When spring came to town

I've been to New York a number of times, but never in the spring. You never know what kind of weather you'll get, and we got a bit of everything: fog, a gorgeous summer-like day, cold and rain. Luckily, some trees were already in bloom and the blossoms added such fabulous texture and color. My camera just ate it all up.

Happy Roid Week!

Polaroid Week has begun over at flickr. Check out this group and if you have any new polaroids to upload, you could win a pack of film ... worth it's weight in gold these days.

Ode to green

The green! She has come early this spring! I hope she is making her appearance in your part of the world.

Spring Adornments

Landon had his camera out the other day searching all over to see what was coming up. The above two are just a couple of his pictures.

Hello spring!

It's official as of tomorrow and I'm rather blissed out about it. The weather this week has been gorgeous and unusually warm for mid-March in Montreal.

In the spirit of spring and cleaning and such, this week I undertook Phase I of my massively ambitious decluttering project: books! I do love 'em but I have way too many of them. And right now, I value the space that will be created more. It's a huge task, and there are moments when I feel overwhelmed, but it's mostly been energizing. Now if I could only stop sneezing from all the dust that's been freed up.

Of course, before undertaking such a task, I had to read a book about it. And that book was Shed your stuff, change your life by Julie Morgenstern. I realized that my project was about more than just decluttering, but was part of a transition. Although I became a full-time photographer almost two years ago, the transformation has never really felt complete. Perhaps there's been some fear that I wouldn't succeed and that I should hang on to that old me "just in case". But I feel ready to let some of it go and to create the space necessary to nurture this more creative self.

Fond farewells

May wouldn't be the same without a trip (or two, or three) to the Montreal Botanical Gardens to walk amongst the blossoming trees in the arboretum. What a treat for the eyes and the nose. Alas, the show is over until next year.

Speaking of shows, I'm very excited to be going to Cavalia this evening, created by one of the founders of Montreal's own Cirque de Soleil.

Have a lovely weekend!

The most wonderful time of the year

May. It just may be my favorite month of the year. Because of this ....

It's Spring......Let's Throw the Baseball!

Kyle and Landon got in some quality baseball time last night. Mo-Jo helped retrieve the stray balls! After practice, Landon built a fire and roasted hot dogs! It felt good by the fire as its still a bit chilly at night! We are expecting rain tonight and possibly through the weekend.
