April 2012

April has proven to be hit or miss in Saint John for getting out and taking pics. The days have been looking nice until you go outside and then brrrr its cold. But I was able to get out a couple times. Once with the fam and the second time we had to get the winter tires off and so I brought my camera.

First we took a few hours to go and take pictures at Rockwood Park. We have a 2 year old so he would just love to see the animals. We did the usual and that’s to stop at the Duck Pond. And then drove further in to the stables where they have goats, pony’s and Horses. Here are a few pics of our outing.

 This is along the Duck pond. I really didn't know what I snapped until I got home and dumped them onto my computer. As soon as I seen it I thought "On Your Mark" hehe it fit so perfectly.

What they were doing is as my youngest boy was approaching them they were getting ready to jump into the water to escape him.

 This is a picture of my wife and my youngest. I Love the Black & White setting. I always shoot in colour and then convert it to B&W.

 A Picture of my wife. The setting is very nice for Family pics or individual pics. This is further into the park. Just keep following the road until you get into the Bridge.

Here is a pic of my oldest. I really like this pic. The Background isn't so nice but overall the pic is decent. .

Here is my little boy. He was having a blast here. Especially with the goats. He kept trying to put his head through the fence. I think he even gave one a kiss...I don't know.

The good thing about Digital photography is you can snap and snap away and not worry about film and taking up a small amount of pics. This was one of those snap many photo's pics. 

2 weeks ago I drove to work and my car was sound odd on the rear driver’s side so when I got to work I looked and I had a flat tire. I chalked it up to Friday the 13^th luck. So I left work early to and I had to slowly drive up to the Irving to pump up my tire so I could get home and figure things out. So I got to the Irving and I was so thankful of how they were there for me to help me in my time of need. They Charged me a DOLLAR to turn on the air hose so I could pump up the tire. This of course added to my annoyance.

Anyways I got home and I decided to get the winter tires off. So we drove quite a ways out to Hunter Lake Tire. So I decided to make a morning of it and bring my camera as well. Here are some shots from that outing. 

 This is at Hunter lake in Saint John, NB. While our tires were getting fixed my oldest and I took a walk and snapped a few pics.

 We decided to walk into someone's yard and get to their doc. That is the house hidden on the left. The clouds add so much to the picture.

This one here is my fav pic of the year so far. Large format this looks incredible (Fell free to click on it to see a slightly larger image). This picture has it all. Dramatic clouds, Reflection in the water, Beautiful home. I was so happy with the finished product. 

Well that's it for now. I am starting to see some trees budding so I can't wait to get out and snap a few shots of true spring flowers. Anyways thats it for now.
