It's an S Kind of Day.

Well. We got some snow!
I woke up much to my delight. I am probably one of the few people that love snow like a little kid.

First off we have a Snowy Sheba Ear



Me and Sydney went out to take pictures in the paddock. And well....
Meet Stormy.
*snort Snort prance prance Snort*
 (at which point she greeted us, and was later shoo'd away in fears of her brother tagging along)
 Might I note she was still Snorting and huffing up a storm at this point.

 She came snorting back a few more times...


How could you not love that Morgan face?
After this, I went for Sushi, I didn't take pictures.
This is prolly the first time I've ever come home with leftovers from sushi. Fantastic!

Hope you had a good day. :)

Your Best Shots of 2010

Doing my part in Sunday Stills again. I got into photography in January 2010, so I do have an entire year of best shots.

My first picture I was really proud of taking. It was a project for art class.

Detroit River, February


One of my favourite shots as well
A really simple place gave me a fantastic picture at night.

Sydney of Bitless Horse
My best Macro

My favourite picture from my Family Vacation
Timer-taken

One of the few Sunrises I managed to see in the summer

If you've tried to photograph a loon, You'll understand.


Now, these are only a fraction of what I've got here. If you've been following my blog, I'm sure you have seen some of these before.

Sunday Stills: Pets

Well, I thought I would so Sunday Stills because it's on one of my favourite topics for photography. I love taking pictures of my animals and other people's animals. If I could; I would upload them all, but that would be a horribly long photoblog. So I decided to keep it really simple. 
If you wanna know more about any of these photos; just go ahead and ask away in the comments!

Morning Cuddles with Boris
He's my big fat rat.


Somebody else's Pet.
Sydney's neigh Indigo

A Fattus Cattus.

He's a barncat but he's still a pet to Sydney and I

Good Old Valentine<3

Well I hope you enjoyed it, and I think I might make a habit out of Sunday Stills.

Some College Experiences So Far...

Well...
I've been living on my own since School started, been payin' bills and getting groceries. Sometimes with the help from my dad. Okay, with a lot of help from my dad. But so far living on my own, I've encountered countless things that will stick with me for the rest of my life.

The Restaurant owner.
Now, I have nothing against immigrants to Canada, actually I quite welcome it. But I am with the views that when you come here you should realize things regarding your neighbours and so on and so fourth change when you go to a new country. I met the affectionately named "African Man" in an odd manner.
My tub somehow or another leaks down into this man's restaurant. Instead of being calm cool and collected, he runs upstairs, "WATER! IS LEAKING! INTO! MY RESTAURANT!!! STOP SHOWER NOW!!!" And goes back downstairs. First time ever meeting him.. Hello African man.
Now, my roommate Mac always wants to piss him off. But it's generally me dealing with him.
If I answer the door, it's the end of the world. Yelling and so on. If Mac answers the Door, he's Mr. nice guy. Or if Mac walks up behind me. I feel completely disrespected. I sometimes let the water leak down on purpose now too. >:(

The Street Cleaner of Doom!!!!111
Seriously, it's scary. Street-cleaners should not operate at 4 AM while I am nice and soundly asleep in my best. This vacuum from hell comes screeeeeaming down the road. It's given me nightmares and scared the crap out of my guests.
Luckily they don't operate in the winter, but soon, Hello Snowplow of Doom.

Thirsty Thursdays!
You know when I can tell it's 2 AM on a Thursday? Drunks. Drunk university students out roaming the streets.
I once watched from my window; Three guys were playfighting on the baptist church lawn. That's cool. All the sudden I hear somebody vomiting. While these three guys are wrestling and having a great loud laughing time, their buddy is puking in the church garden. Nothing like Sunday mass and "What's that smell?" When they're leaving.
One Thursday I heard a commotion to look outside to see a band of drunken hooligans stumbling down the road. The stop at a block of wet pavement surrounded by cones. Instead of walking through the wet pavement, or signing their names. They take the cones, place them on their heads and continue on down the road. I would later see these cones on various roofs around my area.

My mother.
My mother is pretty much banned from my house. She cleans. I threaten to kick her out when she comes here cause she'll start doing dishes or mop the freaking floor. I'm not lying. She's one of those people that scrub the bathtub before company come over, but then pulls the shower curtain over it so nobody can see it... O_o;;

My Bus Rides;
I honestly will have to make a blog post about my various experiences with Public transit.
I'll leave you with one. There's a magician that rides the bus every Thursday at 10:00 to go downtown. I have one of his cards. He looks like a vampire, no lie.

My roommate.
Mac is quite the interesting fellow. My friend Sydney's first meeting of him;
He had his shirt taken off and tied about his head so he looked like a Ninja, "The T-shirt Ninja" Luckily Sydney is used to our friends doing weirder stuff so she wasn't phased, much to Mac's disappointment.
Mac has also taught me the importance of butter while cooking. He's the prime example of a college guy trying to cook. JUST PUT IT ON HIGH AND WAIT TILL IT BURNS! Mmm. Sounds great and healthy.

Pasta and Chicken Nuggets;
I've come to realize, I buy these instinctively now at the grocery store. Even when my dad is insisting he pays for groceries, I STILL buy craploads of cheap chicken nuggets and Pasta.
Mind you, I'm a terrible cook and these things are really the only things I know how to make well other than perogies and egg sammiches and Microwaved Baked potatoes.
But My diet really consists of Coffee, lots of coffee, chicken nuggets, Pasta and some soups.
I'm so healthy. :>
Mmmm...
Best thing in the world<3


Missionaries.
Yep. I hang around missionaries. They stop by about once a week.No big deal, but I played a paper scissor rock tournament with them and my friend. I totally won. :D
We're also going sledding when it snows enough, Cause most of them are from the states and rarely get enough snow.
Originally when I met my first missionary friend, I thought I was going to be mugged. No lie. he came up to me,  while I had my earphones in and was waiting for the bus alone in the dark. Scared the living daylights out of me...

OH
I also encountered this fellow on a road trip.
I was wearing my Owl hat when I took this picture. I also waved.
I don't think I gave him the hooters he wanted...
Oh yeah. And School is going good. Except that last quiz I didn't do so hot on, but it's all still great.

I'm sure I'm missing a lot of stories.

Holy Cacti Batman! It's a Second Post!

I need to get a life, or a boyfriend, both would be nice.

I honestly haven't done much today other than what you'll see in my pictures I will be posting.


I woke up at 12 in the afternoon, which is normal for me on the break and on weekends. It was sunny in my room, so I decided to finally catch a good shot of the cactus Garden in my room, got a great shot of the big intimidating cactus. He looks pretty mean.
(click for a bigger picture, folks)










I went out to walk Val, and when I take her out I generally have my camera on me just to take pictures of cool things, the harbour is always changing and interesting. The end was entirely iced over, so we had to carry Val so her feets wouldn't freeze.. That would be my best fiend Daniel carrying her, he is equally unamused with the cold wind coming of the lake. I love winterscapes. And I love the silence over the water. Nothing but pressure cracks and big rumblings coming off of the ice. It's so peaceful.
After the walk, I got cozied up and tucked into my bed with some Animal Crossing, a DS game I got for christmas. It's fairly good! I fell asleep and took a nap for two hours.









I walk out of my room to make some tea, and my parents are sitting on the couch, with a GIANT bowl of nuts, watching chick flicks on the DIVA channel. I laughed real hard at them. I'd post a pictue but I'm sure my mother would disown me.



I'm likely to go arting later tonight and come up with something, so keep an eye on the deviantart, or the blog for tomorrow.

Have a good one folks.
