This is from about 10 days ago. It's Meech lake in Gatineau Park, just up the road from me.

Thanks love. I will try. It's never easy, though. Keeping a 10 year old amused for a week is bloody hard when you are basically camping with various relatives and are cut off from toys 'n stuff.

WOW I am impressed, I didn't think we had colours like that in Calgary.

Where were you when you took these?

It's just as well you got these shots yesterday. Have you seen the forecast for tonight and tomorrow.:scared:

It will be smash-up derby out on the the roads tomorrow morning. Only good thing is it's happening on a weekend.

By the way how did the picture framing work out?

Cheers
Steve

I don't think I'll be taking my driving test today!
( although..... it would make a great excuse if I failed )

I'm taking your prints into the framing shop today (got sidetracked; above).

Well that certainly explains that. At least I won't have to go out looking for that location.

I hope the trip went well if you know what I mean.

Today would be a good day to take it just not tonight or tomorrow.
You're not going to fail no matter when you take it.

I'm quite curious as to what those prints will look like framed.

Hairy men clad in lycra is highly offensive certain bulges should remain undefined, it's far more gentlemanly that way. Do these guys think that poncing around showing their lil' acorns and weener is impressive ? MOH almost pukes at the sight.

I took your prints into a framing shop and eventually realised I had no idea what I wanted.

I was asked 'what colour are your walls?', 'what's your furniture like?' and 'how's the lighting?'... etc... by the patient man trying to help me get some ideas. Given that I'm painting my walls, have no furniture or lighting, the kind man suggested I wait until my place was more furnished, so I could grab a clue.

He did comment on your photos though... 'fantastic photos'. He especially liked the black and white waves crashing into the rocks one.

So.... we'll have to wait for the end result!
