More of My Photography

Thanksgiving Day Country Drive

Hello everyone, I am a little late in posting but as we all say, it is better late than never. On Thanksgiving Day, my friend Russ and I took a long drive in the country. We drove from Edmonton, south to Pigeon Lake. Our first stop was the town of Mulhurst, we first drove down main street which runs along the beach. The first stop was to view the lake and it was a beautifull day but the wind was a little chilly. We took a whole mess of photos of some of the buildings and the lake. There were a couple of Seadoo's on the lake, great to photograph.

 

        These are some of the old buildings on main street.

Here is a shot along the beach, a fair amount of activity

     for this time of year.

Then we drove to the south east end of Pigeon Lake            

and near MaMeO Beach I saw these cattle and just had to take thier photo. We stopped at MaMeO but didn't stay. There was not much to see, and to far to walk to the beach. MaMeO did not change much since I was there last about 30 years ago. We then decided to go back to Edmonton to have lunch, but rather than eat in Edmonton, we stopped in Leduc to have lunch there. We found a nice place to have lunch at a place called Kosmos in Leduc, and asked if they had Turkey diner, and yes they did, we ordered and wow was it a large dinner with Pumpkin pie included for $12.50, and was it ever a big meal. Both Russ and I were very full when we finnished it, actually we were stuffed. Ha ha, pun intended. On our way back to Edmonton we saw a lot of farmers harvesting thier fields, I just had to take a few photos, I took them through the car windows.

Well, that was our trip, it was very nice to get out of the city for a few hours.

Very busy

Hello everyone, I have been very busy this week helping relatives. I have not had time to do much or even visit friends blogs. Hopefully I will have time this coming week, to put up a blog or 2, and maybe even put up some photos.

Birds in the Park

Hello freinds, My freind Yvonne phoned again and ask if I wanted to go to the park, again I said you know I want ot go. Well the day was a fantastic day, I even got a little pink in the face. Yvonnes little grand son had a fantastic time splashing in the water with a big stik and getting himself and nana a little wet. I took a photo across the water with my 300mm lens, I was a little shacky but it turned out not to bad. I took a few photos last Thursday and I will show some of them today. So here they are.

I hope you like the photos. See you next time.

Gift from my Nephew

Hello blog friends, My nephew and his father, just got back from Europe yesterday, they were in Europe for 2 weeks. They did a whirl wind tour of Bavaria, Slovenia, and Austria. They had a great time and a lot of great photos to show for their trip. I was at my nephew's yesterday, we talked about his trip and got to see a good portion of his photos. they were awesome. My nephew was trying to stay up late, but was so tired he was falling asleep standing up. He brought me a present from his trip and we got a big laugh on what it said on it. I took a couple of photos so you could see what the present was and what it said.

The Bottom photo I blended myself as Photoshop merge had problems trying to match the rounded images, so if you see flaws don't be too hard on me. The cup says, in English,

Horst the Seducer.

My nephew didn't know what that meant all he was thinking about was that it had my name on it. They asked me last night what it meant, we had a great laugh when I told them.

 

Friday Visit to the Park

On Friday my friend Yvonne called to ask if I wanted to come with her and her grand son, to the park. I said yes, so off we went to Hawrylack Park. I took lots of photos. We spent around 3.5  hours there. The day was beautifull and semi warm, well the sun was warm but the wind was cold. It got up to 12 C. It was a beautifull day otherwise. There were tons of birds around the park, waiting for people like us to feed them. Geese, Ducks and Seagulls everywhere. I took a bunch of photos which you can see here and on WLS, also on Flickr.
Well, here are some photos.
