that my camera can zoom in and out while filming, this is something I've wanted for a long time. I'm also hoping that it's low light abilities will make filming at Animaritime easier.



this is Griffin my aunt's youngest, I have a real soft spot for him

This is my sister's kitty Dodger, he complained his way into Chaz's bed, which is right beside me so I couldn't resist playing with the new camera again ^_~





I found that I have an option in macro that allows for close focus, so that's what I used for both those pictures

( Pretty Blue Eyes )

it can be hard to see Dodger's eyes at times since he's not a fan of looking you in the eyes, he'll actually do just about anything to avoid looking at you ^_~

today turned out to be a beautiful day, so I went out to take some pictures with me new camera. I've wanted to go down to the river for just this purpose for a long time now, I think the idea first hit when winter started, and like I've said before I hate using my camera in the cold.

we live in a valley, more to the point our house is located on one of the sides, and running through the middle [like a two minute walk from home] is the Ganaraska River



which has drawn a lot of attention to the town, for several reasons, there's the salmon run [hugely popular! not a huge fan myself if only because it makes the town smell more like fish than usual] there's also the Float Your Fanny Down the Ganny Race, which happens every year, usually one a very cold rainy weekend in April. this year the weather was surprisingly beautiful, but since I don't really care for the town or it's traditions I didn't know anything about it.

this year they no doubt had problems with the river running so high and fast, the amount of snow we got has really done this area well.

( cause I like old things )

so there you go, and why not a couple more





I think this is something I'll do more often ^_^
