Day 10--Nostalgia.
When I was little I got a free promotional camera from a bank that went out of business. It was a terrible camera. It never wound the film right, so every picture I took with that camera was double-exposed. Most of those pictures were just a mess, but some were surprisingly cool. I had shots of people suddenly flying over earthquake wreckage or swimming with the whales at Sea World, and I could never predict what would be in that photo envelope when I picked it up at the store.
I haven't thought about any of that in years, but today I was looking at my two favorite shots of the day and started missing those random double exposures. That's just not something that happens with digital, unless you make it happen after the fact, so that's what I did.
Emily sat in this box when she was a baby at Christmas, and now I'm recreating the scene with Annika. (Yes, there are two flashback stories in one double picture!) The other picture is my Christmas tree through a water glass at night. It's weird, but I wanted to try something different, and I like it. :o)
The Car Show
On Sunday, The Manitoba Transit Heritage Association (MTHA) featured three fine vintage buses from it’s fleet at the Car Show in the south parking lot of the Garden City Shopping Centre. A local Mecca for car & vintage vehicle enthusiasts, the MTHA proudly displayed the 1956 Western Flyer “Scenic Cruiser”, the 1966 Western Flyer P-41 Canuck and the 1984 Flyer D901 transit bus.
another photo of us at holmesville, just to prove there really were deer there. i haven't yet been able to find one of that big old water buffalo. i got a ring in my nose just to be like that buffalo, because i loved him so much. it's true! no, not really.
look at that sweet gentle tongue, so mindful of little fingers. mmm, hamburger bun.
i've been looking around to try and find out what kind of deer this small buck might be, as i thought i remembered only whitetail deer here. turns out the white deer are only really found in new york state. they are whitetail deer though, they just have a mutation that makes them white all over (not albino; this is just like the white-not-albino squirrels in exeter, which are actually just common grey squirrels who are white). all of the animals at holmesville were brought in from somewhere (llamas!) so i guess this little dude came from new york.
Traffic was terrible on Friday, so I pulled out the trusty map book and found an alternate route: a neighborhood cut-through between Chamblee-Tucker and Pleasantdale.
I veered off of Chamblee-Tucker at an alarming speed (it's hard to keep pace with traffic while looking for a street you've never seen before!) and coasted up the hill and into the quiet neighborhood. As I took a turn and drove downhill again, I noticed that the houses were quite unlike a lot of the 50's ranch homes that populate much of Tucker. Lots of full-height windows extending into the apex of the roof line. Flat-roofed carports. Dark, dark natural wood tones and big orange double front doors. The works. I'm not certain, but it seems to me that these were homes of the 60's and 70's. The neighborhood's quiet, dark feel only added to the uniqueness of it. By the time I picked my camera up from the passenger seat, the homes were growing more typical, but I felt this one captured it decently. I'll have to go back for more at a later date.
These may be extremely normal to you, reading this, but as someone who has spent most of his life in 80's and 90's architecture, they're very unusual and foreign to me.
Made in a size 6T. Bit too small for my little lady so will have to size up and put this one away for her little sister!
Flashback to the 30th March 2013 when beautiful Comet L4 Pan-STARRS graced our skies. This image was taken on 30th March 2013 looking out over Lough Neagh. At that time the comet was about two degrees below The Andromeda Spiral (M31).
A year ago Monty underwent Cruciate ligament surgery on his back leg. He had totally severed his own ligament and had to have a synthetic one put in. It was probably the worst six months with a dog we have ever experienced. He could not walk for several weeks and had to be lifted up and down stairs and onto the bed. We also had to be concerned that he did not get depressed as he saw Abby and Sam go out every day without him. It took a full six months to get him back to the point he could go out with them. Thankfully the surgery was a complete success and he is back to his old self. Hopefully never again. I should also point out it cost a little over $3000.00 for anyone who finds themselves having to deal with this.
Dont let me hear you say lifes taking you nowhere, angel
Come get up my baby
Look at that sky, lifes begun
Nights are warm and the days are young
Come get up my baby
Theres my baby, lost thats all
Once Im begging you save her little soul
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Come get up my baby
Last night they loved you, opening doors and pulling some strings, angel
Come get up my baby
In walked luck and you looked in time
Never look back, walk tall, act fine
Come get up my baby
Ill stick with you baby for a thousand years
Nothings gonna touch you in these golden years, gold
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Come get up my baby
Some of these days, and it wont be long
Gonna drive back down where you once belonged
In the back of a dream car twenty foot long
Dont cry my sweet, dont break my heart
Doing all right, but you gotta get smart
Wish upon, wish upon, day upon day, I believe oh lord
I believe all the way
Come get up my baby
Run for the shadows, run for the shadows, run for the shadows in these golden years
Theres my baby, lost thats all
Once Im begging you save her little soul
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Come get up my baby
Dont let me hear you say lifes taking you nowhere, angel
Come get up my baby
Run for the shadows, run for the shadows
Run for the shadows in these golden years
Ill stick with you baby for a thousand years
Nothings gonna touch you in these golden years, gold
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop

This is a picture I took while we (my Mom, me and my siblings) were at Six Flags. Basically just a shot to show I've been to Six Flags and stuff.
They NEED us as babies, they NEED us even more as teens because the world they live in is not nice, the world they live in doesn’t show grace, the world they live in is full of hate. There is good but I have sadly seen mostly not so good and it saddens my heart and I can’t possibility save them all. This is our Aus and we pray this only makes him stronger, we pray he can stand up for who he is and we pray it makes him into the man he is growing into, so far I’m not disappointed in how he handles it but it does make me sad to see him depressed because of it.
I finally finished my first version of this. Pattern from Made by Rae.
