If you find snapping turtles....

In honour of this visit, I give you this internet meme classic, I like turtles

What's on This Weekend?

There's more going on this weekend than just this breakfast....but i could only 'scrape' so much from The Bulletin's website (not updated with the other weekend events). Support your local paper and pick up a copy to see what's going on! ^_^

Since this week's listings are light, I'll break my usual Friday pattern and post another lupin picture:

More kiteboarding!

A couple more shots, taken by Dave at Crescent Beach, while Heather was driving.

Be sure to check out her blog, she and Dave have some awesome pictures posted!

Crescent Beach Kiteboarding

Taken almost a month ago (crazy) by my friend Dave. There was barely enough wind to get me rolling, but when has that stopped me?

He and Heather kindly acted as my 'chase car' since the wind was blowing straight down the beach....having a car to drive me back upwind was basically my dream come true. Oh, and they took photos of me too, double dream come true!

Thanks, guys!

Let me take you back, to a windy day in April ....

Local chargers Alladan (Allan and Dan) heading back to the car after a really, REALLY windy day (April 23 2009)

Actually, I always seem to see these guys out in gale force winds, go figger.

Luscious Lupins, Invincible Irises

I've been hunting for a nice patch of lupins to shoot, spotted this one in a fallow field in Baker Settlement:







Later this weekend, I spotted two patches of wild irises (?) in North Brookfield...or is it South Brookfield? I can never keep the two straight...

Shots didn't turn out as I had hoped, too bad I don't have mad curves/levels adjustment skillz...yet! Mostly the ones in the swamped, tried bumping up the contrast a little but...meh.

What's on This Weekend?

No question this weekend, head to Canaan for a kick ass roast beef supper! Though I bet that codfish supper in Riverport will be delectable as well....
