Edmonton Fringe Festival 2017

So we are on our easter leave...study leave...project break and this is my flatmate Lewis who has been studying diligently...while I ahve been messing around and taking photos instead of studiously completing my coursework.

Oops!

Went on a spontaneous mini-trip with my girlfriend and my friend Jeff. I wanted to really try out my new 1.8 Lens and I'm absolutely loving it. It's a bit harder to focus in my opinion but when you do you get absolutely gorgeous shots. I hope you like the shots!

luckily, I have two wintercoats..

It's early march and freezing: what is she doing here? Remind me of international women's day? :-)

The Redwoods at Muir Woods.

In the Swiss Alps near the Italian border is a small valley town called Lostallo. For the 5th summer in a row Shankra festival made this place its home for a goa-psytrance festival.

I shot this roll at ISO 200 by mistake. D'oh. Photoshop helped a lot.

Contemplating

We have quite a few squirrels on the property because we have large oak trees. The stump he's sitting on is from a 150-year-old oak tree that we had to cut down last fall. I use it now to feed the squirrels & birds. This is the only squirrel that has a very dark brown triangular-shaped band across his nose. Not quite sure how that happens. Do you know?

I am looking at Leslie Anne's delicious homemade creme brulee and THOSE THINGS. This was not a Peep-free date. Of course my real dessert was the sweet girl who make the creme brulee.
