Time...on my hands ;-)

On my lunch break, I was over at Pier 1, looking at their sale items, and noticed some striking clocks.  As I only had my iPhone with me instead of my camera, I had to make do with that.  But at least it is something...

Sorry....

I admit it, I have ignored this blog for the last couple of weeks!!  Sorry!

I have taken some window pictures, but since we moved, I have not be able to find my memory card reader so I can't download the pictures to my laptop, hence why my window pictures aren't on here.  Maybe I will see if I can find one on my phone that would work, then I can email it to myself and post it on here, I know it won't be the greatest but at least it will be something ;-)

Anyway, I have no idea what week we are on or anything so I am just going to post the new challenge on here.

This week's photo challenge is:  Time

I am really going to try hard to make sure I do the challenge this week and post it!!  Hope you are still with me.  (that means you Mum!)

Soph and Chelsie

New Challenge

Ooops..forgot to post a new challenge.  Let's do Windows.  It can be looking in, looking out, different types of windows, etc...  You pick and go with it ;-)

Summer

I love this one of Dad fishing

Summer, to me, now that I live in southern Alberta, will always be the beautiful canola fields...

Canola and bee hives <3

Week #27 - Summer

With all the HOT weather we have been having this last week, I am pretty sure we should be able to do this week's challenge!

This week's photo challenge is:  Summer

I look forward to seeing your photos!

Red & White

Here is my Red & White picture.  For Canada Day, I went with some friends from work to a co-workers wedding in Edmonton.  In between the wedding and reception, we went to the mall and they were handing these lollipops out!

Here is Leena, Barb and myself with our lollipops, although as you can tell, the plastic was still on, because we had just finished lunch and so we didn't eat them!

Swinging

I wanted to get a good photo of the birds using their feeder as a swing when the wind is really blowing but didn't come up with much more than one decent photo :-(

World's Greatest Father

Well I confess, I didn't take a swing picture...I had an idea, but never got around to it.  I might see if I can do it this week, but I am not sure as I am working every day this week!!

Here is my Father picture, I took it on the Father's Day weekend.  Bob and I went to Lethbridge to be with Dad, and he made shisk kabobs for supper one night, and boy were they good!!

Isn't my Father so cute?  

I am so blessed to have the World's Greatest Father :)

Week #26 - Red & White

This week's photo challenge is:  Red & White

I am assuming it has something to do with the fact that it was Canada Day on Sunday :)

Looking forward to seeing your photos!

Week #24 & #25

I know, I know....

I'm so sorry, last week just seemed to go by so fast that I never got around to posting the challenge or even any pictures!!  I really need to get back into it...sorry!!

Anyway, here is last week's challenge as well as this week's.

Last week - the photo challenge is:  Father

This week - the photo challenge is:  Swing

I am really going to try and take some photos this week!!

Walking by a wine store and looking in...

The above two were taken from an alley...looking in.

Okay, this is kind of "looking out" - LOL.

Tan and I saw this row of ducks in a store window

Looking into a candy store...and, no, I didn't go in!

Week #23 - Looking In

Ok, so I too didn't do anything for the last challenge :-P

But here is the next challenge...come on, Mum, we can do it!!

This week's challenge is:  Looking In

Sounds kind of fun, we should be able to do something creative right??

Sandrine, glad to see you have come back to us...maybe you can do this challenge too!!!

finally back with some photos

Hello everyone. Sorry for my very long absence, but I'm back:-D yay.

So here's my temptation photo... since I can't seem to just look at these, but always have to have one or two or so;-D




Anger is a tough one... but since I'm pretty sure this guy would get very angry at me posting this photo... here it comes





Have a great weekend you all! love Sandrine

New challenge?

I'm sorry but I have nothing for Temptation or Anger... :-(   Can we try another category?  You can still post yours if you have something...

Week #21 & #22

I know I missed posting week #21 and I don't know if you still want to do it.  But I will post both last week and this week's photo.  Just in case you feel that you want to do both :)

Here are the challenges:

Week #21 - Anger

Week #22 - Temptation

Looking forward to your photos, thanks for sticking with me!

SO late....sorry :(

I know, I am so late in posting...seeing as it's just you and me, Mum, I'm sure you can forgive me :)

Anyway, here are my late "Up" pictures taken from Seattle!!

This was taken at the Seattle Aquarium, you had to look up to see these fish!

The Seattle Space Needle...we went up to the top!

Again, sorry so late...

Up

So this week I opted for a few things that I have been wanting to photograph and, as they can fit in here, I'll use them!

Looking up at the window in the Picture Butte grain elevator

Our new downtown street signs...for the love.

Soo...I now work (see the fire engine?) on the corner of Wood Street and Dufferin Street - who would have known?

I always see these on my way to and from work, so have wanted to photograph them...hawks, maybe?

Week #20 - Up

This week's photo challenge is:  Up

Looking forward to seeing your photos!!

First time on a treadmill

I know I'm late in posting...but up until today, I didn't have my photos...

Erilyn claims she has never been on a treadmill before, so she decided to try it!!

Starting off slowly

Smiling for Aunty!!

A little faster...

Maybe she can go a little faster....

Going into a running pace....

Oops, forgot to tell her to make sure her feet are always moving!!!  

LOL

Motion

I wanted to get some car photos at night but wasn't able to, so I used water and wind to show motion instead.  Sorry if you have seen similar photos in the past :-(  These are new, I promise.

Here I used a fast speed to stop the motion

And with this one, I used a slower speed to show motion

Again, a slower speed to show the motion of the wind chimes

And also to show the motion of the seagull's oars

Week 19

Okay, let's get some motion going here...or stopping here :-)   Let's shoot 'motion' - you can either freeze it or show it, whichever you would like...think that will work?  I'm hoping that we both won't wait until Sunday afternoon this time - LOL.

Trees from the road

I confess, I hadn't taken any pictures until today....

...so these were taken from my cell phone from the car 

The weather outside was so nice today...starting to feel like summer!!

Trees....

Our fruit trees are all starting to blossom.  Here are a few of our plum blossoms and the bottom one is the Nanking cherry blossom:

Week #18 - Trees

I guess we both didn't do last week's challenge, so let's see if we can do this week's!!!

LOL  :)

This week's photo challenge is:  Trees

Looking forward to seeing your photos!

Week #17: Growth

First things first...

Mum, have you noticed the change to blogger when you go to post??

The photo challenge this week is:  Growth

I look forward to seeing your photos :)

Work

All in a days work :)

I had a gift certificate from Timmy's so I decided to grab myself a coffee to start my day 

My work...I love working here, thank you God for an awesome place to work!

Filling in my time sheet

My department, where I spend most of my days....the music department, a slow moving department due to itunes, but I still enjoy it!!

Time to go home...

I get off work at 5:30pm, but today...it got so busy at the end, that I didn't end up leaving until after 6pm!!

Oh, well so thankful for a job that I enjoy!!!!

Work....

View to the south

View to the north

Our two TVs - one is security cameras and the other is 
usually (during the day) on the Weather Network

Where I was working ;-)

Our sweet lounge...with the most comfortable couch ever!

Our kitchen

Three of the five flights of stairs I have to climb 
every time I come to work

Dad working in the garden

 

Success!  We got rid of the sightly pile of garbage!  
Believe me, it WAS work!
