Tuileries

Another shot taken in Paris whilst playing around with the special effects on my portable camera. This was supposed to give the photo an old-timey feel.

Memorial

Made a quick stop at the new Poppy Plaza in Calgary not long ago … I should definitely make plans to come back and shoot here after dark soon.

Raindrops keep falling on my head

Well, more like the car’s windshield … but you get the idea.
This is from one of our frequent rainfalls earlier this summer.
