Saunders Country Zoo, THE END

Welcome Back!

This time I'm highlighting the last of the photos from Saunders Country Zoo and Garden Centre near Ottawa. We had such a great visit that day, despite the humidity!

This time I have some more photos of the wallaby, he was up and walking around as we were leaving. I also included some photos of flowers I took in the zoo area as well as a fuzzy tree, which looked pretty cool!

Not sure what I'll share next time...I gotta go through the files!

Well, this week also went very fast....School is going great...I'm enjoying Illustrator and after one more assignment, I'll be done that course and onto the web stuff, I think!

On my day off on Friday, Keturah took my car to school so I didn't have a car...Zeek and I enjoyed the quiet day around the house, doing laundry and playing in the craft room!

On Saturday, Kevin and I went to Waterloo to see Brooke. We took her out shopping, Kevin bought her a new router and hooked it up. We also went to Costco for snacks to help her get through her upcoming exams...3 short weeks and she'll be home for Christmas! I'm tired today as we didn't get home til 11:30 or so...

Have a great week!

Saunders Country Zoo, Pt.9

Welcome Back!

This week I'm including more shots from the Saunders Country Zoo. These include the baby leopard checking out a sheep, some serval cats (they are for sale here too), donkeys, the horse and yak and a tortoise---I told you they had a variety of critters here!

Next time I'll have a few more photos from the Saunders Country Zoo and then that will be it! I'll have to start highlighting something else!

Well, this week went by quite fast...Lots of learning going on at school..I come home and my brain is full! :-) I started Adobe Illustrator this week, which is as challenging as Photoshop.

Glad I had today off...to do laundry, dishes and cleaning...Keturah went for her Driver's license today and got it on the first try---there goes my car! 

Not much planned for the weekend..probably do some homework and more cleaning and packing up my craft stuff! Kevin is back at QMS full time on Monday, so we will only have nights and weekends to work on the house.

Enjoy your weekend!

Saunders Country Zoo, Pt. 8

Welcome Back!

This time I have more shots of the animals I showed off last time...the babies---wallaby and leopard. They are just so cute! Not sure what it is with baby animals...but they are so sweet!

This week I'm testing out the Photoshop program while editing these photos, so hopefully they look alright. I've been using Photoshop Elements for so many years and now that I'm learning Photoshop at school I thought I'd try editing my photos using this full version! They look okay on screen, but once you resize them and save them and then post them into blogger, who knows what they'll look like! :-)

School is going well and I've been working on a lot of projects using Photoshop. On Monday I get to work on a cover for a visitor's guide and thought I'd do one for Grand Manan--my favourite place and future home! Speaking of home, we've been doing a major clear out of our basement and crawl space..man, I only helped yesterday and I'm wiped..thank goodness Kevin's been doing most of it! It will be worth it if we decide to sell!

We also headed to Ottawa on Thursday...We took Keturah to the Open House at Algonquin College..we went up early (after school) and had dinner with friends..hung out at Algonquin, went for a tour of the Vet Tech building, stopped back at our friends for another visit and got home at 12:30! Glad I didn't have school on Friday...I also let Keturah sleep in a bit!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

 

Saunders Country Zoo, Pt. 7

Welcome Back!

This time I'm highlighting more animals from the Saunders Country Critters Zoo and Garden Center in Ottawa, Ontario.

These include another shot of the baby wallaby, tucked into a little pouch. He seemed to really like it! The other shots are of a cute, little baby leopard. He was just having his snack, so he had to finish that before he socialized with his visitors! He was so sweet and so soft too! I didn't stop smiling the whole time! 

Well, school is still going well. I am now working in Photoshop---ahh..the fun stuff, finally! This week was pretty tiring as my car died on me on Sunday ...Only a sensor, but an expensive one! But, at least it wasn't the transmission, which we thought it was...After picking it up and it dying on us again, I finally picked it up Friday night! Of course, this was Kevin's week working at QMS, so I had to drive him to work and then drive to Kingston to school! Lots of driving!

On a good note, I got to spend Friday with my good friend, Gia, shopping in Kingston, coffee and lunch too! I also got to visit with Lynn and Dave and see their Christmas Shop, which opened today!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend and more animal shots next week!

Saunders Country Zoo, Pt. 6

Welcome Back!

This time I'm highlighting the variety of animals that they show off at the show they offer at the very far end of the zoo. Unfortunately, there was a birthday party going on, so we had to wait for all those noisy, little kiddies. But, as mentioned, once, they left (in future pics), we got some good shots. These pics include some adults hands, etc because everyone was so excited to pet all these animals! I managed to pet them AND snap away with my camera!

Here are:

1st-guinea pig

2nd-albino hedgehog

3rd-baby mink

4th-baby fox

5th-tamandua

6th-8th-baby wallaby

I'll have a few more next time too!

Well, this week was uneventful...school is going good. Finished a marketing/sales course this week. It was actually quite interesting with stuff that I think I might use! Next week I should start HTML and then onward and upward from there! I've been feeling pretty crappy with allergies and now pink eye! SIGH...not sure what I'm allergic too though! Glad to have today off to laze around and hang out with my doggie! :-)

Have a great weekend!

Saunders Country Zoo, Pt. 5

Welcome Back!

This time I'm highlighting a few more of the farm animals from Saunders Farm. This time some donkey pics, some pigs and a couple of lazy llamas...I rarely see them laying around like this, so I snapped away!

Next time I'll be highlighting the animals that they showcase as well as bring them around for you to pet, etc. I think I got some really cute photos there (after the show was done and all those noisy little kids had left!)

Well, I survived another week of school. It's going pretty good. I'm on my third course and also did 3 exams for the courses I was exempted from. Can't wait to get into the web design stuff! Nothing overly exciting this week, just Keturah hitting a raccoon and damaging my bumper this week! Kevin had to take it in for repair work...it's as good as new!

Have a great week!

Saunders Country Zoo, Pt. 4

Welcome Back!

This time I'm highlighting more of the mini horse and llama, along with a couple of donkey pics!

Sorry I missed posting on Friday. Kevin and I went on a road trip to Campbellford for the day as I had to pick up an order. We also stopped at the Big Apple and when we got home, I was feeling kind of crappy..I've been fighting off Keturah's cold and have managed to so far (knock on wood!)

Brooke made it home on Saturday and yes, her train was late yet again, but she caught her connecting train, so got home almost on time! Yesterday, we had a yummy turkey dinner and visit with my family and today we are heading to Kevin's family for another yummy meal!

I think I will try posting only once per week...Life is getting a bit busier, with school and life! :-) I will likely post once on the weekend..no set day though! I'll surprise you!

Have a great week!
