Spring is here | Petawawa Pembroke Photography

05.04.13 Posted in Landscapes

Spring has officially arrived in Petawawa. With days well into the 20s, the grass is getting greener and the trees are full of leaf buds.

Since my surgery I have been unable to use my camera until I am out of the recovery period. I have been missing having a camera in my hands and I broke down and went out to shoot the pretty light and renewal of spring. Just 2 more weeks and I will be out of my recovery period and my camera may not leave my hands. I miss her so much.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone, enjoying the wonderful sun. My weekend will involve pitchers of home-made lemonade and BBQs.

Tiptoe Through the Tulips | Ottawa Petawawa Pembroke Photographer

04.18.13 Posted in Personal

Yesterday Andrew and I went to Ottawa. The sun was shining, most of the snow and ice had melted. It was a beautiful day. As we walked hand in hand, I pointed out some tulips that were starting to poke through the ground. Andrew looked at me with his wonderful smile and a twinkle in his eye, “Would you like to tiptoe through the tulips?”

Later on before our drive back to Petawawa, Andrew stopped into a store. When he returned, he hand me a planter of tulips. My heart melted. How did I get to be so lucky?

Today as the rains pour, I am thinking of all of these April showers bringing beautiful May flowers.

I took this image using my “new” old school Russian lens that requires you to manually focus and manually pick your focal point. This is my first attempt. I did get the focal point where I wanted but did not nail sharp focus. I am looking forward to playing lots more with this new lens once my vision has completely cleared. It is hard to manually focus when you vision is still very blurry, lol.

Have a fab rain day everyone and just think of all of the pretty flowers today is bringing us.

Drama Queen | Petawawa Pembroke Ottawa Photographer

04.16.13 Posted in Personal, Pets

It is no secret that Brittany is a Diva. She is also a Drama Queen. Whenever she gets ticked off with you she does a very dramatic sneeze. Years ago, Brittany had issues with her eyes and her vet was asking if she sneezed to determine if our girl was suffering from allergies. I explained that she does sneeze but only when she is not happy with you. As soon as I finished speaking Brittany sneezed. After many tests, we discovered that Brittany does have allergies.

Whilst in England we often had Murphy stay with us. Murphy, an adorable Sussex Spaniel, was one of Brittany’s best friends in England. One day Andrew was fluffing the duvet on the bed – our mattress was on the floor- and Murphy was wagging his tail and ready to pounce on the bed. Andrew, pointing his finger, told Murphy no. Murphy looked at Andrew and did a Brittany Drama Queen Sneeze. He had never done this before….until Brittany taught him.

The Drama Queen Sneeze is such a huge part of who Brittany is. She LOVES food, especially cheese. If we have the cheese out we always give her a few pieces. One night, she decided that she had not gotten enough and let us know that she was not impressed….with her sneeze.

Notice the tiny piece of cheese stuck on her face.

Have a fab evening everyone,

Jody

Spring is in the Air | Petawawa Pembroke Ottawa Photographer

03.30.13 Posted in Landscapes, Personal

After a spring that started out looking a lot like winter, the warm temperatures and dropping snow levels are letting us know that winter is ending and spring is arriving. I have my second cataract removal surgery on Tuesday and will not be able to get out with my camera for some time. The sun was shining and I headed out with Heather to look for signs of spring.

Wishing you a wonderful Easter weekend.

Happy Spring | Petawawa Pembroke Ottawa Photographer

03.22.13 Posted in Landscapes, Personal

According to the calendar, spring is here. As I like out the window and see a world covered in white, piles of snow many feet high and more falling, I cannot help but long for the spring I came to know and love in England.
