44-52-2011: Bursting Balloons

Have you ever had someone take something intangible from you?  It’s not easy to explain, but it hurts, even more so when it is a friend, and in the end they manage to damage the friendship, but they probably won’t understand what they did, mainly because even you can’t really put your feelings into words. It’s not like one little thing…

Day 303 – Taken to the Cleaners

303/365 (Oct 30, 2011) – A rainy Sunday called for something different. We were out running errands and I looked at my photo idea list and laundromat was on there. Funny thing is that I had no idea where any laundromats were. Only because I’ve never used the services of one because when we rented, our buildings had a laundry…

Day 302 – Empty Spaces

302/365 (Oct 29, 2011) – I was out on the scoot today for some shopping and errands around the city. On the way home I took a spin through Stanley Park for fun and came to the realization that it’s about time to dig out the heated gloves. Brrr, chilly ride! It was pretty quiet in the park, most of…

Day 299 – An Apple a Day?

299/365 (Oct 26, 2011) – I was poking around the kitchen drawers this evening and this rattled into sight. What’s so special about a can opener? Lots! This tiny little juice can opener is about 30-40 years old. One came in every package of lunch sized Sun Rype apple juice cans. My Granny used to have these little cans of…

Day 298 – Wall-E is Losing His Marbles

298/365 (Oct 25, 2011) – Ever have one of those days? Weeks? Months? Trying to juggle things has become a bit more of a challenge. I have always been used to managing as much as two full time contracts, my online teaching, and crazy amounts of volunteer hours. The difference is that where I could manage my own time and…

Day 297 – Not Sure What to Say About This…

297/36 (Oct 24, 2011) – Really. I don’t know what to say. I had a half hour to prepare for a VHF radio class I had to teach tonight and eat dinner and I needed to get a shot in there somewhere. So I stuffed the camera lens inside a glass and Kirk looked in the bottom…. and this was…

43-52-2011: Too close for comfort

As this US Coast Guard helicopter circled around we took some shots of it. As it came close overhead (this is as close as it appears, probably no more htan about 30 feet overhead) I started to wonder what the downdraft would feel like. A split second later I was almost thrown to the ground! I spun around and put…
