Bundled up Shot

The Weekend is here. (Big Yeah) I must stay that I have been more on the go. There are pros and cons within this past week. We had a civic election here, I have embarked back into the gym – I suppose the better way to state that is that I FIT IT IN. I have tried to keep an agenda – yet more often than not I forget my list of things that I have to do but I never forget to take my camera. As well I have done my share of shopping but it’s the needs which come first and the wants that come second.
I can’t say that I have entirely got everything in order. Yet that is A – ok with me.

TGIF

There are several things I have been doing and as of today I am finally done with the setting up of computers. Fortunate for me I was able to take have everything done and finished. There was allot of work with getting a system set up.

I am not going to go any further with that as it’s nice to come to your workstation and be able to write.

I have always been musically inclined – and it was nice to have a few friends come over. There a little younger than myself – yet we really hit it off when it comes to music. I do hit it off with ones that are within music and although I don’t know some of the names of these artists that they are talking about –yet when they talk about the styles of music they are decent – no they are actually very good. This is an area where I we could be constantly talking about all day.
Later I headed “there and back” and it’s nice to now have that time to be able to enjoy things coupled with that it’s the weekend.


Weekends have that certain free time where you can do as you wish.

Monday Excursions (updated November 30)

In the later part of the afternoon I headed out with a good friend of mine. We just got to gether to talk. Since returning it's great to see the city. When you have been away from it for nine months - it feels almost like a semi vacation.

Mind you winter is around the corner but according to the weather network - this week shall continue to be warm.

October seems to be more like the beginning of September temperture wise - I can't say I mind that at all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I did get in my Monday - Wednesday - Friday Routine
of that within the gym. I thought I would place on a few
conceptuals.

An Easy Sunday

From this morning to taking a friend’s dog for a walk the day was a superb one. The temperatures were all too nice to stay in.

This “Bo – Bo” which is the name of a cute Yorkshire Terrier was a great time to just start off the morning. I had planned on doing some other things – yet with the weather so nice one could not resist in getting outdoors.

For this time of year to have this kind of weather is tremendous. Thereafter with a friend of mine we went up to the north end of the city and took a two hour walk along the Meewasin Trails. Although it’s October it certainly felt much more like the end of August with the exception to the not all but several trees which have lost there leaves. Yet there still were the colors within some. All being said I do hope that the weather continues this way right up to the end of October – yet it was a day to take advantage with.


It still amazes me the people you encounter while within the stroll.

Pictures from Returning

A few simple pictures taken yesterday morning.
As well some additional ones. :)

Part of The Equation

With good weather, I took another trail – one that I had started on when I first arrived here. Things were tremendously hard then. I did a fast tapper off a medication – but I force my mind to look at nature. As of yesterday, I knew there was a change of plans where I will move at the beginning of August.

Yet when I went on my three-hour journey – I looked back at how I had walked, and then ran a path, which was cold and covered with snow. These are a few pictures without the need of an editor, which I do miss, as I love to watermark them.

Outside of that from today, I looked afar and I could not believe that there was a person dressed in all winter apparel doing what he had done. When I stood at one local – I sat and looked at everything and again there was the earth, wind, and sky.


I was just a part of the equation I learned.

Out on a Limb

Apart of half of my day within this town I took a few shots in a easy going manner. Thus I was out on limb, which turned the wheels
within my jaunty travels within the day.

While en Route this morning....

From a coffee within a silent place to the doing the routine that I have been I took my digital camera along. The last three days went from very hot and humid temperatures to less than mean tempertures over these las few days.

There is not much going on within these parts. As well one could see the erosion due to climate shifts of one side of the skytrail within this town.

amazes me.

Memorial Moments

A few black and whites of some people which had an influencial means within our societies. Each one is provative within the captures.
Within the dates and times.

Visting with Friends

I was taken by my friend Lyall and his wifes backyard. She is a very nice lady smart and the three of us just sat around and shot the breeze. I had mentioned to her that she has the most plants and flowers of anyone in town. She chuckled and responded with, "I wish I had room for a garden Jack." Lyall was working on some bench. I decided to take out my camera from my pack and when I saw this Budda, which was grey. I never knew that it means abundance. Marina is very creative and althought I don't have a picture in here there company was enjoyed as we are and have come to be very good friends all in all.

It's kind of an abundance when you just by chance came to know good people such as these as well - a dog named Jax, as well, flowers galore. I never did have a green thumb, but I can appreciate how they came to meet each other.

It's Hot - Not Mildly Warm

From the morning I headed to have ice cappachino with a friend here. Thereafter, I went on biking. At 2pm, I came home here as I hydrate more than ever. There is something good about technology and that is central air. With the humidity at it's highest within the shade it was 98 degrees.

Yet within the morning it's that time where everyone is out and I can't say I am a huge fan of this humidity as from where I live we have always had what is called a ....dry hot.

Regardless hot is hot and the best option is to either jump in the river here and have leaches cling to you. :)
Or take a nice cold shower and hydrate in the shade.

My apologies with a recent very large avi - it was much too large and I had to take it off as I was not at the computer. I thought I would mention as it did dissappear as it was 4 minutes in HD.

Recent Aerial Photography from 2 Friends

A friend of mine in Saskatoon which I had met while I was doing some photography last summer had sent me today some recent shots. I have met more people while I was taking pictures and it still amazes me the reciprocating factor. As most know I am out of town and there is a story behind those whom you meet.

I still to this day am amazed with how many I had run into and then here today I recieved pictures which were a gift if you will from a couple that came to Saskatoon from the east.
I was taken by the gift. As I never had this pleasure. They work as a photographers yet every summer they have several balloons which they rent out to a variety of companies.

These are semi recent pictures of Saskatoon which I recieved in my email just two minutes ago.There is something to be said for those of which I have met.
I am finding this moreso in these past few days.

I promise you these are not a hoax, I wish they were on Multiple but they arent, yet this was truly nice.

From the email:

Yes, I remember :)

You are welcome and happy Canada day for you too.

Within my Sphere

A collage if you will of some of the photos which I have take today.
