Day 154


Emily - We have theses pretty flower boxes in our back yard that we put many different types of flowers into. By the end of the summer they are huge. I think it kind of looks like a jungle of flowers.
















Jeanine - "Changing Colour"

This was taken for my class prompt today.  We were asked to look at the beauty of a flower as it changes into it's final bloom.  This is a shot of a lupine in my backyard.  Need to get weeding this weekend.

Day 153


Emily - For my food and nutrition class we went on a tour of five farms today. On one of the farms there were little bunnies. We all got to hold this little guy who was only born a few days ago. His eyes were still not open.














Jeanine - "Number Eight"

It's that time of year again...soccer time.  Em's wearing her favourite number.

Day 152


Emily - While we were watching a movie in french class my friend comes over to me and shows me this sketch she was doing of me. She did this sketch from a small photo on her ipod and it took her thirty minutes. I have a very talented friend :)














Jeanine - "Nature's Bliss - Green"

I started another online photography class today called Picture Colour. For the next 30 days we will be studying the use of colour in photography.  This shot - of the birdhouse in the backyard - is my attempt to capture and contrast the colour green.

Day 151


Emily - After a scorching hot day, and after having to endure that through a soccer practice, I swam in our pool for the first time this year. Yes, it was cold but oh so refreshing :)














"Judge Deb"

Today was her last day sitting as a judge in London.  She has presided over courtroom number 7 for my entire career and even before that.  She is a great judge, role model and friend.  She is beloved by all.  She will be sorely missed.

Day 150!!!!!


Emily - Thank you to mother nature for this wonderful weather (finally). This photo was taken at 8:30pm and as you can see from the thermometer, it was 25 degrees. Pretty sweet.
















Jeanine - "Top Down"

This week's prompt for our class is Bird's Eye View - Ian put up the ladder for me so I could take this shot.  Felt like the first real day of summer today  - it was steamy!   Had the top down all day.  Gorgeous day!  Gorgeous car!

Day 149


Emily - I got my half-way-through-the-blog camera today but unfortunately I'm not allowed to use it or even know its whereabouts until July 1st. So with my not as cool camera I took this birdseye view shot which is the weekly prompt.







Jeanine - "The Playbook"

When I sat next to Em on the couch this morning I could not believe the number of fingerprints on Ian's new toy for work.  She can't see them looking straight on to her Tetris game, but when I went and got my camera and showed her the shots...she couldn't believe it either.  At least if someone steals it they might leave a fingerprint - ha!
