Easter Long Weekend

Betty and I took the kids to the fair at Lansdowne Centre. This has become an annual Spring tradition. We were game: I was eager to take some pictures with my new DSLR gear, Betty wanted to get some shopping in at the Winners store, and the kids were excited about the rides. A good time had by all.

Disappointingly, there were few photographic "keepers," especially given the fine weather and the rich colours typical of amusement park equipment and midways (I confess to being a colour junkie, and the more saturated, the better). Here is a paltry sampling.


The fledgling Photo Club at my workplace has "Spring" as its theme this month. I'll try my best to wrangle the above picture as an entry.





We had two extended family outings—turkey dinner at Betty's parents, and a Chinese banquet with my side of the family.

This weekend marks two whole months of financial self-control. My only "luxury" purchases to date have been a half-dozen photo mags. Why this restraint? Yep, you guessed it, all in the cause of some big ticket items: more lenses for the camera, and an Apple iMac!
