old annapolis road

Last week I went hiking with some friends on the Old Annapolis Road hiking trail off the 103. It was so nice to the sun again, although next time we will definitely make sure to remember the bug spray...

chester waterfront

I've been doing a bit of photography for Bryler Publications Inc. based in Chester, NS. In between taking photos of a couple of the authors, Kat and I walked along the waterfront and I took advantage of the amazing lighting. I'm heading back tomorrow morning, so hopefully I will be able to get a few more!

Today I took advantage of being at my parents place (and the sun), and took some photos outside in our backyard. This is a panorama of about 5 photos, which I cropped down to probably only 4 or so. 

boston harbor

For my birthday, Chris surprised me with a wide angle lens for my camera, and then treated me to a day of free photo taking. This meant that we while at the islands in Boston Harbor, I was allowed to spend as much time taking photos as I wanted without feeling guilty for holding him up (he knows me too well). 

While I don't think that any of these photos were actually taken with the wide angle, many more have been, and it. is. amazing. It takes great landscape photos, and will be a wonderful asset when we're honeymooning in China next month!

I thought it also might be fitting to show some Boston photos as the Stanley Cup final game 7 starts in just over an hour. Chris and his family are huge Bruins fans, so they've been my adopted team this year, and I'm rooting for them tonight :) 

grains of sand

In the past week, I defended my Master's thesis, packed up my apartment in Toronto and moved back to Halifax. I spent the weekend catching up with friends and family, and hopefully now I will have some time to get around to taking more photos, and posting older photos that I've already taken.

These few photos are from my trip to Boston when we spent a couple of hours on a beautiful beach in Provincetown. The weather in Halifax is cold and rainy, so I'm hoping more of these days are not too far away!

I have my Master's defence on Tuesday afternoon, so I've been preparing my talk and getting ready for questions. Since it was beautiful this morning I went over to one of the nicer parts of campus to do a little reading in the sun. Here are some photos of my morning :)

a beautiful day in the neighbourhood

Well friends, it's Friday! 

Looks like we made it through another week! In Toronto we ended up getting an unexpected beautiful day - instead of the rain and thundershowers that was predicted, we enjoyed the sun and a high of 29. 

I spent the morning at the Travel Clinic getting vaccines and medication for my trip to China this summer, and then spent the afternoon sorting out some thesis paperwork, photographing and enjoying a delicious frozen caffeinated beverage in the sun.  

It looks like the rest of the weekend might be a bit more dismal, but I'm planning to get together with some friends, so that should make up for it :)

Anyone have exciting plans?
