DAY 285

Emily - Well thats it, the actual official end to footloose. The last party the grand hosted for all of us. This is only a very small portion of us all, only 25 of the cast and 4 production staff... It was so much fun and it was such a good experience and is totally going on my resume, haha!







Jeanine - "Four Eyes"

I got new glasses today.  I was inspired to do so by Em getting her first pair of glasses...they look great on her.

Day 284

Emily - "Helping Hand"

(Kinda weird I'm naming my photos...

Emily - Today, Heather and I went to a church with our youth group to make food for the salvation army. We made 7 giant casseroles filled with cheese, meat and veggies. It was actually a lot of fun. I got too wear gloves and stick my hands in to stir it all around it was really gross :p









Jeanine - "Time Out"

My photography class prompt today was all about taking time out to play.  All day long I thought about coming home and taking some time to create in my art journal.  I used to love to colour as a kid.  Alas, I let end of the day inertia take over and I only got out my watercolour crayons to snap this photo - after 11 pm.  Why do we do that?  Why do we "waste" time in front of the TV when we could be doing something we really enjoy?  Yes - taking the time to hang out with the ones we love while watching TV is important and good - probably not even a waste - but so is doing something with the time we are given at the end of the day...or anytime of the day for that matter.  Tonight a friend lies in hospital and we don't know what time he has left or how his time will be spent in the future if the recovery we pray for happens...it is a vivid reminder to spend our time not only with our loved ones but doing things we love to do.  Life - like childhood - is a short season.

Day 283

Emily - An eery feeling with this photo. I love full moons, well actually I love moons in general, anyways can't wait for halloween, one of my favourite holidays, even though we're not celebrating anything. HA!








Jeanine - "Mastering Manual Mode"

One of my goals for this blog this year was to use it to master Manual Mode on my camera.  Obviously I'm not there yet.  This was one of my attempts to capture falling leaves...ok, leaves thrown by Em.  I've still got a long way to go!  But as they say...practice makes perfect.

Day 282

Emily - "Doggy Heaven"

Once again happy thanksgiving. Had another thanksgiving dinner, first one with the new member of our family.








Jeanine - "Good Eyes"

We went for a trek through Warbler Woods this evening.  Me with my camera and Ian with his binoculars.  He spotted the two deer first.  They are so well camouflaged at this time of year.  A beautiful end to a perfect weekend.

Day 281

Emily - Happy thanksgiving to all :) I couldn't believe how warm it was today, I was actually sweating... Crazy! So here's my favourite flower which I couldn't believe was still in bloom considering it was october 10th :)








Jeanine - "Happy Thanksgiving"

So much to be thankful for today...not the least of which is this unbelievably warm weather.  What a glorious long weekend.  Happy Canadian Thankgiving Everyone!

Day 280

Emily - A little creepy but I love this photo. My mom and I went for a walk today, taking so many photos, its a lot of fun to do nothing on a nice day but take photos of whatever.











Jeanine - "Joy"

Em and I went for a walk on the beach this morning (Saturday).  The weather was glorious.  We took tons of photos and even stopped to play on the swings.  I love this shot because of the sheer joy expressed on her face.  We then packed a picnic lunch and spent the afternoon on the beach too.  Wearing sunscreen in October...whoda thunkit?

Day 279

Emily - Just a little obsessed... Yeah so I love playing monopoly at mcdonalds, it's not that I eat a mcdonalds a lot but my dad usually stops there to get a diet coke so I get his stickers :)








Jeanine - "Stuck"

The prompt today was all about shooting fallen leaves.  I love shuffling through and kicking up fallen leaves while walking along the sidewalk.  I thought this little guy was cute ... stuck under the side door mat.
