A little bit about me :)

I am a stay at home mom (for the time being) who LOVES taking photos and is bound and determined to make the absolute most of my little point and shoot (Canon PowerShot A710) that we bought in February 2007 before the birth of my son.


As it gets slower and slower these days, we just made the choice to purchase another point and shoot - so there will be a mix of shots from the A710 and now the SX130 (purchased February 2011)


Happy Shooting!

Sunplace Special

I was first introduced to this awesome little garden place by our playgroup.


This little area is set up and maintained by volunteers from the community and students, as well as a few caretakers from the Agricultural Center.


It's a special area for children. It serves as a great place for hands on learning and a way to connect and create an appreciation for nature and the wild life that inhabits the area :)

We LOVE it. It is only in it's first or second year and already much has been done here :) I can't wait to see it's progress this year!



These photos were taken in September... so there are scarecrows that were made by local children in various places throughout the garden.


















Just a few shots from the beautiful garden :)























Some favorites

from the past year :)























More flowers :)
















Spring is only .....

48 days and 20 hours away.... March 21st

Well the official first day of spring anyway.. the date that we may finally say winter weather is over could be well into April :( but hopefully not!


With that optimistic thought... I will share a few shots from last April :)



I'm sick of winter and these are giving me a bit of warmth today :)













































Color on the gray days

I'm trying to block out winter today, so I am going through some photos from last spring and summer :)
