Ride to work

My feeble attempt to get in shape has led me to try to ride my bike to work this summer. While I don't do this as often as I should - I have been averaging about 2 days per week. My trek takes me about 35 min. there and 30 min back. Almost 15 min of the trip there is walking my bike up a STEEP hill. One thing I learned is that you see a lot more on a bike than in a car. I also realized how beautiful it is here, and do not regret moving at all. Here are series of photos from my bike ride. Taken with my Canon Elan 7N, and Canon EF 28-105mm f3.5-f4.5 USM lens, on Ilford Delta 400 black and white film. Processed for 7 min in HC-110 Dilution B - and finally scanned and tweaked on the computer.

Off to the Big Saddle!

Larissa left early this morning for her trip to Calgary. I think she was a little nervous leaving us all behind - but we will be fine. Once she is there I am sure she will have a blast!

The main event of her trip is doing henna at the 2007 Calgary Tattoo & Arts Festival . She will be joined by 2 other artists for a hard-working, but fun filled long weekend of HENNA!! While she is there she will also be visiting friends and doing a workshop. Their group is called The Merry Maids of Mehndi!

I have taken a bunch of time off work for some full time parenting, and fun with the kids. I get to take Hope to her first day of Grade one! Larissa's brother is also arriving with all their stuff as well - should be a great week coming up - for all of us!.
