  1. Chilly Halloween

    I was hoping to get a few Halloween shots in before dark, but when I was on my way home from volunteering today I saw amazing light over Etobicoke and chased it with my camera. Unfortunately, by the time I got to Lakeshore the wind whipped the clouds over the sun and I lost my opportunity. Ah well, you win some, you lose some… I took some skyline shots with the remaining dark clouds:

    There were only a handful of people walking/running/cycling along the lakeshore since it was cold and windy, but I was well-prepared with a windbreaker and my winter shooting gloves in my camera bag — packed before I went to The Brides’ Project this morning.

    When I arrived in my neighbourhood, which was CRAWLING with kids and parents dressed in their Halloween finery, it was too dark to sneak in any more photos. I could’ve used a flash, but I didn’t want to be that random kid-less adult freaking out the parents by taking photos of their kids. Maybe they’ll let me get away with it if I decorate the porch and sit out there with treats instead!

    In the Battle Royale over the cat bed, Xena is up by 1. You should’ve seen the paws fly earlier!

    It’s kind of ridiculous, really, these two making a big deal over the cat bed when they take over my bed most of the day. In reality, their cat bed is actually my ENTIRE bed!
