Sigh of Relief goes here.

It has been a really rough winter. I have lived in atlantic Canada my entire life, so I am pretty accustomed to a lot of cold and snow, but this winter has just been ridiculous. Since October I have been surrounded and caged in by snowbanks from 5 - 10 feet tall. It has snowed consistently several times a week, and has been bitter cold since fall.

So you might imagine my surprise and delight upon stumbling across these little guys here:



A shout out to the fellow in the bottom who hasn't quite figured out that it's Spring yet. I'm sure he'll catch on soon.

So when I saw these I just had to go home and get my camera to document the first flowers of Spring. I had a nice little chat with a very friendly lady to stopped at the same time I did to admire them. She had a little camera in her pocket and took some photos and chatted about my camera. (I have a dSLR, so I'm frequently stopped while I'm out by people asking if I'm a professional photographer, etc. I just tell them about the photo courses I took at school and whatnot.)

On a side note, isn't this an adorable roof?



As far as rooftops are concerned, I'd consider that a pretty darn cute one.

All in all, things are going very well. I'm just finishing up an application for a student entrepreneurship loan to start up a legit, legal, tax paying business this summer. I'm going to set up shop at local markets. I LOVE not working for other people, I'm a diy kind of gal.

So yes, have a good Friday everyone.

Playing around with color.

I've just been fiddling around with photoshop this evening, and came up with these. I'm exploring colors and textures, not sure if I'll make prints or not just yet.

Any thoughts?
