Random Photo Post

Posted in Photos by Kara

I’m bored. Kyle’s watching Gold Rush on TV and I’m not a fan, so I’m getting posts ready to go for this week.

I just thought I’d throw in a random Sunday update with a couple photos I’ve taken recently.

First, a photo of the “view” behind my house last week. It’s been SUPER foggy lately and while the sun tries its hardest to break through all the cloud, it rarely succeeded before I had to go to work in the afternoon. I was letting Daphne out for her morning tinkle time and noticed eerie yet pretty the sun looked through the fog. It was taken in manual mode at 1/3200 sec. and f/20:

This photo I actually took this morning after I had Kyle take my weekly baby bump photo. Who doesn’t like taking photos of their pets? Anyway, I was using a gum wrapper as “bait” (she LOOVES mint!) to get Daphne to sit still, and just as I clicked the shutter she licked her lips. The camera was in full-auto mode, but I think the end result is quite amusing:

That’s it for today! Hope you’re having a lovely Sunday!

A tour, a tour!

I finally have for your creepin’ convenience, photos of our new house! I went with a slideshow instead of a video tour, only because it’s easier in a way. That, and I hate listening to the sound of my voice.

So, of you’re reading this in a reader, you may want to click on through to my actual blog page to view the pictures, because I’m pretty sure the slideshow won’t show up in readers.

Enjoy!

I shall explain that I didn’t take pictures of bathrooms because really, unless it’s AMAZING, a bathroom is a bathroom. I have three FULL bathrooms, so that means three toilets, three sinks, and three full bath tubs to clean. Lucky me!

And what on Earth are we going to do with that awful green, black and blue room? The black “magnetic” stripe is textured almost like a chalkboard and is noticeably raised from the rest of the wall. If we can’t get rid of it completely, we’re going to paint it a different colour (which will probably take 3 or 4 coats of paint!) and then paint the rest of the walls a solid colour. Not too sure what colour yet, but I’ll figure it out soon enough!

The bedrooms also all have gorgeous crown molding in them which makes them feel amazing. I just love lying in bed and staring at it!!

Hope you enjoyed the tour! We’re finally settled right in :)

Any colour combo suggestions for that awful striped room?

Wildlife everywhere!

Yesterday Kyle and I went on a little roadtrip to visit friends in Princeton, BC. It twas a lovely visit and there were deer EVERYWHERE! Docile too!

Anyway, we had the grand tour and I took a couple cellphone pictures, one of a doe chilling out about 20 feet from our friends’ deck, and another of a couple of really cute sheep at their (well, the wife’s parent’s) farm.
