Big fun in a little leaf pile

Our neighbours were raking their leaves yesterday and my kids got in on the action.
I think this is a major downfall of living in a new development, we seriously lack an abundance of leaves in the fall!

Here goes Zanz:









Ray's go at it:

Miranda part 2

After a lot of re-scheduling due to bad weather, a crashed computer needing to be replaced, and a crazy, busy summer, I have finally finished the last of Miranda's pictures. Too tired to write captions so I'll just say that obviously some were taken at a farmer's field with his out buildings and some were taken in a canola field. Enjoy!

These are just some of my favourites.

Miranda

This wonderful, beautiful girl, our neighbour, our babysitter for the last 6 years, just graduated from high school last month and we couldn't be more happy for her. As a gift I told her I would take some graduation pictures of her to surprise her parents with. This is very common in the USA, they call them senior portraits down there, but it's not very common here.
Anyway, today we did our first session with her boyfriend out at the Clifford E. Lee Nature Sanctuary. According to there map, we walked about 5.6 Kms around the sanctuary to different locations. I took 226 shots, whittled them down to 25 to edit and here are just a few of my favourites.
