Sunflowers rock



Isn't this beautiful. My neighbour planted a row of sunflowers against his house and my bedroom window has a marvelous view. I took this picture with my Canon SD200 Digital Elph on one of the finer settings. When viewed in larger sizes you can see that there is a bee having a little feast in the upper left of the shot. Soon it will be all seeds and the birds will be having their fun! And probably waking me up very early to do so.

March of the Penguins



What an amazing film. We went last night, expecting some nice photography of Antarctica and of course Penguins. I had no idea how amazing the story of the Emperor Penguins' winter migration would be. I kept wondering about how God or Mother Nature or whomever, could possibly have made such a strange creature with such a difficult existence. It is certainly a movie that everyone should see at some point. The love and dedication they show in efforts to reproduce against all odds is just awe inspiring. This is one movie I will definitely be purchasing for the home library. I will make sure it is seen by all.

My home office!

This is what it's like working from home. Although today I had not planned on working at all. Unfortunately though, my golf partner cancelled on me which is a crying shame with the weather being perfect etc. But, what's a girl to do. So I have used the time to get my expenses done, do a little research into ParagonCRT which is an alternative to laser eye surgery. Apparently it is still pretty new because I can't find anyone in Ottawa doing it.
