Monochrome Weekend

Another picture from the Bloedal Conservatory of the roof, with the camera pointed straight up!

Being in the Conservatory was like being in a huge humid greenhouse.

The huge palm fronds made for an interesting pattern against the roof of the Conservatory.

Skywatch Friday

For Skywatch Friday here are a few shots from my recent trip to Campbell River.

This is the small Quadra Island Ferry running between Campbell River and Quadra Island. It is about a half hour trip to use it.

And you can see the Ferry sailing off in the distance.
The skies were bright blue with the occasional puffy white clouds along the edge of the horizon.

Campbell River has a continuous Marina along its main street, which is actually the Island Highway. There is a seawall Walkway all along the shore which is beautiful to walk along and view the ocean and marinas.

And one final picture of the Boats for you with the blue sky behind. Nothing but blue skies!!

Today's Flowers

The water lilies along the lake edge in Mill Lake Park are all blooming right now.

We went to the Bloedal Conservatory in Vancouver yesterday looking for a cool place to take photos on a pouring rain day. This Calla Lily came out of the camera this way, I thought it kind of looked like a painting so here it is for you. I kind of like it this way!!

And lastly, a couple of white lilies from the Conservatory. It is a beautiful rainy day place to visit and enjoy. I will be putting up some more photos from it in the days to come.

Skywatch Friday

I finally have some semblance of photos back on my computer after the big crash!! It's been so long since I was last able to post some pictures, hope you all have not given up on me in the meantime!!

This was taken last weekend at Rocky Point Park. It was later in the evening and the light was getting sweet.  We weren't the only ones watching the skies.

We did not get to spend too much time at this park but it warrants going back for further exploration. We were on our way home from Vancouver and thought we would just stop for a quick look.

Still here!!

In case you were wondering what happened here to me and why I have not blogged lately, I am still here!!
My computer crashed and I had to buy another one. My computer was getting increasingly hard to deal with for a couple of weeks, we tryed all the repair things you do when your computer acts up, but it was an eventual thing. It crashed.
I bought another laptop and am getting it up and going. Its hard when you lose your info such as address books, favorites etc. It will take a while to get some of that back. I have not got my photos started, and I lost my Photoshop pirated edition on my dead computer, so will probably have to buy a real version. So I wanted to come here and let everyone know that I am still here and will be back soon with photos etc. Thanks to everyone who visits my blog and lets me know what you are thinking about it. Your visits matter to me, and I am looking forward to being back full force!!

Macro Monday

I thought for Macro Monday it was about time I gave everyone another dose of Scarf, my rescue kitten. It's been a while since she has been here and she's grown quite a bit since I introduced her here. You can see earlier pictures of her if you click on the Scarf tags.

About the only time I can get her to pose is when she is tired and finished playing. She doesn't just walk from place to place, she runs at full tilt and jumps over everything. Or rather flys!! If I tryed to clean that little gunky on her eye, she would scratch me or bite. She still has to learn to be gentle and trust.

The white cat in the right hand corner is Speed, our 12 year old cat. He is napping too. She exhausts him with her constant playing/scraping.

When all the scraping and fighting is done its time for a nap. You can see how much bigger Speed is than Scarf. She is catching up quick though!!

Color Carnival

This is my first time participating in Color Carnival. I took this picture at a recent Rock and Gem Show I attended. This is a Onyx Mortar and Pestle. I loved the colours of the stone.
