Yes, There are Mosquitoes Out in March

  By ,

I already have the itches.  We first spotted mosquitoes at my parents’ house in their back yard on Thursday night, March 15.  This marks probably the earliest I can recall in a year for these pests but it really isn’t surprising after a winter mild as it was.  Either this will be a remarkably long summer or we’ll be seeing snow in August, and if that’s the case I am out of here, Canada.  I can handle a few mosquitoes though, if it’s the situation… Continue reading

Granted

  By

Having always lived here, the fascination with Niagara  Falls to tourists has always been a foreign (heh) concept.  We live right beside a place everyone in the world can only hear about or see on TV and no one really cares.  For many who live here, it’s over-hyped for what it is. Miklos, on the other hand, came here when he was a boy and still loves the Falls even though he’s probably driven by and seen them hundreds of times more than the people… Continue reading

No Idea

  By

I previously had no idea who ‘Elvira Quesada’ is, but since his name is apparently a keyword that has led people to my site, welcome!  Click around! I have no idea how your search brought you here (prior to this entry, I mean), but you’ve found someone hopefully as unique albeit not as interesting!  I love every living thing.  Or something.

Friday Big 3

  By ,

No news to speak of today. Remembered yesterday that I like bacon.  It’s an upbeat kind of spring day, so here are some listens. Beck – Cellphone’s Dead The Strokes – Reptilia And of course, something for the moody people.

Only in Welland

  By

For some reason, today after writing about the country road photo I want to take, I decided to check out the price range of homes on the outskirts of our fair town.  Finding an incredible looking place by the river with tonnes of history and lots of updates, we decided to take a drive by for interest’s sake. Our eyes panned over the outside of this beautiful house.  A large lot, it was a beautiful older style house with a modern yellow door;  a nice-sized… Continue reading

Coffee Explosion!

  By

If you live on the countryside today, I consider you very lucky.  One of this year’s photo assignments for me is to photograph a wet country road  with a super-sunny sky, tree shadows all around.  (If you do it first, please post so I can enjoy your picture!)  I got the suburban version of that today but, as you can imagine, it’s really not as picturesque as the country concept. For the first time in a while, coffee tastes incredible this morning.  The Tassimo sort… Continue reading

Grey Whales Population Booming

  By

I was happy to read this today.  From the Weather Network: So far this year, Mexican authorities have counted 1,198 whale calves and 523 adults, a steep rise from the 599 counted in 2011 and the 183 counted in 2010. The whale count is the highest it has been since 1996, when a total of 2,721 gray whales were counted by environmental authorities. Between 2007 and February 2012, the government estimates that approximately 3,553 gray whales were born in Mexican waters. The whales breed in… Continue reading

One-Year Anniversary of the Japan Tsunami

  By

I remember waking up and looking at my Twitter feed the morning it happened. It was a day after my sister’s birthday.  (Oh by the way, should she read this, happy birthday Meghan!)  Japan had been hit by an enormous wave that demolished so many homes and destroyed enormous expanses of farmland, and worst of all, ended up taking an estimated 20,000 lives.  If that wasn’t enough, a nuclear plant was affected, causing additional threat.  The footage was unreal.  Water was on fire as it… Continue reading

A Weird Experience You’re Not Meant to Care About

  By

I felt I would explain a strange occurrence from earlier this evening on a drive with the betrothed.  For once, the sunset was actually decent, so we went on a drive and I took the camera to document.  At one point we ended up on a beach (featured here) which, as it is March, was, albeit beautiful, ice-cold on the fingers to take pictures of.  When we returned to the car, my fingers eventually got their circulation back, but the cold decided to re-locate to… Continue reading
