Food

and it was all good.

Food

I love food. The taste and smell of good food. But i also get excited by the presentation of the food. Presentation is important, its eye candy, and whilst I'm an amature photographer i love to take pictures of food, its presentation. Some time ago a chanced upon a hamburger joint. I ordered their cheese burger and fries.

Hoar Frost

By definition of Wikimedia: (n) hoar frost is the tiny deposition of water vapor from saturated air which occurs when the temperature of the surfaces is below freezing point.

We've been smothered in fog for four days . Its cold and I long for sunshine, however, there is an upside to this, kinda like the silver lining in a dark cloud. Hoar frost. If you were to have arrived today, you would have though one hell of a snow storm hit our city. The trees are painted white, frost clinging to the branches, building a visible screen on chain link fences. Cars litterally frosted over, frost clinging from antennas, absolutely mystifying. Beautiful, a true wonderland. I managed to step out yesterday to snap some pictures.

Pictures...

I have a friend who stated they loved my pictures, so, i felt i would post a few for their enjoyment, since i only have about 1500. Its a hobby of mine, still learning and love to share them with others...so here are some of my pictures for all or any to view and enjoy. Pictures were taken last year at Bragg Creek, approx 60kms west of Calgary

Changing our minds

Funny how we have great plans. Some become real, some go on the back burner and some don't happen. We had a dream, or was it a plan. We were going to purchase a small travel trailer, actually a tear-drop trailer which really amounted to a king size bed on wheels. We envisioned ourselfs with the cat and dog, highway driving, pulling this little trailer and passerbyers staring at us as we motored down the highway. We checked it out, got really excited, then went to the R.V. show, where we saw big, bigger and biggest travel trailers. We saw houses on wheels, actually motor coaches that cost as much if not more than some homes. We walked through, touched the chairs, checked out the bedrooms, looked for the washrooms and stepped out again. Hundreds of R.V.'s, lots of money, lots of brouchers showing people camped by a lake with a fire blazing. All very idealistic. We took a break at the concession stand, dropped $15.00 on two hot dogs and a drink, talked it over and discussed R.V. We came to a conclusion. If we had'nt been camping before, what makes us think we would want to do it now, if ever. When we started to add up the dollars it seemed to us room service, a romote control, hot water and fresh washroom overrode the need to be outdoors. We figured if we really wanted to have the camp fire, we could go for a picnic instead. Our dream of a trailer vanished.
