I spotted this little guy on 17th Ave in front of Melrose Place today. He was just hangin' in the helmet while his owners enjoyed a beer and a bite.

Graffiti Greatness

115 of 365























Today Michelle, Nicole and I went on a walk about around 17th Ave.  We were on a photography mission and our goal was to capture a few different shots which included themes such as "Architecture", "Back in The Day", "Doubles/Pairs", etc.  

Can you guess what this one was?  That's right - graffiti.    Seeing how I was more interested in getting to a patio (to enjoy a refreshment or two) than taking pictures not a whole lot of effort went into my photography. However, despite that fact I am quite happy this shot.

Edo Japan

Tonight I spent the night home alone and dined on Edo Japan for supper.   I thought it was interesting how they incorporated their logo into the "Ladies" sign on the washroom door.

Merlot, anyone?

108 of 365























To save on cooler space Gord opted for a nice box of Merlot for his drink of choice for our 1st camping weekend of 2009.

Good Night

106 of 365























Are you someone who makes their bed every morning before you leave for work?  If you asked me that question I would have to say Gord and I make the bed before we leave for work only 50% of the time and as you see in this photo today happened to be one of those days that we did not make the bed.  Either way I love the feeling of crawling into my bed at night and snuggling in between the cool crisp sheets.

Mercury at Sundown

105 of 365























This truck belongs to my neighbor across the street and I've always wanted to photograph it, but just wasn't quite sure how to make it look cool.  After taking a few shots I eventually laid down on the ground (the very cold and uncomfortable ground may I add) and finally got a shot I was satisfied with. Some quick editing on Picnik and voila you have "Mercury at Sundown".

Crackle

104 of 365























Although it's freakishly cold for a day in May I decided to bundle up and take a ride out to my favorite barn for my photo of the day.   I love the detail of the crackling paint and the contrast of white on red.

This is a charcoal sketch of Princess Diana that Shelby created in her Grade 11 Art class.  I had no idea she was so talented. Great work, Shelby!

Tonight we headed down to Mikey's Juke Joint with Michelle, Jonathan, Sarah and Jordie to see an old friend of Michelle's play. Ross Neilsen and the Sufferin' Bastards put on an awesome show. I'm looking forward to seeing them play again in October when they return to Calgary .

Cheap Parking

99 of 365























If you are downtown and looking for cheap parking just turn right off Center Street across from The Hyatt and here you will find it.  Just in past the actual paid lot is another "secret" lot that is managed by a friendly gentleman who is always willing to negotiate a price.

Tulips in the Rain

98 of 365























A few minutes after I stepped outside at lunch time in search of my subject for today the rain started to pour. I sought shelter in the +15 and managed to get this shot from an open door.

"E"

97 of 365























Quite some time ago Gord starting calling me "E" after his roommate Sarah called me Eeeeelisha all weekend.  It caught on and now many refer to me as "E"...which I kinda like.

Moroccan Feast

92 of 365























Tonight we endulged in a Moroccan Feast at Sultan's Tent in Kensington.  Gord opted for the "full meal deal" which was 6 courses. The cool thing about Sultan's Tent is that you eat using your hands; this would explain why you see Gord sipping his soup directly out of the bowl.  The food was delicious.  If you're looking for a unique dining experience Sultan's Tent is definitely worth checking out.

The Donut Mill

The Donut Mill is located in Gasoline Alley, Highway 2 southbound in Red Deer, AB.  Although the the sweet smell of donuts was wafting in the air calling me inside I opted not to have any. Maybe next time...

Legislative Assembly of Alberta

87 of 365























This shot of the Legislative building in Edmonton was taken out of the car window as Mom, Sally and I drove by on our way to our hotel. I took it with my zoom lens and can't believe how well it turned out. Finally, some better material for Project 365!
