137/365 my monday in pictures

more i-phone fun

my sunday in pictures...

a walk to meet Kim and her family

at a local brunch hotspot, Nellie's

where I had my all time favourite breakfast food

and they make it right

no fancy cinnamon or whip cream

just plain old yummy goodness

and how can you go wrong

when you eat somewhere that

has packaged cheez whiz on the table

well fed and ready to explore kidlets...

we headed off to this art market...

where I found many pretties

including this gem ,

my new ticking "time" bomb

the very talented Blair (her blog here) had a table with a friend

showcasing her photographs

Scott bought a beautiful Costa Rica beach photograph

that he has beside his bed,

daydreaming about the day he opens

his charter fishing business :)

of course what is a wander through Kensington

without some store snooping...

Shelby and I fell in love with these

t-shirts but apparently there was no way

she was going to be able to wear a size 6

add in a stop at Crave cupcake and Starbucks

and you have a wonderful afternoon exploring.

we then all came back to

our place for a visit and

to eat cupcakes!

dinner at my mom/dad's

and a drive by the house rounded out

this kick arse day.

last night's sky

going cloud crazy

I thought these clouds were awesome and even though I left my good camera at home, I usually have a point and shoot with me, so in the middle of the road I start to take pictures of the sky. People looked at me odd (not really new for me) and I asked Scott if I was the only one that thought the sky was amazing and was I crazy & he says "pretty much".

The downfall to my 365 project is that while I am busy trying to get a specific picture and doing a blog post every night  I don't end up posting any of the other pictures I take.

These are from the last few months:

"the positive side"

~ on highway no. 2, the only positive thing about all the rain. I am not a huge fan of photoshop/altering the picture but I have enjoyed changing some of my photos to an antique/sepia tone/ black & white lately

"Colin and Tracey"

~ the above picture was taken out at Baynes Lake, while I was sitting around the campfire. Hopefully Colin gets the title...it was the first thing I thought of when I saw it.

"Green Simplicity"

"the gossipist"

"untitled"

~ the next 2 pictures were taken at a dinner out where Kaeden needed to be patient, he played very quietly and creatively with his toy soldiers.

Montana Girls Trip - a photo essay

it's a long post but I promise mostly pictures...

~Shelby, day one, during a pit stop in the Crowsnest Pass
~ the first thing I always buy when going into the States (this one was bought in Whitefish and then a bagful of mini's were bought at Target)
~ Flathead lake, on our way home from shopping in Missoula (Day 2)
~ I did not think it was possible to find someone who was going to take more pictures then me but Miss Taylor was always snapping.
~ the girls, they are not everyday friends (they are close in age (16&17), but don't go to the same school or have the same social crowd but see each other occasionally at Kaeden's birthday parties etc...) but they really got along well this trip and are both outrageously photogenic. 

~  a new  favourite
~ my new home...at least in my dreams

~ the 3 above pictures are of little islands on Flathead lake, each one had a home on it

~ something about sailboats, water and reflections that I find very relaxing

~a picture I took for Scott 

~ above two pictures taken from the parking lot of our hotel~ the girls, end of our trip.

a HUGE thank you to Charmaine who stopped many many MANY times for us so we could take pictures and it was more than a little stressful as we would tell her we wanted to stop when she was almost past the area. We decided the next trip we would give up a day of shopping so we could concentrate on taking pictures as there were many beautiful place we could have gone.
