PEI Critters

Welcome back Everyone!

This week I'm highlighting some shots of critters that I took while in PEI. The middle 3 pics were all taken at New Argyle Beach, PEI. I think it was our favourite beach! Lots of critters to dig up and torment! ha!

1st Pic-A Snail and it's trail--makes a great background! This was taken at a small beach we stopped at to poke around (name unknown)

2nd Pic-A Crab--not sure of the kind--definitely not a green crab, as they are really agressive and these guys were scurring to get away from us--I don't blame them!

3rd Pic-a Razor Clam-we would dig these guys up and then watch and time them to see how long it took for them to sink into the mud! They're very fast!

4th pic-A Clam-not sure what kind, but he was being shy once we picked him up!

5th pic-a Starfish-this would make a good background too!

6th pic-A bunch of hermit crabs under the water! Can you guess how many there are?

Well, this week my fellow photographer, Melissa and I are off to the Toronto Zoo to shoot some more animal pics...I'm hoping to see the penguins this time as we had just missed them last time we were there..they opened like 2 days later! URGH...

Enjoy!

Flowers Pt. 2

Sorry for not posting last weekend...I babysat my cute little 3 year old neice last Saturday, went and saw Footloose with Brooke and on Sunday and Monday (the PA day), the girls and I went shopping in Watertown and Syracuse, so I had NO time.

EXCITING NEWS: This past week has seen me getting ready for something exciting! My friend and fellow photographer, Melissa and I are opening a website to sell our photos...Well, she's doing a lot of the website work and I've been busy uploading my photos, wish it were as easy as that sounds!

The Process: I always enhance the lighting on my photos as the camera doesn't always get it right, or I have it set for the wrong white balance! After that, I have to resize it and save it and then resize it for thumbnail size and save it again! Then I make a zip file for each one and then I can upload it to the site! Whew, no wonder I'm so tired today--that and I've been working for about 5 hrs today! The time consuming part is finding certain photos--when I'm searching for a certain one, I question why I needed to take so many pictures!! URGH!

Check back next week (around November 1st) and I will post the URL, so you can all check out the website. We'll announce it on Facebook too!

Hope you have a great weekend!

Here are some more flower photos from PEI! Enjoy!

Flowers from PEI

Hello Everyone! Today for your viewing pleasure, I have some flower pictures that I took during our travels down east. These were all taken at the Bottlehouse attraction when we were there...They have an awesome garden! Sorry a lot of these are the same colour--can you tell what my favourite flower colour is?

Anyway, I don't know the names of all these as I'm definitely not a gardener, so I hope you enjoy them all the same!

Enjoy!

More Scenes of PEI

Here are a few more scenic shots taken when we were out and about around PEI. Yep, we drove ALL around the whole province...it is one of the smallest ones! We saw a lot of great sights along the way. You could drive from one end of the province in less than 1 hr. But we like stopping a lot and torturing our kids to look at things they wouldn't get to see in Ontario, like potato museums, lighthouses, etc! They moaned and groaned a bit, but I think they enjoyed it!

1st & 2nd Pic-was taken between Cavendish and Kensington as we were out driving..the sky looks a bit dark as this was taken right before a storm came in

3rd Pic-taken by the Cape Egmont Lighthouse...Just this protrusion of sand sticking out into the water with this "hole in the wall"--reminds me of the one on Grand Manan Island

4th Pic-North Cape Wind Energy Centre---pretty cool sight with all the windmills and museum. This is the most Northern Point of PEI

5th Pic-Tignish Beach-it seemed to go on for miles

6th Pic-West Point Harbour--the tide was really low here (awesome light though)

Enjoy!



Landscapes of NB & PEI

I'll keep this short today as I'm sick with a head cold..thanks to my darling daughter for sharing her germs with me!

Here are some scenics taken along our journey through NB and PEI.

1st-St John River-taken while we were standing in the middle of the Hartland Covered Bridge

2nd-New Argyle Beach-taken because of the light

3rd-New Argyle Beach as the sun was setting

4th-East Point Light House-taken at the lookout beside the lighthouse

5th-Cavendish Beach-love that red sand

6th-Cavendish Beach-love that view

Travel Tip: I ALWAYS take a journal with me when we go on long trips, so I can remember what we did each day as well as the names of the beaches (in this case) or any other sites that we visit! It really helps me with this blog and identifying my thousands of pictures I take too!

Enjoy your week!
