It sounded pretty good so I gave it a try and it turned out well.

See pictures of it below. Continue reading Bread →

Due to the nice (relative) weather Afsheen and I thought it would be good to go see the Christmas lights at the legislature. It was a nice evening for it.

I got some good practice taking pictures of lights at night. I still need more practice!

See below for my photos.

On Saturday Geoff, Abril and I randomly decided to go to the Cariwest parade.
It was nice weather for it. It started about 30 minutes late, had a weird break in it that we almost left but was good weather and we had fun.

This Canada Day, I decided I wanted to practice with my camera and learn how to do fireworks pictures.
In the afternoon I took a walk around the Legislature and area to get an idea of where I wanted to be and where others were.
Ultimately I decided I would try from my brother’s balcony.
I went back to my place, got my tripod and remote shutter and went back to his place.

At 11pm the bridge lit up for the first time and there were some other fireworks at other locations going on in the background.
About 5 minutes later the fireworks started. Unfortunately about half the fireworks were behind a building but I still got some nice shots and learned some things that I needed to figure out.

On New Year’s Eve we invited Erin’s parents over for supper.
We made lobster. We had two lobsters for the 4 of us and they turned out really good.
After the lobster we had a bean salad from the cookbook I gave Erin for Christmas, steamed asparagus, a shrimp ring, Caesar salad and roasted potatoes.
For dessert we had pumpkin pie that Erin’s mum had made. It was all scrumptious.
We played some Dominion after supper and dishes. As it got closer to midnight we had Champagne that Erin’s parents had brought. We put on our snow clothes and headed to Churchill Square to see the fireworks. It was cold out but not too bad as we were dressed warm, got their as the fireworks just started and then walked back to my place.

On Saturday was my company Christmas Party and Erin won a reindeer full of Chocolate and goodies! On Sunday we went to Erin’s parents and they gave us a live tree. A Norfolk Island Pine to be exact.

A little bit more than a week ago, I decided to try to take some night/sunset pictures for some practice with my camera. It was a nice night and I knew they would be quickly getting colder.
I went to the Legislature and some shots of the river valley and High Level bridge. Click to see them. Continue reading Night photography →

Erin and I took a quick walk around the legislature today. It was a nice day that wasn’t too hot or windy. We took some pictures. Erin did most of the flower ones. I did some of the other ones. Click below to see the photos:

Yesterday with Aidyn we made some gluten free cookies. His mum made the dough and we rolled it out, cut, baked and decorated them. We used the ninja cookie cutters I got from Erin and also an Easter egg and Easter bunny one.

Below you can see some of the results of my cookies:
