Digital images essentially reduced the importance of Polaroid pictures in our society. But people still have nostalgia for them in scrapbooking purposes. So frames and actions are available in Photoshop to give your images that polaroid look. I found a new free internet photo service that lets you create polaroids using various effects sans photoshop.

Doggy Daycare
With Adam’s foot injury, Cooper hasn’t been getting his normal daily mileage in. So I decided to take him to our local doggy daycare for the day. I know they have a good reputation, and we already go there for training so I didn’t even check out the facility. I just dropped him off and [...]

Down by the Ponds
One of my aunts has two pretty little ponds in her backyard. Going on a tangent my town has 7 mosquito pools that have tested positive for Eastern Equine Encephelitis so I don’t know if I would want to have a pond in my backyard. Back on topic, I was outside taking pictures of the [...]
Life
Urgent Care
My husband is an outdoors person. He does ultramarathons, he climbs big cliffs, he does crazy hikes. His body is an important part of his life. He needs his legs in top shape to be happy. So when he called me to tell me he had rolled his ankle while running. I knew he was [...]
101 in 1001
Immigration Woes
I love my country. I love both my countries. I love being able to travel so freely between Canada and the United States. I hate the cost of immigration. This weekend consisted of visiting my mother and my grandfather in Quebec. I brought Cooper (thus fulfilling one of the requirements of my 101 in 1001). [...]

The Eaglet
The Eaglet is a prominent free standing spire in Franconia Notch, New Hampshire. It is regularly climbed and is one of the features pointed out on the trailside signs. Being the photography nut that I am I decided to play with depth of field a little bit. I put the flowers out of focus in [...]

Franconia Notch Recreational Trail
The Franconia Notch Recreational Trail is not called a Bike Path. It is essentially the bike path for the notch because the only other road through it is federal interstate I-93, but it is not a regulation bike path. Cyclists must ride on relatively fast grades, sharing the path with pedestrians, dogs and other cyclists. [...]
Climbing
Cannon Cliff
I’ve been driving to Canada a lot this summer. I used to do a lot of hiking in the White Mountains. When I see Cannon Mountain I know I’m well on my way to my destination. It’s always beautiful scenery. But when my husband sees Cannon all he sees is the cliff. Full size here. [...]
New Hampshire
Here he makes Men
People from New Hampshire seem to come in two types. Those who adore their state with a passion and even suggesting a move to a different state draws insults to that other state. And those who can’t stand New Hampshire and move either South or to a real city as soon as they can afford [...]

Obedience Doggy
Cooper and I have started him on the path to higher puppy education. We started the Basic Manners Class I at Pet-Agree in Candia tonight. We’ve been doing basic obedience exercises with Cooper since he was 8 weeks old because I strongly believe that a trained dog is a happy dog. But we were having [...]
