Photos: Mexico
Before the Trip Crossing the border into Mexico – through San Ysidro, San Diego. The plan – visit Tijuana, Mexico for a few hours while we were vacationing in Southern California. I called our car insurance provider to ensure we would be covered if something happened – minor damage all the way up to third party liability – she said no. Actually, she screamed NO in capital letters causing me massive frustration. In response I articulated that we were not the first, surly, to venture…

Photos: Pacific Costal Highway
Pacific Costal Highway The highway was beautiful – I’ll let the pictures do most of the talking. We travelled down the Pacific Costal Highway over a couple of days – it was a little tricky in our Boler, yet Bryce managed well. Be sure to stop a long the way, enjoy the ride and take in the view. Elephant seals on the coast – playing and swimming ashore. Something funny – there are campsites right on the shore, you won’t be able to sleep much…

Photos: Detroit
Detroit A few weeks ago I was in Detroit and I took some shots in the heart of the motor city. These photos make me happy and make me sad, all at once. I love Detroit and as a kid I used to dream of living in the big city – and Detroit was the closest big city. Baseball games, huge highways, towering buildings, and fancy airports. It was like the hub of awesomeness. I remember, as a kid, going to Tiger’s Stadium (that was…

Photos: Moose
A Moose! Two of them! In my backyard! So unbelievably awesome! Moose This happened on Sunday – yesterday – and just the day before I finished a photography course at a local university on how to use my camera in manual – like do everything in manual. Perfection – Pressure. Those are the two things I felt. Nothing like a little pressure, or an 800lbs momma moose in your face to make all of your knowledge come back so you can get a great shot.…

Photos: Holiday Christmas Card
Merry Christmas!!! This is our family holiday Christmas card – and, oh what fun it was!! First, the average temperature here in Norther Alberta has been right around -23 degrees C. Yucky. The couch is real – it’s really in the snow – no photoshop. The couch lives in our basement and well, this photo shoot took 6 hours, spread over 2 days (about 6 days apart). So, not only was this a photo shoot, it was also an arm workout, and well, I won’t…

Farmfair International is a great time. You get to stay warm, which is pretty…

Photos: First Snow 2013
First snow 2013 looks like winter is here…and I think it’s here to stay! Two days ago the grass was green and the sun was shining. Then 15 cm, or 6 inches dumped down on us. The dogs love the fluffy white stuff. First Snow 2013 Here’s Lily running no the paths though the weighed down trees. Such a little rascal, this one – she eats her body weight in snow each year. I mean, it’s like she thinks it’s a snack or a treat.…
