I came across this article a while ago, Your Camera Does Not Matter. Didn’t really read it until five minutes ago, and boy, was it good. I no longer want a better camera now. Well, almost. I still do, but not as much as I used to. You see, it’s not the camera that makes…… Continue reading On Photography

Rock Point Provincial Park is located on the north shore of Lake Erie, south of Dunnville, Ontario, not too far away from Buffalo, New York. We went there on Saturday for our weekly hiking/picture-taking trip. The park was still closed for winter and won’t be open until May. We parked right in front of the…… Continue reading Long Walk, No Opossums

We’re going away for the weekend, down to the boy’s parents place. We’ve been invited to a barbecue type thing in Simcoe (I think) on Saturday, but hopefully the boy would be nice enough to take me to a provincial park/nature reserve/conservation area sometime during the weekend so that I could treat you to some…… Continue reading Away for the Weekend

Have I told you how much I hate “24” the TV show? This show makes me dumb. I always try to ignore it while Troy is watching it but it’s not that easy. Did you notice that Jack Bauer’s back-up/partner/sidekick/whatever always ends up dead? But I won’t get into any more picky details because it…… Continue reading An Eventful Weekend

Last night I dreamed that it was the early morning of my birthday and I was trying out a telescope I got as a birthday present from Troy outside. The telescope looked more like a PDA than a telescope, i.e. you pointed it upwards and you’d see a planetary image on the screen. I was…… Continue reading Odd Dream

If I were a singer/songwriter, I would write a song called “I Believe (There is a Super Patient Man for Every Difficult Woman in the World)”, and I would dedicate it to Troy. It sounds like a fantastic title for a song to me. It would be a folk song, of course, because I like…… Continue reading Your Song

Didn’t get a new spring coat. Did pick up a new pair of pants. (Very comfortable! For only $15!) Did make it to the book sale in Dunnville. Had to go through a snow storm. Lucky enough not to end up in a ditch or to get lost. Picked up 62 books. Didn’t make it…… Continue reading Long Story Short

I haven’t posted any journal entry here for ages so I thought I’d post one today because I feel like boring you to death. I know talking about last weekend when another weekend is only a day away is kind of lame, but whatever. Last weekend was a long weekend due to the Good Friday,…… Continue reading It’s My Life

Last Saturday was, in theory, the last day of Winter. I was blindfolded and forced by the boy to pick a spot on the map of Southwestern Ontario to determine where we were going that day and my finger fell on the Forks of the Credit Provincial Park. (It didn’t really happen that way but…… Continue reading Last Day of Winter

Troy and I have been coming up with lines to use on us in the scenes from the next episode of the Amazing Race if we were one of the teams participating in it. – Troy and Firda get lost. “Where are we?” “Um, somewhere in the Amazon?” – Troy and Firda can’t remember where…… Continue reading If We Were in the Amazing Race…
