Day 273 - Happy Birthday to me

I turned 20 today! Fin baked me a penguin cake with a crown. Unfortunately, there is no belly button. She made sure I noted that. My friends also made me birthday Jello.

I shall be getting a new camera bag soon thanks to my friends. I'm so excited.

Day 272 - Look Here

Fin and I took a walk to Columbia Lake today. I told her to turn around and snagged a shot.

Day 271 - Peacock Showing Off

We had all-you-can-eat sushi today at Sushi 99 and afterwards decided we needed to take a walk. We went to Waterloo Park to see the animals. I've been to Waterloo Park on a few occasion but today was the first time a peacock showed off its tail feathers to try and court the peahen. It was quite a fascinating sight.

Afterwards we went to get some gelato at A Whole Lot-A Gelota and It was quite satisfying. There is a thunderstorm right now and I think this is my first Waterloo thunderstorm.

Day 270 - Elora Gorge Waves

We went to Elora Gorge today. It was a lovely trip! There were even bonus fireworks at the end!

Day 269 - Popeye's

We walked to Popeye's today and had some yummy chicken. Afterwards, my friend and I decided to walk to the train station from Popeye's to burn off the calories. It took us a while to get there but I think it's the furthest I have walked in a long time.

Day 268 - Security Feature

This is the security feature on a cheque that I received from the Used Bookstore since I sold one of my textbooks. I'm feeling a little bit lazy today and in pain. I injured my leg by straining the muscle while practicing. I hope it gets completely better soon so I can play again.

Day 267 - Robin Egg Blue

These actually look like robin eggs don't they? Fortunately no robins were harmed in the making of this photo. They're just the Cadbury Mini Eggs that were on sale since it's after Easter. I love post-holiday sales.

Day 266 - Bleeding Hearts

I found these lamprocapnos spectabilis (also known as old-fashioned bleeding hearts) in my backyard.

Day 265 - Victoria Day

Happy Victoria Day everyone! I wanted photos of fireworks but there weren't very many people doing fireworks today. I enjoyed my weekend in Windsor and I suppose I shall have to get back to work again.

I have 100 more days/photos left for this Project 365. I've been a little lazy lately but hopefully I'll be able to snag some really great shots for some of the remaining shots.

Day 264 - Massage Slippers

My dad bought these shoes and it supposedly massages your feet. I'm a little skeptical but I am skeptical of almost everything.

Day 263 - Red Bean Ice Cream

I didn't realize it was so late and so this was taken about two minutes ago. I also don't have access to any editing software and so this is pretty much straight out of the camera.

Day 262 - It's Friday

I am even more sore than yesterday. I'm trying to avoid moving but that's not very easy. When I get back home, I'm just going to eat and sleep this whole weekend.

Day 261 - May 19

My body is so sore from soccer. It's a good feeling though. I'm so excited to go back home for the long weekend!

Day 260 - Bowtie

I played soccer for the first time in a long time today. It was quite refreshing. I have really missed team sports.

On another note, I've noticed that I have been doing a lot of Photoshopping on my images. Just a self-observation.

Day 259 - Bear Card

My friend (pictured here) and I made this cute little bear card from scratch for another friend's birthday. It's been a while since I've played with construction paper and markers. It was quite refreshing. I think it's a good way to de-stress.

Day 258 - Homemade Pasta

It's been a long time since I've made food. I have been eating out very often and my wallet does not appreciate this.

Day 257 - One Step Polaroid

Today I went with the Photo Club to the Photographic Historical Society of Canada Spring 2011 Fair. There were lots of neat things there and I was able to snag this pretty little Polaroid camera. I've had my eye on this specific model for a while and it was very cheap. I bought some film for it too and I hope it works. I'll try it out eventually.

Day 256 - Truffle Royale Cake

My friend bought a cake today. It looks delicious doesn't it?

Day 255 - Tire

My bike has become a very close friend of mine lately. I have biked to and from school everyday. I feel like biking is the most efficient method of transportation.

Day 254 - Dandy Dandelion

I took an early photo today. I have been getting headaches lately. I think I have been staring at computer screens too much. I think it's a sign that I should take more breaks.

Day 253 - Gummy Bears

My friend bought gummy bears and I ate so many of them. I was supposed to take a photo of ice cream today as it was Customer Appreciation Day at Marble Slab. It was only $2.00 for ice cream! I left my memory card in my laptop again. I need to stop doing that.

Day 252 - Pineapple Express

My friend bought pineapples from America for only $1 and she shared. I'm trying to work on assignments but it is hard to get motivated.

Day 251 - Mess

I'm kind of a mess right now. I have a lot of organizing and cleaning up to do. I missed my photo today. It was the first day where I didn't even take a photo during the day. Life moves so fast sometimes.

Day 250 - Blossom

I was on campus today and took a few shots. I actually liked how this turned out. I am very excited about all the colourful flowers and nature shots.

Day 249 - Green Foil

I wasn't going to take another bokeh photo but I liked how this turned out. It's a photo of green foil from an Easter chocolate egg. I think I need a photo walk soon.

Day 248 - Rock Pattern

I went to Columbia Lake to take some photos but while I was just getting started, it started raining. I'll revisit again with more of a plan next time.

Day 247 - Perfume Sample Bokeh

I always have so much stuff in my backpack and I can't fit my camera in it as well. I feel like I'm losing out on a lot of photo opportunities. I may have to stop bringing schoolwork to class and just bring my camera. I'm not sure how good an idea that is though.

Day 246 - Wood Gradient

I have not been planning my shots very well lately. I have been taking a lot of close-up shots and abstract photos. I should start taking my camera with me everywhere again. I'd like to do more landscape shots and portraits at some point.

Day 245 - Plaid Pattern

Can you sense that this is a lazy photo? It is. I have 8:30am classes every day and I am trying to go to bed by midnight every night. It's a little difficult but hopefully I can handle it.

Day 244 - LED Light

I'm exhausted and therefore my photo shows a lack of effort. It was a little LED light and I was hoping to do something a little cooler with it but I have early classes tomorrow and I just want to go to bed.

School has officially started. I hope I do well.

Day 243 - Mystery Abstract

Guess what this is?

I miss my DSLR. I feel silly for leaving it in my friend's car. This is probably a good exercise though. I can try my best to work on composition.
