So. I’m into juicing now. Well ok, yesterday I bought a juicer and I’m on my second juice. So, I’m totally into juicing. For reals yo. It’s been one day and I scoff at junk food. I can feel the power and energy of sweet vegetables coursing through my veins… It may be psychological at
This photo was taken on July 3, 2008 in Albania. While it maybe isn’t the most technically perfect image, I love it anyway. The Albania country side is dotted with these concrete bunkers (700,000 of them); remnants from the communist regime. Now, they don’t serve much more purpose than looking exceptionally cute (probably not the
I talked to my mom on the phone last night. She told me I need to blog more. She’s right, but after so many false starts over the last couple of months, it is kind of embarrassing to come back and expect you to like me just as much. Like one of my favourite food
This photo was taken on March 28, 2009 in Southwest Bolivia. It features a whole bunch of good things like mountains, a soda lake, amazing grass, and llamas. (See, I told you was going to feature more animals!) I love the composition and the colour in this image, yet another goody (see the first one,
This photo was taken on June 23, 2008 in Santorini, Greece. I love this image, the tone makes me swoon, its dreamy. Whenever I look at it I think about being some other than here. I love it so much that this picture has been shortlisted on end up on our walls – humongous styles
This photo (of an extremely rare mountain gorilla!!!) was taken on October 25, 2008 in Bwindi Imprenetrable National Park in Uganda. And yes, we were that close. (For the photo geeks out there, this was zoomed into 90mm on a 1.6x crop factor sensor, so it is the equivalent of about 150mm of zoom.) I
Dear Running: It’s been awhile, so I thought I would check in and see how you’ve been. I’m a little embarrassed about just how long it’s been — but you hurt me — worse than I thought you did at the time. And it took a long time for me to get over it. And
Yes. I know. It’s been weeks and weeks and weeks since I posted a “real” blog post – or at least one with lots of words. And my first post back is about fruit flies. I apologize. It’s been crazy since mid-June. So, before I talk about fruit flies, let me tell you just how
This photo was taken on September 15, 2008, once again at the Himba orphanage in Namibia. If you’ve been following along for awhile, you may remember this picture of the world’s most adorable baby that I posted about three months ago. Since then, I’ve been planning on sharing my “Angelina Jolie” moment with you. When
This photo was taken on February 7, 2009 in Valparaiso, Chile. You can tell from the hubs’ expression that he was less than impressed with my sweet photography skillz. Little did he know, all that time trying to get the perfect angle would result in a super sweet picture. And in fact, this became one
Remember when I pronounced that I was going to do an iPhoneography challenge for the month of April. And then remember when I failed? Well – for 30 days in June and July I successfully completed a neat 30-day photography challenge that I found on pinterest! It was hosted by Mary of White Peach Photography.
This picture was taken on July 21, 2008 in London. If your name is Sam (or Graham), you may be wondering how the heck this picture was taken on July 21, 2008 in London, when on July 19, 2008* I was in Vancouver at your wedding and on July 21, 2008 I was flying to
Looking up in the Sagrada Familia. This image was taken on Monday, July 11, 2011 in Barcelona, Spain. I realize that it is Friday – an up to this point I’ve been very good with keeping my “Travel Tuesday” posts on time. This week though, we were in a Barcelona flat without wifi (who knew
Yesterday we went to Carcassonne, I had never been before and it was pretty amazing. However, I was disappointed to learn that Carcassonne is a bit like Disneyland (albeit a really old Disneyland), reconstructed under the watchful eye of the detail oriented Eugène Viollet-le-Duc in 1853.
It’s been a whirlwind of an adventure through Paris, the Loire Valley and just yesterday, we arrived in the south of France at the Chateau Ventenac. Now that we’ve settled in the Chateau for a week, I’m going to get writing again – so you can expect a handful of posts this and next week!
