Finally Uploaded 3 Weeks Worth of Pictures to Flickr

So yeah, I had about three weeks worth of pictures on my camera and I finally uploaded everything to Flickr.  I had pictures from a fishing expedition with my dad on my local river; unfortunately all we caught was one pike and it flipped off the hook before I could get a picture.  I went with a friend up Mt McKay during a storm, and uploaded a picture from that night.  It's a bit blurry, but I thought the picture looked pretty neat.  I've also taken lots of pictures of the flowers in my yard, so those are there too.

The one thing that's missing is Lego pictures.  As I was uploading everything, I realized I hadn't taken any at all during these last few weeks!  Hopefully I'll have some time to remedy that this week!

Thanks :)

Just wanted to say thank you to whomever bought a copy of "Look at All the Books."  Your support is greatly appreciated!

Active Again!

Just over a year ago, I decided to stop posting to this blog.  My idea was that I would start posting to the new blog I started on my personal website.  But for the last little while, I haven't been very happy with the way my site, and my blog in particular, has been going.  So as the first step in revamping my website, I decided to move all of the photography posts I've made over the last year to this blog (with the exception of two, "Spring Photography" and "Speak Out With Your Geek Out: Lego Photography."  The first one is about an article I wrote, and the second one is a post I wrote about the hobby; the second one appears here as well). 

So if you're looking for posts about photography, look no further!  But if you're interested in posts about writing, check out my blog on shaunakosoris.com.

A Late Thank You

I just wanted to give a quick shout-out to the people who bought some greeting cards from my Red Bubble site over the last week.  Thank you so much for your support!

A Whole Bunch of Pictures and an Update on the Flood

Edward Street Bridge Last Night, a photo by s.kosoris on Flickr.

If you've been on my Flickr photostream lately, you may have noticed I haven't uploaded anything new since May 29th. While I haven't uploaded anything new I have taken quite a few pictures during that time. So as I write this I have over fifty pictures uploading to Flickr. There are a lot of flower pictures because I bought flowers and our lupins bloomed. But there are also a bunch of waterfalls. In the wake of the floods I wanted to see what all of the local waterfalls looked like. I went back to Kakabeka one night, then went out to High Falls and Middle Falls a few days after that.

As to the flooding, if you aren't aware of what happened, my city received record breaking rainfall in late May. Our sewage plant was flooded and many people ended up with both water and sewage in their basements. This was mainly restricted to two areas in the city.

It's taken a few weeks but as far as I know the pumps are back online (or should be within a day or so). We've had temporary pumps functional for the last week or so, but they were playing catch up and pumping out the sewage pump. Luckily we haven't had much more rain in the last few weeks!

And if anyone is wondering, my house was completely fine. I actually drove home through the storm which was a bit scary, but my basement was completely fine. I was more worried about the roof because it had been leaking a few days before the bad storm, but it's also been fine.
