busy as a bee!

Why is summer always so busy!? I have a lot on the go, and truth be told I had a bit of a melt-down recently. Between being rather busy at work developing and presenting programs, planning my wedding, trying to keep up with blogging and sponsoring, staying in touch with far-away friends, and attempting to eat and sleep on a regular basis... I was a little over-loaded. Unfortunately this meant letting down a couple people I care greatly about, and neglecting to spend time with my best friend and love, Reggie.

Why am I sharing this with you? Because I wanted to explain why my posts have been a little sporadic! I love writing my blog, and sharing my goings on with all of you; I just wanted to let you know that if I don't post for a few days at a time it means I have a lot going on, but I certainly haven't forgotten about you! I adore, and truly appreciate all my readers out there, including those who are too shy to comment :).

And as a bit of an appreciation I am still offering my prints at 50% off! Just use the code PRINT50!

So if you are interested take a look around the Newfoundland Photography section of the Hooked Goods Shop, and see if there is a print you would like! 50% off is a pretty good deal! :)

And thanks again for being such wonderful readers!

Cottage Weekends - gotta love 'em!

A couple weeks ago I mentioned that I was headed to the cottage for the weekend. It was a beautiful weekend full of sunshine, swimming, crafting and delicious food! (it always tastes better at the cottage)

 

 

 

 

 

Reggie spent lots of time fishing, and Gunner hardly stepped out of the water long enough to take a few photos. It was a wonderful weekend, and I am so looking forward to the next one - only a week and a half!

Here's dreaming of blue skies and fresh water! How 'bout you? What are you dreaming of this beautiful summer?

Camping... It's a park thing!

I work for Ontario Parks, as an Outdoor Educator. One of the problems of being a part of an operating park is that it is difficult to visit and learn from the styles and programs of other parks. This year I decided to take my summer student to a distant park, Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park, that has different but relevant programming (their program is much larger and they are doing programming that I aspire to at our little park). We were lucky enough to be able to camp during our stay, and take in a few of the sights while we were there:

 

 

 

We had a beautiful site, and it was a quiet park of the week so there weren't many people around. Upon our arrival there was a torrential downpour happening and we passed some time looking around the brand new museum/visitor centre. Once the rain stopped, we had a fire and some s'more making (more on that later :). And we even had time for a short trail - holy bugs!

It's been a really busy summer so far, so I was happy to fit this in! I know I have been neglecting my blog a little, and I'm sorry - lots on the go! However, I do have a few posts in the works, including some wedding updates! I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their summer (or winter if you are below the equator!). See you soon!
