To the Distillery District and the Beach

Filed under: Children,Life,Out & About,The Natural World — Holly @ 12:10 pm

Went down to the Distillery District yesterday with a friend and my son, captured this first shot right at the beginning:

The next five shots were taken in a cool store that has old antique toy vehicles. I was playing with extremely shallow depth of field, which worked well with the low light levels in the store, and is fun to boot! 🙂

Then we stopped by Balzac’s Coffee for hot chocolate and tea:

Noah decided to drink his hot chocolate with a straw:

After our refreshments we headed down to the beach:

Looking for cool stones to add to his rock collection:

Caught this seagull at the edge of the water:

Noah running from the cold water:

And then we started to dig:

Which takes lots of concentration! lol

At the end he buried his feet in an attempt to dry them…not sure that worked out very well!

Hope everyone else had a great Sunday as well!

Running for Home Base

Caught this series of images last night at the weekly softball game. Would have liked another chance, but he was only up at bat once during the whole game!

Yesterday…

A few shots of my children from yesterday.

Rebecca, looking very stylish with her new hat and a hint of lip gloss on:

Love this shot of her, too cute!

The green in the background is the grass she is sitting on:

Noah, pretending to be old and tired! (Hence the hunched back.)

Goofy boy!

After his bath, shot with an extension tube, which gives a very shallow depth of field, almost the look of the lensbaby:

I can’t recall what he was looking at here! Love the sharpness of the eyes in this shot.

Shopping on Sunday with my daughter…

Filed under: Blog,Children,Life,Out & About — Holly @ 2:36 pm

My son hung out at a friend’s, which was a good thing as it took (of course!) much longer then we thought it would!

With her beloved new hat on, I kept stopping her to take shots when there was a something colourful in the background to create cool bokeh with, here are the results:

Saturday, in the park…

Filed under: Animals,Children,Friends,Life,Out & About — Holly @ 9:39 pm

Finally! Some nice spring weather! We headed to the park in the late afternoon. On the way there we ran into a friendly neighbourhood cat:

I caught a shot of Rebecca on the swing (looking oh so happy I would say!):

Noah, smiling at a little boy at the park:

Then I got to talking to a neighbour, Ken, who’s wife and son are in England, so it’s just him and Alison. We decided to have an impromptu bbq, we supplied the hot dog, hamburgers, tomatoes, lettuce and buns. They supplied the bbq, condiments, sautéed onions, beer and wine, and, voilà! A nice evening was had by all!

You might remember Ken from this post

And then I found one more shot of Riley to share:

Happy Saturday everyone!
