Canadutch

People often ask me what it’s like to live in Canada, and that’s a very difficult answer.  There are things you can say that generally apply to all of Canada, like the people speak English or love hockey, but when it comes down to day to day life and the people you interact with, that largely depends on where exactly …

Last Sunday I posted about the foggy weather and sure enough, it’s the same this week, another Pea Soup Sunday!  I guess it could be worse, it could be pouring down rain, or freezing but still… I could use a little sunshine again! I get the feeling we are in for a rather long and dreary winter in the Netherlands …

The second day that we were in the Pyrenees we went to the end of the Estaing valley to check out the lake. Apparently it’s a pretty popular area for hikers and it was not far from our campground so we thought we’d start the day off there.  It was breathtaking! I so wanted to go on a trail ride …

This morning I woke up and couldn’t tell if the windows of our flat were foggy or if it was REALLY that foggy outside. Turns out, it REALLY was that foggy outside.  I grabbed my point and shoot and quickly snapped some photos from our front balcony.  It’s a bit wonky but you can get the idea.  There is some …

I just read this article on my beloved ONTD (I LOVE this site, so great for celeb gossip) and I’m all sorts of torn about what I think about it. The gist is, the overweight lady on the bottom of the ad has a website that caters to chubby chasers, people who like big women.  She has photos for sale …

This weekend I went to a giant craft fair with my two friends Penny and Genevieve. It’s a yearly fair that takes place in the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht and you can find supplies and workshops for pretty much any craft you can think of.  Of course, I had my trusty little point and shoot along with me! If you were …

I’m still working on my photos from the south of France, the sheer number of them intimidates me and makes me put it off.  My own fault, of course, but I will get there eventually. It’s no secret that I love taking photos of animals, and also that one of my favorite parts of visiting my in-laws is their dogs.  …

As I mentioned in an earlier post on Saturday I went into Amsterdam to check out the Zombie Walk.  I think I may have had my expectations too high after photos I’d seen from walks in other cities.  Most of them took place in the day and it was just people walking like zombies for fun.  This was ok but …

Number 16 on my 101 List was to join a book club.  It’s something I’ve wanted to do for quite a while but never really bothered to look into.  So when some friends of started one, I was all over it! I’m not actually in the above photo, as I had forgotten my tripod and was busy taking the photo …

Tonight I am off to Amsterdam with my husband and a friend to take photos of a Zombie Walk.  It’s a celebration that is being put on by the FOXLife network to celebrate The Walking Dead starting soon on TV here in the Netherlands. It’s great timing that it is so close to Halloween. I’ve always seen photos from Zombie …
