Colorful afghan on these cold Spring evenings

I decided to take another photo of something in the apartment. Stephanie brought home an afghan that her grandmother had made for her, and I really like the multi-color look. Since it's wet rainy and cold, I figured it would be appropriate to take a photo of something comforting.

Patio spaceship or skynet has arrived

Today as I was reading through my RSS feeds, I saw a reference to "skynet" being launched. In the terminator movie, the reference to launching skynet was on April 19th, 2011, which was yesterday. The end of the world should be happening soon. All that being said, I was looking for something different to take a photo of, and went into my back patio/porch and grabbed a shot of this, which looked a little spacelike and I made the correlation with the skynet article that I read today.

One of those days...

Just one of those days. I came home after my gaming night and still felt a bit hungry (I had a donair sub from Centretown pizza). I was looking for some junk food and ended up having some ice cream. There wasn't a lot left in the container, but I guess that's a good thing, cause it meant I didn't eat a lot of it.

Spring growth

As I was walking to my front door, I noticed this in the front yard and had to take a photo. I've been living in this apartment for over 2 years, and each year I notice these tulips popping up. Last year they were cut as soon as the lawn cutting company came in and cut the grass. On an interesting note, yesterday I went for a walk around Dow's Lake and the tulips were just starting to come out of the ground compared (all I could see was some green stuff) to these which are already blooming (at least kind of blooming, they are proud and happy to be out!) These are the first flowers I've seen in the neighborhood. It's nice that they are in my front yard! :)

A hole or many holes

Was looking for something different to take a photo of, and realized that this was something that I had in my apartment. So there's a hole or many holes, depends on how you look at it.

Should I go?

Should I also go down this path? I think so...

Spring rain

This day felt like a true Spring day in Ottawa. The day started out by being a very gray day, and it eventually progressed to rain and I tried to get a few photos of the rain and the misty/foggy Ottawa. This shot looks Ottawa facing North/East from Little Italy. You can see in the distance the foggy areas that cover the top of buildings.

The other photo is an attempt of capturing the rain falling on the ground and seeing the water accumulate on the ground. I also like the different looks of the ground and the pooling of the water.

BBQ Time

Today I opened up the BBQ for the first time this year. The weather was really nice, the BBQ warmed up nicely and I did some burgers, yummy burgers! The smell of a BBQ really reminded me of the Spring, warmer weather and envy of nice steaks, baked potatoes, veggies, and other good stuff cooked on the BBQ. As you can see in the lower picture, the burgers were really tasty! I'm really looking forward to more BBQ'ing and nice weather.

One of my cameras

Tonight, as I was trying to figure out what I was going to take for my photo, I decided to take a photo of one of my cameras. This one is a special little camera that came to me as a gift a while ago, and it always reminds me of that person and how I like taking photos. I always get a kick at hitting the little button on the top and seeing the flash go off. I might be a toy, but it's fun and reminds me of how fun photography can be. As my 98th post of the year, here's the a photo of that camera.

Another texture item in my apt.

When I got home from work today, I was supposed to head out, but I had a headache and rested instead. Since I had not taken a photo earlier, I had to scramble around my place and find something else I wanted to take a photo of and I decided to look for something different. I decided to look for something with some texture. I came up with this photo, it's a bit dark, sombre, but it works.

Intertwined

I was looking around my apartment for something interesting to take a photo of and came up with this. I has some texture and movement, nothing fancy, but capable of many things.

Getting home

After a very late night game of soccer, this is the last view that I get before walking into my apt. I'm not the biggest fan of those 11pm soccer games. I get home around 12:15am, wide awake and not ready for bed. Only good thing I can say, I napped earlier hoping that I wouldn't be too tired tomorrow morning.

Light scales

Today I looked for something different, and came up with these photos. I decided to see how play with light and a new texture, and this is the result:

Mmm Muffins...

My roommate Amy often spoils me. She usually makes muffins every week or so and usually offers me a muffin. I figured I would take a photo of this week's muffins: blueberry muffins. The whole apartment smells of blueberry muffins, yummy!

Quick and easy dinner

I decided to highlight my dinner. I got home and went right to doing some cleaning, did a load of laundry and vacuumed the apartment. I figured I had to make myself a quick dinner as I play volleyball in a few hours and supposed to meet a few friends at a bar down the street before my game. I figured I'd cook something quick and easy. Here's my dinner :)

Hanging up the laundry

I didn't get out of my apartment today. I wasn't feeling well and took a sick day. As I am heading out of town on the weekend, I figured I had to do some laundry and thought I'd catch a part of my laundry cycle in my photos. As to save some energy, I use a drying rack to hang up my laundry. Normally, my clothes are dried within 24hrs, depending how much water they have retained. I also do not add any extra heat or doing anything extra.

Gathering dust...

I decided to take a pic of something precious to me, but something I also take for granted. Years ago, I used to spend a lot of time on the twanger, but nowadays, I don't which is really too bad. I need to find the time and play a bit more, it's a good stress relief. Here's a pic of my baby:

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.
