Red Letter Day - March 1st is St. David's Day

Flag of Wales

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi (St David's Day) is tomorrow (Saturday March 1st )
It's the national Holiday of Wales,  sort of like Canada Day,  or I guess Wales Day. 

Wiki link with history and current info
Link to Recipes for St David's Day   
I was going to link to some Welsh  beer at the LCBO but couldn't find any.

Below are Daffodils & Leeks & symbols of wales,  & 'Cawl'  a type of welsh soup or stew.


March will have quite a few more Red Letter Day's, so stay tuned.

Pic Of the Day - Snowed In

http://www.flickr.com/photos/66888488@N02/

Today we have a bit of a tourist photo. It's taken from River Road (Niagara Falls Ontario) looking down to the bottom of the gorge on the lower Niagara River (the river AFTER it goes over the falls). Being in a 56M gorge more snow & ice accumulate than above and give you geat views like this even when the streets are clean and the sun is out "up top".

Pic Of the Day - Spring is Coming ?

Spring is Coming ?


A bit of wishful thinking & forshadowing for today. These spring flowers are from a few years ago.  I found a an old folder with some photos I hasd meant to post at the time but never did.  I may  post a few more over the next little while.

Another photo I've been hanging onto since fall. 
I like the texture on the roof and the patterens on the paint,  the combination of light & shadow doesn't hurt either.

Finally! - The next part of TnT's Wedding Video

Finally



We have finally posted the (1st real section) of Tiffany & Tylers wedding rehearsal.   It's got a stylized 8mm film or 'Home movie' look. 

I'm working on the post production of the actual ceremony section that will have a more traditional/romantic wedding look to it.

I'd like to say it will be up very soon... but it will be up as soon as it is finished. 

Here are the Links.

Graphiti (another old video)


This one is even older than the last one.  It's one of the first things I ever
shot & edited.

One of the 1st things I ever shot & edited.  It was shot on a consumer camcorder (SD), digitized from tape then edited & coloured on agonizingly slow desktop.
