Clean Getaway.

Like I said. Mad photo post.

Day one: wed night land 9pm. Cousin Tanya met me at the airport, no photos.
Day Two: Hung out with Tanya and her sweet baby Elle. Went for a walk.



In the afternoon my other cousin Scott took me to Stanley Park and the Aquarium. The jellyfish were my favorite. So pretty! Oh and the sea otters!


It rained all day.

Scott, Third beach, Scott's car, Pizza and wine Scott made me for supper.

Day Three: Up at five, Tanya's husband Alex took me to the ferry which I took to Nanimo where my friend Farrel lives. I met him in Australia. We left Nanimo by 8:30am to go to TOFINO! 2.5 hr drive. With stops. Ate lunch in the town, Surfed/body boarded for an hour maybe, and peaced to Victoria!

In the town, Tofino.


Chestermans Beach.




VICTORIA!!

Getting prettied up.
My other camera died, and i can't find my charger... so no pics from our night out just yet. Hit up Lucky bar. Oh and Pita pit. Obviously.

Day Four: Got up. Breakie at Denny's, Some market in the country and then shopping!





Drive down Dallas road so I could see the ocean. Photo shoot!







Day Five: Another early ferry. My friend Liam from MCI picked me up and took me for possibly the best coffee I've ever had. Then showed me UBC campus!



After that, he shipped me off downtown to meet my other friend Alex. Alex took me to Gastown. An area similar to the exchange in Winnipeg. Bigger and Better of course. We lunched at Salt. A super sweet spot. Sandwiches and Wine. No pics unfortunately. The good news is Alex met me again for coffee Monday morning!

Day Six (last day!): Hung out with Elle in the morning while her mom worked out. Then met Alex for coffee around 11am!

thanks alex.

After that went for a walk with Tanya and Elle.
On my way to the airport we stop for approx 5.5 minutes to say hi to my friend Mike from Fernie. Time was short but was so worth it!
Mike's gonna be famous. Just you all wait.


ok and a couple more pics of elle cause she really is just that cute.



And then I went home. The end.

Midwest Skies and Sleepless Mondays.

Tofino, BC

I want to move here badly.
Gorgeous day. Even the locals said they don't get days like this one often, so we really lucked out. My trip was amazing. I plan on doing a mad photo post but I haven't had a moment of spare time due to catch ups, goodbyes and well work. Not to mention the much needed catching up on sleep and and adventures in St. B (holla!).

One more Time.

Few things make me happier than mail. Especially package mail. In the last two days I've gotten three letters and one package. Two of which came from Australia. So pumped on that!

In the last week I've spent more time waiting for the bus than ever in life. I love it. I love the bus. And I'm not just saying that. I love having a scheduled time to be at the bus stop, I love walking there, I love listening to my ipod, and I love fall. Its great. My days are more structured and planned. Life has slowed down and I love it.

Be Somebody.

This was part three to the weekend.

Sweet three year old alex, his parents Don and Dana and myself, got together Sunday afternoon at Assiniboine Park to take some photos.. and chase geese.

Sexy Results.

Felix Cartel and Mstrkrft. What a good night.
So obviously these photos have been played with on photoshop. It was my first time taking photos at a concert and I can't really say their that good. But some turned out ok.

Something sort of Wonderful.

My favorite photo of the day. Oma and Opa! So sweet.

Its rare my 4gig memory card fills up, but it was a big weekend. A good weekend. I practiced some photography skills first with the muller/kannwischer family Saturday at the st bonifice cathedral. Part two was saturday night at the exchange event center where felix cartel and mstrkft rocked me till three am. Part three was saturday another family shoot with my friend Dana, her husband Don and their sweet son Alex. Photos to follow!

When I look at these, theres things I would of done differently... but I'm learning. This was so fun. Bossing around 23 people was difficult, but i pulled it off. The mullers are wonderful.











trust me there are more. edits are still in the works but i needed to get something up to show for my weekend.

21 candles.

Birthday texts, calls, cards, msgs, lunch, presents, flowers and drinks were all much appreciated. love. xxoo
