Playing with Fruit

Project 52-Sweet Shot Tuesday

I am very late this week getting my P52 photo in, it has been a blizzard (or two) around here some of this week! 

 

I had an idea for the theme for this, but with fresh snow etc. it was easier to stay at home and put off going to the store for fresh fruit. 

I finally went yesterday and here is some of the photos from the fruit I bought.

 

The nice part about taking photos of fruit is after when you get to eat it. I cut up so much fruit I will be snacking on it for a few days to come.

I put slices of fruit in my water bottle as well. Always trying to find ways of making water drinks more fun to drink!

 

I love love eating Fruit. It is cool, refreshing, good for you, tastes like summer to me. It's one of my favorite things!

Stormy Skies!

Skywatch Friday

Us girls took a trip yesterday down to Lethbridge for a bit of shopping, dining, and girl time. Our trip back home at the end of the day was a sky full of dramatic clouds and colours and Rainbows.

 

Just a hint of a rainbow in the distance. By the time I dug my camera out of the bag it was starting to fade. I thought maybe I had missed it but it only got better as the miles went by.

 

We saw flocks and flocks of birds flying across the sky in front of the advancing storm. You can see a V of birds above the red and white sign. Just one of many flocks.

 

The sky is so huge in this country! I can't get over the vastness of it.

You would think that having lived in B.C. where it rains all the time, that one would get to see Rainbows more often. Truth is we hardly saw one at all. That is because you need the sun to shine at the same time as it rains, and while it rained a lot it was hardly ever sunny at the same time, hence, no rainbows to see. 

I have been in Alberta for two months and just yesterday saw my first Rainbow!! How gorgeous and beautiful is that!!!

I love the colours of the stormy clouds. You can't paint that colour!!

 

A Grain Elevator ahead on the side of the road. 

 

One end of the Rainbow!

 

My camera did not do justice to the sunset that was happening behind us seen through the side rear mirror. The sky was a blaze of yellow,orange and reds.

I went on a short road trip with my daughter to Calgary, Alberta for her eye appointment. 

 

We had been worried about the weather conditions for the day we left because it had snowed quite heavily a couple days before we had to go.

 

It ended up to be a very nice day, cold though but no snow fell for our trip. The skies were quite grey and heavy when we left for Calgary, but the closer we got the better the weather was.

We had to go right into downtown Calgary amongst all the highrises and narrow busy streets typical of the inner city. We parked and walked the short distance to the building she had to go to for her appointment. These were the towering structures we walked by.

 

Some of the construction taking place in the downtown area.

 

I loved the reflections of other buildings and the sky in the windows of the highrises.

 

The sun shining in the glass panes.

 

This huge sculpture was in the front of one of the buildings receiving a facelift!

 

I took all these photos with my little Sony point and shoot, and really wished I had my Nikon to try and do these a bit more justice! Capture the hugeness of these buildings! 

A couple of places we traveled through gave me a bit of a feeling of claustrophobia for their sheer size!

 

Gorgeous Architecture!

 

All these photos are SOOC, straight out of the camera!
