5C's Que Pasa

Hot off the press……

…OMG…where do I start….went to a computer class Tuesday AM & then a few pertinent errands in Kelowna… I truly am my fathers’ daughter cuz he did the same thing in Edmonton a few months ago……….I left the car running, locked the keys in it and went grocery shopping ( only he is 80 and I am much younger..sigh!!)……..fortunately I had a spare key in my wallet……….I swear that I am loosing it. Meanwhile we have started to update our computers from Tiger ( yeah of course we have Apples…duh!!!!) to Snow Leopard, totally bypassing Leopard..such a learning curve..such an expense re the photoshop program….Colin has been in the field since 6AM as today was the first day since we returned from Mexico that was perfect for the type of photos he takes.. I now realize that I won’t see him till Sunday at the earliest as we have a forecast of a perfect week…..to me this translates to leaving 2 weeks earlier in October for Mexico. Does anyone follow my logic? So many detail problems….losing my Safeway card and AirMiles card in Edmonton, getting all our vehicles repaired including the golf cart….trying to figure out what a right click is….we have only had one clicks…never mInd right or left clicks…..I refuse to bore you with the hundred other problems….my heart is crying out for Isla de la Piedra!!!

Squawk!!!!!!! Squawk!!!!!!!

Let me set the scene…..

…….We had been out to a wine & cheese open house for a client….decided to pick up Greek House take out for dinner on the way home….. while sitting & eating the bird decides to check out my plate (she does love the Greek roasted potatoes)…as she swooped down, Carmeh jumped up and what disarray….feathers everywhere……

Colin jumped up….I had another sip of vino & another bite….the bird was locked into her cage….Carmeh reprimanded….and so we continued our dinner……later it seemed no one (bird, beast or human) seemed the worse for wear (except me & the extra calories)…..where did all the feathers come from!!!!!!! Ho hum, just another day at the 5C’s.

My husband fascinates me!

He is a true professional. It is not just taking a photo but the work on the the computer to create the perfect shot. In order to create the final image below he had to take all of these and blend them together. Amazing! I wonder, do his clients realize how much is involved?

all photos by Colin Jewall (not me this time)

The final award winning photo…hours and hours of effort per photo. He loves it. Truly amazing!

A railway buff!

Wade lives here is the park and in addition to being a master carpenter he loves his trains. When he bought here he turned a flower garden into a a railroad garden! Hard to see the details in my photos but he has it all, bears, fish (now real ones), a cemetery with headstones, hobos, a coke truck, bridges, tunnels, a church, cottages, etc. It even is lit up at night. The scenes are constantly changing and a delight to all who walk past.
