Kids on a ride

I went to an elementary school fundraiser this afternoon with the crew from #21. It turned out to have real carnival rides and carnival food presented by real carnies!

The event was very well attended, and kids rode on rides while grown ups hung out and watched.

In the dressing room

I really, really love to be able to take photos of people just being themselves. I’m not really into art direction or direction of any kind, really, unless it’s under duress. Posing people just isn’t my strong suit, unless it’s LEGO, then I’m totally into it. I am happy to pose inanimate objects.

Bravo!

Full disclosure: I took all these photos at the dress rehearsal last Monday. I just got permission to post them tonight after seeing the play. Hooray! (What I’m trying to say is that I didn’t take these photos tonight, even though I’m using them as though I did.)

Critics raved about the Panorama Ridge Players, Alice in Wonderland play presented on May 23rd at the lovely high school theatre. It really is a great theatre…the seats are very comfy.

But, back to the play! Critics raved…

“CUTE.” – Mike Browne

“Silly & fun – a perfect combination!” – me

“Wasn’t that great? I enjoyed that!” – Andrea’s mom

“This was the perfect Fiona play! It was great!” – Cathy Mechanic

Alice!

As a general rule, I don’t really enjoy photos of partial people, but I’m patiently waiting for my photos to be approved before posting them on my blog.  But, I can show you some behind the scenes photos in the meantime…

This play is the Alice in Wonderland play – but a version done on Broadway WAY back in the 70′s. It was great and the students were all over it. It was trippy and very fun. I enjoyed this version.

But before the play started, I got to see where the magic happens! First off, I was on the agenda WITH a special top hat graphic!

In every day and in every way…

Donner is getting better and better! I do have to tell you, he is NOT a fan of the new bladder food he’s required to eat. Like, really not happy at all, but he does have a bit every now and then. He’s also a bit nervous again. It seems to be his nature as [...]

“I just shipped my bed!”

May 1, 2013

I got off work tonight later than usual, but right in time to see a huge crowd of Canucks’ fans heading over to the game – the first game of the Stanley Cup play offs. Hooray! Sadly, as I type this, the Canucks JUST lost 3-1 to the San Jose Sharts. Stinkin’ Sharts. We’ll get [...]

NERDS! The economic miracle

April 20, 2013

Please note: When I use the word, “Nerd”, I do it with endearment. Nerds are my favourite. In fact, I married one. I *heart* nerds! Don’t you think people like this: Would make standing in line for regular, day-to-day things way more fun? I think so. I’d love to be standing behind this person while [...]

Going green

April 8, 2013

Before I was capturing the greatness of the hockey game last night, I was lucky enough to photograph a bridal shower. It was a lovely affair, full of giggling and a little bit of blushing (by the bride-to-be). I’ll ask for permission before I post anyone’s photo, but in the meantime, you can see the [...]

Meanwhile, back in the cold part of Canada…

February 26, 2013

This is how they do it in Nova Scotia: This is Mike’s dad’s front yard on Sunday morning! It was his birthday and in celebration, peegs and birdies from all over flocked to his house, thanks to Mike’s sister. They must have come for the cake. Did you notice the sidewalks are perfectly cleared around [...]

Valentines, Shmalentines!

February 14, 2013

Thursdays with Malcolm has become a regular occurrence, even on Valentines Day. Sadly, Mike & I both agreed last night that we would skip Valentines Day due to cough due to cold. It’s okay, we’ve got 2 tickets to a comedy show on Saturday with Marc Maron and Margaret Cho will be there. We’ll both [...]
