moments this week | photodump 09

Moments this week! Every Saturday night I enjoy looking through and editing all my photos that I took throughout the week. It’s a way to slow down in the world of digital photography. Here’s a mixture of photos taken on my Canon M100, OM Digital Solutions EM1 Mark II and my iPhone.


Parker and I tried to spend as many mornings as we could down by the water.


Victoria’s has really gotten into her Yoto Player. She loves playing the song cards and I think Parker enjoys listening too.


I photographed the moon! One night I had the inkling to go and photograph the moon. It wasn’t quite a full moon, this was three days before but I wanted to experiment with using various trees and foliage to frame. I don’t do lunar photography often so next time I’d go out a little earlier cause I really want to capture like a daytime moon sighting. For this I used my OM Digital Solutions EM1 Mark II with the 40-150mm F2.8 PRO lens and the 1.4x Teleconverter.


Parker and I spent one of Victoria’s nap time cleaning up the front porch so we can enjoy nice quiet times during the day outside. I also picked up a small pool so we can have some water fun. Of course, Mothers Day weekend we had a huge heatwave and this would have been perfect. Since then it’s been very cool and rainy.


Victoria and I quite enjoyed this time outside.


One evening I took Victoria out for a spontaneous walk and we ran into our neighbour that has a grandchild around Victoria’s age. It was really cute watching them run around.


We spent majority of the week enjoying our new space at home so this was actually our first trip out to the park later in the week. Parker was in the process of dropping a nap so we came out fairly early which was really nice.


We’ve had some crazy thunderstorms roll through here throughout the week. One afternoon Parker and I were sitting outside when one started. All of a sudden torrential downpour came and thunder and lighting were right above us.


By the end of the week we continued picking away at cleaning up our patio to make it a nice space for us all. We’ve got the pool and sand area setup but we’re now working on the sitting area for us.
