A Canada day spectacle

     I spent my Canada day at my grandparents' houses in Washago/Orillia, where we saw some
 b-e-a-utiful sunsets (pics 1 and 2), and I consumed far too much candy but miraculously didn't die on a sugar overdose or some other dangerous-sounding affliction of that sort. As you can see, the fireworks were spectacular, and it was on a nice balmy night as well... perfect Canada day weather. In the third picture, you can see the sunset and those little squiggly things on the bottom are tiny fireworks across the lake. I did get some swimming in at my Nana's place (she lives by a river) but my swimming suit at that point was very noticeably too small, and I have since gotten a new one that fits much better.
I hope everyone reading this had a good Canada day too (if you currently live in Canada), and I'll probably post something soon.

Catching up on what Happened in September

   So yea. We went to a beautiful place called Montreal and stayed with one of my parents' french friends from Vancouver. TRY SAYING THAT THREE TIMES FAST.   The architecture was amazing, I think the first and second pictures demonstrate that. The next picture is of the little shop. Well that's what it was called, but man, it wasn't that little. Pictures number 3 and 6 are of it, and my face in number 3. :P
Number 4 is at the house we were staying in, it was great! A billion little doodads everywhere, it was so cool just looking at it. Number 5 is while we were walking around in a park near the biodome, number 7 was inside it. The rest of the pictures are just my backyard.
PS. Like my new blog design?

Fall Photography

I haven't posted for an unholy length of time, and
I thought I'd show you some of my favourite shots that I've took this fall. The first is of my brother climbing a tree at my bus stop. It has amazing colours in october. The second and third were when I was in Montreal, me being the nerd that I am decided to take pictures of a cement wall. I'm sure I looked extremely stupid standing there with cars going by staring at a graffiti covered bridge pass, but I don't really care that much because I don't live there and a couple of weird looks from people in cars is okay. The third pic was through an aquarium at some fish in the biodome. I think they were piranas but they were really sparkly pretty piranas. I will post more later, but also, I have a new song that I like.
  It's called Hayloft by Mother Mother.

Rasberries, Yarn Bombing and Other Fun Stuff

Our raspberry bush is blooming! {Do raspberries bloom?} I just thought I'd take some pictures before I ate them.

OH! Also I have two new discoveries! 

1. Yarn bombing!!

Now, before you think I'm a liar and/or insane this is a thing! Yarn Bombing is like graffiti but you knit it first and then attach it to a gate or wall instead of using spray paint. Still don't believe me?  Go to  This Website and read up on it. This has inspired me to learn to knit. Here are some yarn bombing pics.

2. Snow man on 31 degree July day. 

I actually saw one on a walk with my family.

I don't know where it came from.

I don't know how it stayed frozen.

I don't know how whoever did it got it there or kept it alive all winter.

It was just there. 

In July.

On somebody's front lawn.

There you go.  

A Rainy Day

I am extremely behind in blogging lately {I lost my camera} and I am going to do a lot of posts in one day because I just found it. This post is actually dated in late june.  

 The dots in these pictures are raindrops. They look really cool in photos.

Washago, the small town near Orillia that you probably haven't heard of

I went to my Nana's house last weekend. She lives in Washago, an extremely small town {by extremely, I mean you can walk through every street in their downtown in five minutes} that is mostly inhabited by cottage-dwellers and squirrels. I went up on the long weekend, stayed in Washago for two days and then headed to Orillia, Washago's more known neighbor. {Also the home of my grandparents}. We went up to celebrate my Nana's birthday and see my Aunt and Uncle, Richard and Ann, and their two sons, Ming and Kai. Ming and Kai are both roughly around my age. While in Washago we had our first swim of the year=really really freaking cold, several journeys to the nearby candy shop to blow all our money on candy bars, and hours of ukulele playing. In Orillia we went to the lake and had a swim and ice cream before heading back home.

Monkey bars in a park where we walked with my grandpa.

Just thought this picture was interesting.

My cousin singing with his new awesome orange ukulele.

Another cruddy day

Third crappy day in a row. Sigh. It's april and the weather is flipping out again. I brought my camera to school and took a bunch gloomy pictures.

This isn't actually at school, but it was in front

 of my house, and they just budded. 

Yay, artisticly bored me taking pictures of chairs.
