I had my uncle take some shots of Amanda and I. They turned out quite nice. I'm frustrated though because while I have the RAW files, none of my software packages are up to date enough to process files from the 5D MkII. Digital photography is cheaper than film... HA! You didn't have to buy new software if you changed film stock! So frustrating!]]>

A shot of the spillway at the old Pinawa dam. Built in 1906, it was the first dam in Manitoba and had the longest transmission lines in the world. It sits in the Pinawa channel of the Winnipeg River system. It was decommissioned in 1951 when larger dams like the Seven Sisters dam started supplying Winnipeg.
I have a flash gallery that I'll post of shots I took while walking around the site. Since this is my favorite I thought I'd feature it first. ]]>

A bit of a long story here, but we have a new cat. Amanda came home one day and a man was walking down the street with a kitten asking people if it was theirs. When he asked Amanda he said he didn't want to keep it cause his dog didn't get along with it. He asked Amanda if she'd take it. She said she would, and would try and track down it's owners.
Well kitty has no tattoos and is quite young, around 4-5 months by my guess. So we weren't too hopeful on finding an owner. We've kept an eye out for missing cat posters, and even dropped off fliers and put some posters up saying we found a kitten. It's been just over two weeks that we've had it, and it looks like we're now the owners of a new kitten. She's pretty good for the most part, though can be a handful when she gets a bit hyper.
We'll have to get her to the vet soon to make sure she's healthy and gets her shots. I've been a bit weary about having a new cat since our experience with the previous one, but it's looking like this kitten is quite friendly and sociable. Hopefully things will go better this time.
A bit of a story behind the name too. We wanted to come up with something along the lines of luck or fate. Thought Lucy was close to luck, and it suited her. I wanted to call her Trixy seeing as how she's black and white, and Tri-X is my favorite film. Alas, Lucy won out. ]]>

Seems like there is always some work to be done around the house. After getting the foundation work done, I now have a list of things to do that is way too long. Right now I'm focusing on getting the yard finished up. Foundation to paint, weeds to pull, flower beds to make, fences to fix... the list goes on. Painting is done... this weekend was weed pulling. I managed to pull around 100 pounds of dandelions and various weeds from the lawn. The price of trying to take care of your lawn organically. Hopefully that'll be a majority of the weed pulling for the year.... or not, we'll see.
Projects around the home are eating up all my time and money for photography... wish that wasn't the case, but it is...]]>

By replacing solar energy with
fossil fuel, by raising millions of food animals in close confinement,
by feeding those animals foods they never evolved to eat, and by
feeding ourselves foods far more novel than we even realize, we are
taking risks with our health and the health of the natural world that
are unprecedented.
