Protected: Le Weekend

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

Rained In

I love this shot. It’s one of my favourites from last weekend, for the subject matter. (Although the execution could use a lot of work: I should’ve used a faster shutter speed, but I had to shoot quickly before the hangar door shut and the kid was moving his little plane around. The downpour just [...]

I should’ve known the baby gates were no match for a persistent kitty. Not this one, anyway. You can practically see the calculations and computations going on in his head: “Hmmm… will it hold me if I jump from here?”
Xena would’ve figured it out eventually, given time. She’s pretty clever: she’ll just kick back and [...]

Luba: Let It Go (1984)

Bloody hell! It was Platinum Blonde’s “Crying Over You” (Alien Shores, 1985). [...]

Woo-hoo! I was booked months ago for two rides today, as part of my membership at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum at Hamilton Airport. I put myself down for the DC-3 Dakota at 11am and the 1942 Beech D18S Expeditor at 1pm, but the crazy summer storms we’ve been having wreaked havoc in today’s schedule, [...]
