Painting of Jasper National park

I tried to get a decent photo of it, but the light was poir inside. Anyway, you can get an idea of the colours by imagining a cross betwee these two photos!

Meet Norman...

The new love of my life. We meet today at Long and McQuade, and so I brought him home with me. Hes handmade in Quebec, and hes a Norman. I was rather blessed because he is a nicer gat than what I was wanting, but for a lesser price, since he is "used", or rather, was on hire purchase but never got picked up. It was meant to be!

Another painting

This is a typical Alberta-prairie thing... broken down old sheds and barns plonk in the middle of wheat fields.

Jackrabbit chillin on the front yard

these dudes are ugly, but he looks ok in this pic. They are white in winter, you can see remnants of the winter coat.. with goofy big ears and rediculously large back feet and long legs...
