A few weeks ago I had a lovely dinner at my mother’s, and captured a few photos.
The adorable Simon:
Milo the cat wasn’t too pleased with my camera:
I captured some photos of the flowers in her garden, and also walking to/from the dinner get-together:
Passing my the LCBO at Summerhill on the way home:

My sister won a contest, sponsored by Maple Leaf, so we, and two friends, were treated to a lovely ‘spa day’. A chef arrived to cook us a delicious lunch, before we each had individual massages, manicures and pedicures. What a lovely indulgence it was!
The salad the chef prepared:
Perfect looking strawberries for the salad:
Prepping the lettuce:
Slicing the strawberries:
Corn cobs:
Great technique for removing those pesky corn silks:
Corn cobs started in the pot the chef brought with him, chicken (the ‘Maple Leaf’ part), started in his frying pan on the gas stove:
Corn was then moved to a frying pan, fried in bacon fat if I recall correctly…if you didn’t like bacon, not sure you’d enjoy this lunch! lol. 😉
Dicing thick slices of bacon:
Frying:
Crispy bacon was added to pre-prepared potatoes, part of a potato side dish:
Then it was warmed in the pan…with more bacon fat…yum! It’s certainly not a way I usually eat!
Alice watched the proceedings from the kitchen window:
The finished lunch plate. A wonderful start to our spa day experience.

Some interesting skies lately, with summer clouds:
Created a few animated gifs of the sky photos I captured yesterday, shot throughout the day:
A little dark and stormy, another animated gif:

This client choose to purchase three images from his headshot mini-session:

I posted a Zoe the cat update recently, so here’s an update on Alice and Finnegan.
Alice loves to sit at the kitchen window and look out at the world, and I love photographing her through the screen, think it adds an interesting element to the photo:
Both cats love to snooze on the coffee bag, filled with green beans, in what will one day be a pantry area. I guess it’s like sleeping on a bean bag chair. Love Alice’s blue eyes in this shot:
Finnegan hanging out in the kitchen:
Finnegan on a dining room chair, likely wondering why I’m taking his picture yet again, lol:
Alice wasn’t a fan of the hairball (fur ball?) medication, so we smeared some on her nose, forcing her to consume it (it’s for her own good!), now she likes it, and will lick it off an offered finger:
Backlit Finnegan and Alice:
Alice playing with her fave toy:
Two more shots of Alice through the screen window:
Finnegan:
A ‘few’ more of Alice, 😉 :
