Week 40: Sunday, October 3rd, 2010

So this week's post is another sunset one (previous sunset post was in Week 22). We've had some crazy weather lately, and one of the side effects is some beautiful sunsets ... when we're not being drenched with a freak torrential downpour.

This shot was taken on the way to dinner with a friend of mine. They say the best camera is the one you have with you, and this was taken with my iPhone 4 with HDR on (which basically means it takes three shots and merges them so you don't end up with really dark patches in your photos).

Anyhow. Hope you like it! :)

Week 39: Sushi!

So I didn't actually have sushi this week. I was out and saw this little guy at a store we were at. He just seemed so happy!

Week 38: Sunday, September 19th, 2010

So the second post for today. I went for a walk around Kingston, and ended up having iced tea with some friends downtown. I really liked the colors in this shot - although I can't say I recommend the cranberry apple iced tea from the Tea Room.

Week 37: Sunday, September 19th, 2010

So a double post today. I love to cook, and potlucks give me a great chance to experiment with new dishes on unsuspecting groups of people ... I mean ... um ... create delicious dishes that I have made several times before and know how they're going to turn out! :)

I digress. So this week's shot was a Mexican bean salad I made for a potluck. The main ingredients are black beans, red kidney beans and white kidney beans, as well as bell peppers, sweetcorn and red onions. The real kicker is the dressing though - so delicious!! For those interested in recreating it, you can find the recipe here

Just fyi - I substituted Tabasco for hot pepper sauce, and regular vinegar for red wine vinegar. I also added in some garam masala for kicks.

Week 37: Upcoming!

So the good news is that I have a shot done for this week. The bad news is that I don't have internet at home, and my new work computer is locked down so I can't upload from here either. Hopefully I'll have internet by Friday, so there'll be two new shots up this week! (Weeks 37 and 38!)

Week 36: Sunday, September 5th, 2010

Another candle shot, similar to Weeks 31 and 10.

Week 35: Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

So I'm currently in between places - I'm moving to Kingston to start my PhD this September, so I'm splitting my time between Ottawa and there while I move down all my stuff.

This week's shot is pretty self-explanatory and will be familiar to anyone who has ever moved in a small car. I don't know how my parents do it, but every time I think I've filled up my car to capacity, they manage to fit in a bookshelf, or a chair, or a suitcase, or they move something and out pops an elephant wearing a top hat. It's nothing short of a miracle.
