Cell Pic Sunday | Cottage Adventure

I saw a quote the other day, “Their world is only as big as you show them…” Unknown I instantly thought of a dogs life.  This weekend we took him on an adventure – he loved it!

Do What You Love

I was promptly reminded yesterday, ‘Do what you love’ after being hit with what felt like another double whammy from modern medicine.

Lens Tests | Canon RF

With an upcoming trip to Eastern Canada, I had my eye on the Canon RF 15-30mm lens. I even found it used through Henrys, yet something was holding me back. I kept hearing wait.
