Flatrock

Photo of the week #29: Today was absolutely beautiful here in the city (finally!) so we took a hike out to Flatrock with a friend:

Kobo

Photo of the week #27: Macro shot of the quilting on the back of my new Kobo ereader (complete with fingerprint!). I think it's amazing how much detail you can see in this photo. I hadn't even noticed the fine texture inside the soft rubber diamonds until after I had taken the photo:

For those of you that are unfamiliar with the Kobo, it's the new ebook reader that was released this week by Chapters. Geoff and I each purchased one and so far we have been loving them!

Halfway there!

Photo of the week #26: A quick shot of some new growth on the Potentilla plant in our backyard. To be honest, I'm a bit surprised that the plant is still alive. It had originally been growing in a pot on my deck at the condo and was very sadly neglected while I was living there. Hopefully I'll be able to give it much more attention here at the house though!

I thought I'd also post a few extras that I've taken over the last few weeks but have only now had time to process. This first shot was taken on our photowalk to Cape Spear. The beautiful colors in the background of the photo were the result of the colorful rock that was sitting behind the branch:


I'm also including a random shot that I took while we were driving to a friend's house on a foggy night a few weeks ago:
