A Storybook Dream
We had very hot weather for a trip to Storybook Gardens with Jayda, Tye, Leanne and Quinn. This was shot with my Miranda Sensoret on film, and it was a real challenge to get it to scan well.

She's Down
Christine got a cleat to the shin, and it went behind her shinpad, so she was in quite a bit of pain. But she wasn't down for long, as per coach's instructions.

The Gang's All Here
Well, almost (missing several people, including Glen and the girls). This isn't a very creative photo, but it's my family, and I learned some interesting things about it this weekend. Like Aunt Nancy discovered when we arrived in Canada and the town from where we came in France. Our earliest known ancestor dates back to Normandy in 1595!

Miranda
Angela shot with the Miranda Sensoret I bought for fifty cents at a Salvation Army blowout sale, after which it would have been thrown out. It was Angela's idea to buy it, and it's a good thing because we have a tonne of old 35mm film in the freezer.

Moonlight
This was barely touched in Photoshop because it actually looked this way overnight. The clouds are lit by post-midnight full moon light. Long exposure helps, but to the eye, this is pretty close to how it looked. Seriously incredible!

Serrated Edges
Thought this flower's petals were pretty cool. Remind me of my tape dispenser photo from last week...

Rollie Fingers
This reminds me of my favourite baseball player from childhood; I liked his name (and his mustache), and Mookie Wilson's name, too. Other than that, my real favourite baseball player was my mom, but everyone knows that...

Muscles
This chipmunk likes to stuff his face, but does so because he doesn't want Speedy to get his peanuts. I'm sure Muscles will have more than enough to get him through the winter with the stash he built this weekend.

Stick Your Neck Out
This little turtle was taking his chances during our visit to the Gamble-Hess camp in Pike Bay. If he were around when Tye was riding his tricycle, he would have been in trouble for sure.

Yum
Although I don't eat meat, you might like these Hayter's turkey shish-kabobs James Eddington made up. He also brewed up this parsnip pear soup, which was amazing. Look for these and other recipes in the Grand Bend Strip soon (subscribers and newsstand copies only).
