263 of 365 Diaper Cake

Hosting a baby shower for a co-worker tomorrow night so I made another diaper cake.
They really are a whole lot of fun to make!
Remember my diaper cake from Allison's shower?

So tomorrow will be a busy day with work followed by the shower. I have been fighting a cold for three weeks now so here's hoping work is pretty dull tomorrow.
Then Thursday we are getting our deck ripped off and replaced.
Which means my dear husband and I have a weekend of landscaping our back yard, hauling gravel and dirt, planting and generally working off calories. 
Oh and a baby belly shoot Friday.
Never a dull moment around here. :)

Hmm might have to get Mark home to help out.

Seriously lacking all inspiration tonight.

261 of 365 Hugo

Engagement Photography session today.
Hugo stole the show!

LOL - Seriously though I have a whole bunch of wonderful photos of Kristin and Kyle and when I have time this week I will share them on the regular blog.
But, isn't he just adorable?

258 of 365 Possett

It is French, amazingly creamy, sweet and oh so good.
Made with 35% cream and a lot of sugar.
I got the recipe from the chef at the Ivy.
In discussion with our dinner guests tonight we conservatively estimated it is about 70 calories..... per Tbs. :)

It looks so innocent.

257 of 365 Ice Crystals

Yes we woke to icy, frosted deck furniture this morning.

I am a little concerned because any more frost and we may loose our leaves before they turn to all their glorious fall colours and I have too many fall shoots - including a wedding -  that we are counting on all those colours for!
So, no more ice for about 8 weeks please. It can snow after the 20th of October though. :)

256 of 365 Bravo!

I love my husband dearly......
But he is NOT a photographer.
Tonight I received a Bravo award from the Saskatoon Health Region for my work on the Direct Client Funding pilot project that has been my baby for the past two years. It has been a very successful and rewarding project for all concerned - especially the people we serve.


So it was pretty simple - "when Maura Davies (CEO of SHR) shakes my hand, focus and take the shot - the settings are all ready".
He forgot the focus part. But I still love him. I think it was too much pressure poor guy - and its his birthday tonight. What a boring way to spend your birthday. :) I owe him. 
I gave him a crash course on auto focus and we took another shot on the way out.

 And I still have to be at work at 8am tomorrow morning.
This is the photo I took of myself for the screen when they announce the awards.

255 of 365 Granola

Colleen brought these yummy and very healthy granola bars to our Community Bible study group tonight. They were mmmmm good.
So was the Word; we studied John 15 which led to many other interesting topics.
It is encouraging to see so many hungry for the Word.
I am thankful.

254 of 365 Ant

These teeny guys move fast and rarely pause, maybe for a nanosecond. Unfortunately my camera requires 2 nanoseconds to focus and another nanosecond for the shutter to release.
So they are difficult to get in focus.
And even harder to get them to look at you!
But interesting to watch.

 

This photo was at the request of Angie. 

Are there any other 365 requests?

You know I love a challenge. 

(As if just getting a shot isn't enough of a challenge)

But if there is a household or yard item (since most are taken after supper) that you would  like to see as a 365 photo of the day, do let me know. 

It might just fuel me with ideas. :)
