Yay - back to work!

Took a little drive to the Fraser River last Sunday. Peaceful.

Back to work this week - decent. :)

Off the track for a bit...

Have been busy with work and now a short medical leave. Kind of pathetic, but I miss my office. Can't wait to get back.

Then I hope the weather improves, since it's fricken below zero and freezing. Thank God I don't HAVE to go out for that reason only. I want to get some more HDR shots!!!! Missing my picture taking days......

Wow - not a heck of a lot new these days.....

Too busy to take pictures. Too lazy to go out in the ugly weather. One of these days...........

Just a couple of early morning pictures taken on my iPhone........ February 1.

Christmas 2010 :)

Some Christmas putzing around with HDR.

Barb and Ray's.

Beautiful Christmas Tree.

The decorations across the way.

Christmas Tree close up.

VGH - 12th Avenue.

SNOW!!!!!!!!

Photos take around 1 p.m. today.  

HDR and Macro roundup

Where they are all organized at the moment.

November 12th - walked to Rmd Ctr

No tripod so had to balance on RR's car. It's "ok" and I especially love the colours! Grunge setting.

I edited it to include the car window for the reflection at Nonie's suggestion.

Giant Rainbow November 5th

Taken while waiting for a red light. It was so huge I had to take two photos and join them - that's why it looks so weird. I think I would have needed some kind of wide angle lens to get the whole thing in one shot anyway. But it was huge and lovely!

Testing the new settings

Love this photo by Nonie! It's hanging in our elevator. :)  Thanks, Nonie!

Richmond City Hall - I love the colours!

Granville Avenue across from City Hall.

12th Avenue by VGH. Fuzzy, bit of a breeze - and zoomed in. Doesn't work as well.

RTC October 22, night. Supposed to be a full moon but it was cloudy/rainy.

Zooming in makes them too grainy! :|

September 21, 2010 - on the dyke across from YVR

I love sumacs. It's fuzzy because there was a breeze.

Tonemaps of the sky

September 7th - a cloudy night - from our balcony.

September 18 - another cloudy night - from Ray and Barb's balcony.

Richmond Community Garden - August 19, 2010

After Minoru Park, Bea and I went to Richmond Community Garden, which is located at the far west end of Westminster Highway. You have to go past Terra Nova and turn right on Barnard and then find Westminster again and go west. It's a very calm and peaceful there.

Two cute garden items.

Love the tonemaps of the beans - so colourful.

These orange flowers are nasturtiums - Bea says you can put them in salads!!!!!!!!

August 19, 2010 - Minoru Park

More tonemaps. They are lots of fun and work best if there is a lot of colour selection.

Bea sitting on a park bench. I love how it looks!
