Dear dog, I know you have spent your life from 8 weeks of age on with a high quality, fancy lens, high speed shutter camera in your face. How about an example: So when I’m trying to take a picture of you with a low pixel, built in lens, takes forever, cell phone camera can [...]
Books
Favorite Young Adult Series #1
I love listening to audiobooks that I download from our local library. The library has a huge selection of books available. I often pick young adult and children books because the drama is usually less intense and they are often shorter quicker reads. Another aspect I love about Young Adult books is that they are [...]

Wordless Wednesday – Old Barn
I love the details in old barns. (I used picnik’s 1960′s filter on these pictures)
Horses
Horses in a River
As I’ve mentioned before one of my favorite parts of the Vermont 100 is watching the horses. The owners take such good care of their animals, at the Tracer Brook Aid station they stop to let the horses cool off in the stream. Here’s a little photo story I put together. Sometimes it takes the [...]
Life
The Crown Affair
As a young child, living the the greater Toronto Area, I decided to go sledding on the snowbanks by my tiny suburban driveway before school one morning. The snowbank was steep and I smashed my face into the driveway. I cracked my brand new front tooth diagonally, starting a drama that has recently had another [...]

When Mice are Cute

Horses

Last weekend we traveled to Vermont so Adam could run the Vermont 100. As did last year I blogged about the horse race run at the same time on the same course on my FillyRunner blog. I wanted to share some of the pictures I took of these amazing animals that were more portrait like. [...]
Life
Summer
As a freckled skin, heat sensitive person I’m not generally a summer person. I chose to stay in an area that gets snow because I like the cold. But there are some things I love about summer in New Hampshire (although I’m sure I could get the same things in plenty of places). The availability [...]
Cats
The “Other” Cat
One of the purposes of this blog is to stay in touch with friends and family. I post a lot about my life, the hubby and our pup Cooper. I sometimes mention Audrey, our pretty gray kitty. But I realized this weekend I very rarely mention our third pet. HappyCat is pretty much just a [...]
House
The Window Sills
Because we had a day off work for independence day, and because it was the hottest day so far this summer, Adam decided to celebrate his lack of independence from our house. Our house is a bit of a fixer upper. The window sills were one of the problems pointed out in inspection. After waiting [...]
