Lucy

I didn't get my picture of the day until this evening - not sure if the creative juices are stuck but at least the subject is CUTE!

Shopping!

Today's pictures were taken at two different times - lunchtime on my stroll to enjoy the first day of spring and shopping after work with Jacki.

Bank of Montreal building taken from the alley

Yes my fascination with churches

Popeye - almost as tall as me! Found him in a shop at Eau Claire on my lunchtime walk

Miss Olive Oyl

Dangerous wolf - as found at the Bass Pro Shop store

I want this chair! I've always wanted a chair & a half - great for lounging with your faithful companion stretched out beside you.

Journey Home

Today I've decided to try and document my journey home from work. I'll provide a little commentary as well.

 Stand behind the yellow line (waiting for the train)

Exiting the train

Walking in the scary parkade

Are those footsteps I hear?

Any parking spots available?

Running from zombies*

Almost safe

Was there something really there?

Safe in the bike room

Hallway to safety

Mail anyone!?

Mysterious elevator (aka freight elevator)

Going up!

Final hallway

Home!

Ok you don't have to worry, there wasn't anyone besides the security guard following me in the parkade. Safe, sound and sassy!

*Footsteps and zombies referenced due to watching "The Walking Dead" for 2 hours a night the past 2 weeks. Yes I'm weird and proud of it.

View from the 15th Floor

Since my night photography class has been postponed until the first week in April, I thought I'd take my smaller camera with me everywhere I go for the next month and take a picture a day. Let's hope this goes better than my quilt-a-day attempt (which I do plan on finishing!). Sure wish I had time to do everything I want.

So here are my pictures from today. Both taken from my office view looking west down on the old Court house. First picture was taken around 11:45 am and the second around 3:40 pm. Welcome to Calgary where the weather can change quickly.

ENJOY!!

Acrylics Art Class

So a few friends and I thought we'd try something new so we took an art class.  It was put on by the City of Calgary Recreation division, was a full 6 hours long and all supplies included. The class was small - only 6 of us - but it was fun.  If the description of the class indicated we'd paint 4 pictures, I'd say they were nuts.  Any way, it was a lot of fun and here are my masterpieces!

Down town Shots

Today Lucy & I went down town to get some pictures of the new Bow Building and the freaky statue in front. We walked around and got a few shot - ENJOY!
