Saturday night treat...

Tonight's photo was my Saturday night treat. I had some artichoke asiago dip, some wine and watched Machete. Not a bad combination if you asked me :)

Morning frost...

This really reminds me of my childhood. It's something simple, it's about winter, but it's neat to see what frost can do to a window or the effects of frost on a window. I remembered seeing this last year on this window and thought to myself, someday I'll try to take a photo of it. I took some photos this morning. I'm not truly doing it it justice, but it was my first attempt at capturing the frost.

A victorious evening!


Our team won at soccer! This isn't an unusual occurrence, we win about half our games, but tonight just felt good. We went out as we usually do, but we went to a different spot. We went to the Clocktower Pub. The food was pretty good, but the service was pretty crappy!

I decided to take a few team photos from within the pub and at Lansdowne Dome where we play.













and then we see the violent Sara!

A long day...

Today's day at work was a long day, and no better way to finish it off with putting up my photo :)

Here's a couple of creative shots that I took. I decided to play around my subject for today. It was well worth it and well enjoyed with good friends :)

Winter street view..


Wasn't sure what photo I was going to take today. I decided to take a street view, a winter street view. A bit boring, but what can I say, I came home with a headache and decided to stay home. Had a nice long nap and then realized I had to take a photo, and at this time at night, I figured I would look around and see what I could take. So here's my photo for today.

Winter dedication or just craziness!

Some people just make me wonder. Is it really worth it? I hadn't selected my shot for the day, but I figured I'd get something in the downtown area as I was playing volleyball tonight at a high school gym downtown. I had a few minutes to spare before the game and after I parked my car, I looked around and nothing caught my eye. As I walked closer to the school entrance, right next to the entrance I noticed this bicycle. At first I was thinking, oh my, someone left their bicycle here before the snow, and then took a second look and realized, nope this bike is got here tonight. If you look under the lower frame section, you notice dark glob, well that's dirty snow that has gathered from splashing from the front tire. The person riding this bike even has a contraption to keep his hands warm over the steering wheel! Now, I might do silly things and some people might even think they are crazy at times, but I would not be driving my bicycle at -29 degrees Celsius (including windchill and that is -20 Fahrenheit for those readers South of the border) in the winter. The non windchill weather was around -19 degrees Celsius, and figure the -29 is with regular windchill, not the extra draft/wind that the bicycle produces. Well, not sure what else to say other than this made for an interesting photo today.

Another gaming Sunday...

Tonight was another gaming night. My friend Tariq wanted to host a gaming night, and 7 of us decided to come in and play. Tonight's game was Arkham Horror, which isn't the easiest game to understand, when first looking at it, but it is a fun game. If you ever feel like playing the world of H.P. Lovecraft, try this game out!
