pretty
Here are some pretty pictures I took. notice the last one. Yes, there is frost to that degree. it actually is worse that was just the best shot i could find from a moving vehicle.
what a way to spend a day
when god gives you lemons in the form of lame exs i say JUMP OUT OF A PLANE! heck ya
It started off on the ride after a night of heavy drinking. Here we see Jeff oh so sweet. If I were his mom I'd want this picture. Side note: the detail in the pic is actually very nice. Anyway yeah he passed out. I would have but i was co pilot.
While we were waiting jeff was gettin a little action from a pooche whose name jeff never asked for. That's right people. he's that mean.
Here you see me proving how comfortable I am with my sexuality. Not only do I rock a pink helmet, but I'm totally cool with a rainbow being prominently displayed. Why? because it's function over fashion baby.
This is the good ol' crotch tightenin part. For girls it's not so bad. For guys, (and for me it was a girl saying this, while she was on he knees tightening the straps high five!) they say: "May sure you're all away from those straps before I tighten them." and you listen. I said to the nice lady: "That's very considerate of you."
Here is the amazing sky diving crew. Danielle and I popped out skydiving cherries a few weeks ago but you can tell by Jeff's face that while his body has developed and is giving him confusing signals he may not yet be ready to act on them.
And, like many a too-young virginity loser, Jeff can barely stand, barely think. His head hurts, his stomach hurts. He knows if felt good but it was over way too fast and it will be days before he comes to terms that, yes that JUST happened and proceed to high fivin' buddies.
Notice the plane in the background. Alrighty on its next romance as if to say: "If you want more you're going to have to call me." The first time is always awkward but get better with practise. At least I can pretend to have that wisdom now...
Of course, there are no pictures of the actual jump. You can pay for a photographer to go with you but then we wouldn't have enough room in the plane for us all to go at the same time.
This is mindy the skydiving dog. She will kick your ass. I think. Maybe not. Main point is that until you go sky diving, a dog is braver than you. And even more than that I think she's gone like 60 times. so... good like catching up to a canine.

aurora borealis
Last night, while jeff (can't write capital 'j's on jeff's computer) Danielle and I were driving around town listening to tunes, I looked out the window and noticed the northern lights. People in the northern parts of Canada have probably seen ones much more vivid and in different colours, but anyone from a southern place, i.e. Toronto can appreciate the lights. It was awesome. I was yelling: "we have to go to my house and get my camera and tripod!"
Keep in mind this was at about 3:30 n the morning, so it was already a tired moment. Actually, when we were done it was 3:33, because we had a coversation about it being good luck.
Anyway, it was awesome. The photo I'm posting is a merged image (hence the white spot) and also it was a time lapsed exposure since it was so dark. While in the photo it looks like a streak of green light, in actuality it's a pulsating, waving type of thing (once again, for the southerners)

no, it was out of focus
That photo was out of focus. Compare it to this one.
The strange thing was that I kept checking over and over again to get it and it was in focus. I don't know. There's also barrel distortion that you can see in the curvature of the earth. Also I think my lens is soft on the edges. Any photo nerds see it?
For those who don't know, this is Athabasca as seen from the south-west on what is pretty much the biggest hill. This isn't a prime example of how the town is laid out, just one of the best ways to see it.

view of the pleasent valley
This is a pic from the Pleasant Valley Lodge, a senior's home. I cranked the saturation in photoshop so it may look funny. It reminds me of how in the Planet Earth movies, they say that the fall tranformation from green to red is enough to see from space. Not that hard to believe when you see this picture.
* this photo looks out of focus. In reality it's focused on the hill to the right but there's just much detail you can't see it in such a small format. I noticed this even when I wans taking the photo. Random.*

out my back door
My backyard/parking lot thing provides awesome sunsets if you look back you'll notice that a decent percentage of my pics are from there. Here's what I saw yesterday.
