Bravado
Heidi Klopp of the Gables slo-pitch team takes one for the team - almost. She's on the dunk tank platform as part of a fundraiser for the team's diamond fees and for the Grand Bend Baseball Project.

Motorcycle Man
Matthew Jaques was visiting from Nanaimo, BC, this weekend. Great to see him after all these years. My mom thought he looked very handsome...

Blood on Its Petals
I thought this looked a little sinister, so I juiced it up a notch. On the hunt for more places to host a gallery show of my work. Looking at Toronto, US and England...

Hosed Down
Five Fun Days is a great event where local kids are invited to come and share company for a week. It's made even more interesting by the fact that the activities are punctuated by the presence of North Middlesex firefighters who hose down the kids with fire hoses. Sometimes they get each other instead.

Get in the Mood
Hit the splash pad with a pair of twins. Can't tell whether these are one girl or one or each, but they were both a blast and I really enjoyed our time together shooting!

Bow Tie
I've been very slow in posting this week as I'm still recovering from my show, and have been insanely busy with the newspaper. I'm also reevaluating my work and what I want to say with it. Bear with me!

Hard Snap
Jordana (left) has a shot other teams fear, but it was a member of this blue team, the Blue Balls, that Anjhela should have feared. She got hit in the face with a slapshot and has a cut on her nose to prove it.

Puss 'n Sandals
Gloria found four barn kittens in a trailer on her property, and they were very adorable. They've since been taken to a wild animal rescue charity, but they were fun while we knew them.

Propeller
Thank you to everyone who came to my show Saturday, and to those who continue to come. If you haven't seen it, and have been following my work here, you have to see the show. It's great to see the work large and in a gallery; Bliss Studio is open weekends with the show coming down July 26.
There will be more shows, too. I'm already planning! If you can think of a good venue where my work would be appreciated, comment here or send me a note...

To Sleep, Perchance to Dream
A line from Hamlet, which Anjhela is studying for her Shakespeare summer class. I didn't know that was where the quote was from when I thought of it for this photo. This is what the beds look like at Bonnie Doone Manor-on-the-Beach in Grand Bend. All new beds and linens after a small fire caused smoke and water damage in March. Looks amazing there.
After 200 days of this project, I'm inspired to get some sleep. It was a late one last night getting ready for my show tomorrow. Still some finishing touches to do, but it looks amazing. I hope you'll come!
Bliss Studio, right at the four-way stop sign when you come into Port Franks from MacPherson's. I'm there and Anjhela's playing music from 2-6 p.m.
