Apr 30, originally uploaded by wdkinleyphoto.

I forgot to take my camera to a school function we had tonight so I had to find something at home to take pictures of. Here we have some AZ green tea's that my wifey bought for me. They're kind of rare in the cans out this way so it's a treat. Almost like gold. But where's the rainbow???

With inches of snow overnight, more throughout the day, and a snowfall warning for tonight this is getting ridiculous. April showers, May flowers right? If we're getting snow in April, that better mean something great in May.... like 30* temps.

All around our area the water is moving! With plus temperatures as high as 16*C last week and -10*C as lows over night we had the perfect conditions for a shot like this.

Between Melfort and Prince Albert sits this poor chap in the mud. I assume he's pleased that the snow is gone, however he'll have to deal with the mud for a while.

Apr 13, originally uploaded by wdkinleyphoto.

Sarah made cinnamon buns today which were delicious. Using some creative lighting I was able to reflect a white backdrop which made it look like fog coming over this tasty specimen. Let it be known this mystery has been solved....... and I have been found guilty.

Here my neighbour is getting rid of a drift in the north side of his house. I just so happened to catch this hidden surprise being shot out of the snowblower in mid flight. Unfortunately the shot is slightly overexposed... but was definitely a neat moment to catch on camera.

Apr 10, originally uploaded by wdkinleyphoto.

I was hoping to shoot something with a 100 theme being that this was the 100th day of the blog! I thought the sign at Choiceland said 100km to Prince Albert.... turned out it said 101. Couldn't do that so I got this uber cute picture of Caleb sitting on the mower in his matching t-shirt!

Apr 9, 2011 - Day 99 - Bridge Again


Apr 9, originally uploaded by wdkinleyphoto.

I had so much fun with the pictures from yesterday I thought I'd keep editing, uploading and posting them today. Shot yesterday, tweaked today here's another shot of our old bridge. With the sun just out of frame to the left beating down on our bridge as a vehicle kicks up dust leaving the far end this was a fantastic moment in time.

Apr 8D, originally uploaded by wdkinleyphoto.

I love this shot I got to take in the middle of the old bridge today. The bridge is such a cliche place to take pictures in Nipawin so I avoided it until today, after the ice broke up. It was fun. The light was harsh for being late afternoon, but it was great for creating shadows like this :)

Apr 6, 2011 - Day 96 - Tribute to one of the greatest bikes of all time... the KLR 650


Apr 6, originally uploaded by wdkinleyphoto.

A week or so ago Dan from the Alliance Church and I were talking bikes and the KLR 650 came up in conversation. A Burgman also came up but we didn't dwell on that bike for too long. It turns out I had rode one around for a while a few years back and he had owned one at one point. Today he gave me a model of the KLR at lunch and I had to snap a pic of it in the back yard. Thanks Dan.

April 4, originally uploaded by wdkinleyphoto.

How can Bo be the bad guy??? We're watching an episode from season 3 of the series "Leverage" tonight and there was Bo. I apologize for the bad pic, wanted to snap it quick. I'm still perplexed how after his run with the Dukes, and then onto Mr. Kent (Superman's dad from Smallville) he could turn into the bad guy.

This one is even more grainy than the last. My slow zoom lens in low light is to blame for that. F4.5 @ 3200 just doesn't cut it. :)

Apr 3, originally uploaded by wdkinleyphoto.

It was a cool but tolerable evening outside tonight so I took my toy goose hunting game out to the cul-de-sac. Here's the goose taking flight down the street. On two different runs it ended up a long ways onto yards with 2 feet of snow still. That made for an interesting retrieval.
