The sunset in Grand Bend tonight. This photo was very dark in the bottom half where the water and sand are so I changed the brightness on that area only. The sky area is as it was taken in by the camera. I love how the horizon looks curved upward! Cool

When I looked at this dirty old snow in the ditch, the sun was causing it to shimmer and it reminded me of glitter that we use in digital scrapping. So I took a photo of it. ;)

I was intrigued by the reflections in the ice on my way home from work.....voila :)

Where I work :)

February 21, 2009

Icy roads made the trip to work a bit nasty again! Neat photo though :)

Another stormy day on the way to work yesterday!! Oh, I can't wait until Spring!!!!!!!!!

Megan had to show me her 6 year molars that she got BEFORE she was 5 1/2 years old!!!

February 16, 2009

Today, John and I visited Jen, Megan and Dylan! These are my adopted grandchildren (not Jen ;) ) and I babysat them for a few years before we moved. They are precious! Megan got the chicken pox a couple of weeks ago and passed it along to her brother who is almost finished them now. You can still see a couple of marks on Megan's face but Dylan is still covered with dried up marks. Jen's glad it is over ;)

Yesterday, I set up my Etsy Store. Of course I called it "The Alabaster Box" since that has been my business name for 8 years now and why would I change ;) I create a banner quickly although I may change it soon. I have 9 items for sale and more to upload. Hoping to get lots of stuff on there and figure out a way to market them online. Now to figure out shipping costs!!! What a job ;)

Valentine's Day came and went. Had a visit with Mom and Dad but that was the extent of our day. So not much to capture except this small EMPTY box of chocolates I gave John last week as an early Valentine gift.

February 13, 2009

It was so much nicer in person! But this is the moon one cold evening at sunset! I thought I might be able to capture it but guess I need a stronger lense!!

February 12, 2009

A frosty morning this week on my way to work! The morning was beautiful, sunny but frost hung in the air and on all the trees and brush. I can't resist taking pictures of it......so captivating!

February 11, 2009

The Sunset! Unfortunately, after rushing to capture this photo, I realized that the beach was under construction! So there are some ugly construction items in the way of the sunset and I couldn't get any closer to the beach than this as it's all fenced off.

Another photo on the way to capturing the sunset. I like this photo :)

February 9, 2009

There was a beautiful sunset happening so I was rushing to get to Grand Bend so I could take a photo of it over the lake. On the way I couldn't resist stopping to take this photo of a barn in the sunset ;)

My new camera bag. Got a great deal and everything fits :)

Awww, isn't he cute! He's resting his head on his toy squeezy bone with his puppy dog on top of him.
Last night we were watching "Finding Nemo" and Bub was watching too. I tried to get a pic of it but of course he moved as soon as I did. It was so cute though.

February 6, 2009

Me and Bub today at the computer desk. He loves to sit on my lap while I'm on the computer but sometimes, I just can't work when he's here. Before I put him down today, I thought I'd take a pic of us for the record :)

February 5, 2009

I drove past this fence and just had to go back with my camera to get a photo of it all snow covered. It was prettier yesterday because the sun was out but this will have to do since I forgot my camera yesterday! There is an apple orchard in behind so it's very pretty :) (I'm posting for the 5th but I took this photo on the 6th)

February 4, 2009

and the snow piling continues! This is Bub's "corral" in the backyard.

February 3, 2009

More "moving to Toronto" happened yesterday. Lisa and I loaded up her car and off she went. Felt bad though that she had to unpack and haul all that up to the 5th floor all by herself. She did it and is somewhat settled now.

A view of the church in Crediton

Crazy street signs in Crediton. They can't make up their minds what to call the crossroad. ;)

My Mom and Dad are 2 of the most important people to me. This is a wintry photo of their house. The tree in the foreground is a Magnolia Tree and it has the most beautiful grey velvety buds on it even in this COLD weather.

I LOVE photos of barns. My hope is to take a series of different barns and fences over the year.

PA Day fun at Simply Sew (my workplace). That's my "boss" Kristine in the middle and all the little munchkins that showed up to make all sorts of crafts for the day!
