Now here’s some blatant advertising, a quick shot of a double shot. Americano that is. I am part way through my morning walk and thought today perhaps a little coffee break was in order. Now this is where I become more than a little perturbed. Prior to writing this particular paragraph I had another paragraph, …
Month: October 2012
Had a great weekend visiting with Ayron and fam. Of course special times with Madden were in order and a request to take some Halloween pictures. This is one of a bunch. It’s not one of my favourites or anything, just one I uploaded to try out the new blog template “Ideation and Intent”
It’s my baby’s birthday today. Although she’s certainly no longer a baby, being that she’s now 32, she is my baby and likely always will. We are visiting my baby and her family for the weekend to celebrate and bond but by the time this is posted we may be home. In my zeal to …
Nothing more beautiful, more powerful, than the love of a grandparent for their grandchild. I’m constantly reminded of this every time I visit my daughter and family. I’m especially cognizant of it when I gaze at the lampblack sketch that was done of my wife and our grandson. It was a birthday gift for my …
One thing photography has given me, or re-given I guess, is the awareness of the light and how it plays out on our surroundings. I’m more aware of the beauty around me now that I’ve taken the camera up again. It amazes me what we can take for granted. It provides me a challenge though, …

It’s my son’s birthday today, but I can’t wish him happy birthday because he passed away suddenly 12 years ago, on Jan. 18, of a rare heart condition called Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia (AVRD). If he was with us today he would be turning 30 years old. I miss him, sometimes painfully, and I think …
I didn’t sleep well last night, I lay in bed until well after 11 pm and I couldn’t get to sleep. As I tossed about trying to grab the elusive dreamworld but my mind kept working. It continued to grab snippets of thoughts, pondered them momentarily and then moved on to the next one. Honesty …
I’m on the search, seeking out that perfect cup of coffee. Hell, not even perfect, just one I’d choose to sip time and time again. MY perfect cup of coffee. I have more time now, well not necessarily more time just a different use of it. I have different interests and priorities, not job/work …
I hate to admit it but I think our summer is over. The fall colours are showing and autumn is on the cusp. The days are noticeably shorter and while it’s still amazingly gorgeous here in the Kootenay’s I can’t help but feel just a little sad. I’m having so much fun, or most of …
