Artist or Criminal?
I completely forgot about these photos. I found them today while I was looking for something else. A few months ago, I was getting ready to renew my roll of white seemless paper because it was getting dirty and slightly torn.
I figured it would make a great canvas for Finn to fingerpaint on, so we took out his paints and I set him free. He had a great time, and after he was finished, I attempted to get a shot of him holding out his hands so they would be in focus and the rest of him would be blurry. The only problem is that it kind of looks like he has blood on his hands!
Canada turns 141
Yesterday was Canada's 141st birthday. The boys celebrated, along with thousands of others at a local park. The weather was perfect, and the boys had fun.
I finally managed to do something that I'd wanted to do for a long time. I've never taken pictures of fireworks before, so last night I loaded my camera and tripod into the car, and headed out. It took me a long time to find a parking spot, and my trek to the site was also very time-consuming. Thankfully I found a great spot to set up.
Here are some of the results.
1,000,000 pennies
I think I will picking up pennies more often now when I see them on the sidewalk. You never know when something like this will happen again.

Holy Genetically Modified Food, Batman!
Costco is a big store. They sell a lot of stuff. And most of their stuff come in big containers. Huge boxes of cereal, giant containers of mayo, etc. Lately I've notice the individual specimens of food are larger than normal as well. Big steaks, large bananas, and huge strawberries and potatoes.
Just look at these things. This potato was enormous. Seriously, I only had to peel this one and one other potato for a meal, and we had leftover. For reference, I've taken a photo of it next to my shoe. I wear a ladies 8.
And then there is this strawberry. It was delicious, but Greg and I were a little afraid to eat it. What the heck did they inject it with? Some sort of steroid or growth hormone? Thought I'd take a picture of it in a carton of extra-large eggs. 18 pack. From Costco.
Time to invest in some sliding shorts
Yesterday's double-header was not so good. Unfortunately, we lost both games, but at least the first one wasn't a complete blow-out. We where mercied in the second, as the score was 15-1 by the 3rd inning.
The first game was a lot of fun though. We got a few runs, and I made some good plays at third base. I also hit quite well, but never managed to make it past first base. I attempted to get on second, however my uber-graceful slide just wasn't enough. So I was out, and all I have to show for it is a scratched up lower leg and a whole lot of skin missing from my upper thigh/butt area. It was really hard to sleep last night, and I have no idea how I'm going to make it through the day with pants on. I'd post a photo, but I don't think people really want to see a bad case of road rash on a big, swollen leg!
I am, however, very happy with this self-portrait I took yesterday. I was not very happy with the current one that I have on my photography site, so I tried to take a few more. This was the best of the bunch. It really shows my wrinkles though. Maybe I shouldn't have sharpened it so much in Photoshop!!
