Happy Easter

This is our Easter holiday weekend. Good Friday is a STAT holiday in Canada so it was a lazy day, then off for family dinner. It's so nice when someone else does the cooking and all you have to do is just show up. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining and we had a few hours to waste away


Yellow Flower (<-- technical botanical term)

I decided to use my Canon T2i and dusted off my 100mm 2.8 macro lens and shoot a few flower photos. I'm not as talented as xxxxxxa or xxxxxxb who are able to give you the botanical names of all the flowers. I am used to the keep it simple philosophy


Blue Flower (<-- technical botanical term)

We are not gardeners and everything we touch turn brown and whither away. But we seem to be doing alright with these different kind of Yellow Flowers which seem to sprout "like weeds"



Yellow Flower variety #2 (<-- technical botanical term)

I also have a Sigma 10-20mm UWA EF-s lens which I seldom use, so today I brought it out into the sunlight and found a flower on the roadway


Green/Yellow "flat" flower (<-- technical botanical term)

There is a fish & chip stand down at the Government wharf and this seagull was begging for scraps


Canon T2i, 100mm 2.8 macro lens

I don't know why I don't use this lens more. It gives good results even though it is not an "L" grade lens. That is NOT my hand, a customer was trying to feed the "gull some french fries

Here he is trying to stare me down



There are two cranes on the other dock


Canon T2i, 10-20 Sigma UWA, set at 10mm = 16mm equiv

then I notice the angry clouds



I decide to snap a shot of the aluminum ramp



soon it was time to head over for dinner with the family



Where we were able to view the evening sunset. The end to a relaxing day



Hope all you you had a relaxing Easter too
