Canada Day 2009 Fireworks and Spring Walks
This past week found me out and about taking photos at the Canada Day parade and the fireworks celebration in the evening. I’ve yet to get through all of the parade photos - yet the firework photos can be found on my flickr here:
Canada Day 2009 - Edmonton
Also earlier this spring I took a few afternoons with my camera to walk about the river valley and other parts of the city. I’ve got one of those sets posted on myflickr as well at:
Spring Walks 2009
Other than that, I’ve been going through a great deal of my older unprocessed photos - albeit rather slowly. Hopefully one day I shall manage to catch up on it all.
The 2009 Edmonton Pride Parade!
Last weekend was the annual Edmonton Pride Parade, and I finally managed to make it out this year.
For anyone intersted in seeing the set, you can find it on my flickr account via:
The 2009 Edmonton Pride Parade!
There is a good chance that I may go back and edit a few of the photos to put them up on my site here too. When that happens, I’ll be sure to bring it up 
Somehow during the day of the parade I managed to sprain my toe which is interesting to say the least as I had no idea until I removed my footwear that evening. I also got hit in the face by a stray beach ball and had to dive from water guns and water ballons a few times. Very treacherous!
Expanding the family!
So a good friend of mine is moving away and needed to find homes for the pets that she could not bring with her. Another person had offered to take care of this lil guy, but it fell through.
Xerxes is his name - he’s a killer green anole and prefers to be alone from other lizards (whom he will fight to the death with), but he is really so super cute and nice and awesome!
He was super stressed from the moving and everything, but after a few hours of settling in and finding him a good place he sure found his color again!
There is certainly going to be many more photos of this guy! He’s already showing off his dewlap to everyone and seems to have scared the cat with it too.
I am so excited to have him and so happy to be able to take care of him! 
Oh and regarding the photos - they were taken with Marilyn’s old Tamron 80-210mm F/3.8-4 Model 103A. It only works in manual, which is really forcing me to be sharp with estimating available light and exposure. Its been really fun to use lately and I have a number of other photos that I’ve taken in the past week with it.
Mini Shoot, and Candied Apples
I’ve been pretty busy with the camera lately it seems. On Sunday I had a mini shoot with Marilyn, and ended up with a few good photos between the two of us. On Monday I also went out for a very long walk with Katie and managed a pile more photos that I have yet to really go through. From the looks of it my current processing folder has well over 1000 photos again.
Anyway here are the spoils from Sunday:
First is what I snagged of Marilyn
And what Marilyn snagged of me
There is going to be a ton more updates from the past week, possibly more from this little session too.
Also this evening I was given this tastefully wonderful caramel apple from Marilyn:
It ended up being the most happiest lil caramel apple! My septum ended up giving it eyes and my upper lip gave it a smile. It was entirely unplanned and yet entirely awesome.
I think that I am also still buzzing from all the sugar.
If I am lucky I’ll fall asleep soon here - I have an appointment to attend in 5 hours now…
Continuing with the updates!
So, continuing with the updates, the portfolio style is being modified to blend in better - though there is still much to go for it to be nice and clean. Still some breakage and some unhappy borders here and there.
I’ve also managed to reorganize the albums, and finally add some of the newest items!
There are still a ton more photos that I have to edit and upload, but thankfully the ball is finally rolling enough for it to be possible to get this all done and finished
The next few days should bring about these changes, and hopefully by then there will be some more photos edited too. Yay!
New Site, updates finally on their way
Finally finally finally updating here!
Its been so long and I’ve been promising it for over a year I belive. Good things come to those who wait I suppose.
There is much to be updated and a whole slew of new stuff and features to be worked out. For now it is still certainly a work in progress, but it is progressing!
Saywhat?
