*....or so the story goes. Once upon a time, Ryan suggested to Melissa that they start a 'blog'. To which Melissa said, "We are not blog people!" And so here we are. We are teaching ourselves photography, taking the camera everywhere with us. This little blog is meant to show off shots we are proud of, and to give you a glimpse into our adventures. Comments always welcome!

Peepin' Tom

Ever wonder what those crane operators do up there for fun? Look closely. I originally went out on the balcony to take some pics from the condo. Being on the 23rd floor, I found myself at eye level with this crane next door.

French Cannonball

«« prev next »»

Cannonball

At the corner of rue Saint-Louis and du Corps de Garde, in Quebec City, a tree had grown around this cannonball.
-shot by Melissa (the photo...not the cannonball. We don't know who shot it originally)
Update: From Frommers: Lodged at the base of the trunk, one story says that the cannonball landed here during the War of 1759 and over the years became firmly embraced by the tree. Another story says that it was placed here on purpose to keep the wheels of horse-drawn carriages from bumping the tree when making tight turns.

Have I posted this one before?
Melissa is away this week and has the camera, so I am skimming through the archives. Always meant to post it, but forgot to. -Ryan

At The Beach With Chopper

Sitting in my beach chair with a book and a beer, I looked up and saw this wonderful scene. I ran and got my camera. I gotta admit, though, I had to throw that stick a lot just to get the dog to stay right there.

Chopper

We finally got a "new" used flash for the camera. Just trying it out. Chopper "volunteered" to model. Ok, he works for cookies. As a matter of fact, so do I.
