☆ About Town ☆

Moving to a new town, a new province, has been an interesting experience. I've not really had any time to be homesick as there is so much to see and do. More then anything, I think that I miss the people more then the place in general. Although, this summer I did miss the daily weekend ritual of driving up to Grand Bend for a day of sunshine, Mike's Hard Lemonade and FUN.

Living here though, has been nothing but a big long adventure. It's funny, when people ask me if I know where this is or that, I look at them wide eyed and say "I'm not from here" I wonder how long that excuse will wash ? How long will it be before I feel like I live here and i'm NOT a tourist ? The things that I find interesting or whatnot, other's just look at me like....your getting excited over that ??

I want to take my camera and go walk around the city center. The architecture of the buildings and the intricate detailing and the workmanship of the older buildings is just mind boggling. They don't build structures today like they did back then. Here is a pic of the steeple of the "ole stone church" located in the heart of Saint John.



I hope to take alot more photographs of my town, my city. Sometimes I get frustrated with my camera, because the photos don't seem to turn out the way that I see the images. If that makes any sense at all. It's hard to explain. Thru my eyes, is different then what appears on the camera ? I think the key is in the editing. So I do enjoy fooling around with the images and editing them till I see something I like.

☆Now What?☆

I just finished the background and banner for my new blog. It took afew tries to get it up there, the background that is. I made it out of a wintery colab scrap kit by Nikki Beaudreau and Kitty Designs. The kit is named Winter's Kiss and it is absaloutly stunning. Very beautiful : )

I'm all proud of myself now ! I tried various sizes till I got the right dimensions, 800x600 was too small and it didn't stretch out across the screen. I tried 1000x600 and it was too short , it covered the screen width wise but not length wise. So I made it 1050x1000 and it fits perfectly ! It was almost an all afternoon thing. It's all finished now. So ..... now what ?

It seems to go like that. I've had a website, all sorts of blogs, wordpress, window's live spaces, ect....I have fun designing these things and doing the HTML and coding and such and then.......exactly, then what ? Then what am I supposed to do ? I guess I could blog and display my photographs, my PSP creations, my PhotoShop snafoo's as i'm learning. Who know's what I'll do with my little piece of the internet. I don't know. Either way, I had a ton of fun today : )
