Speaking of new things, it was convocation day yesterday. It was great to see everyone and felt good to celebrate such an accomplishment! The past two years were quite challenging on many fronts and brought on a tremendous amount of change. There were days I thought I would never make it. Now that I'm here, I can look back and see how far I've come. And as I look forward, I see a bright future with the sky as the limit. So, with diplomas in hand and new friends to carry with us, I guess it's time for us to leave the nest too . . .

It seems like every time I look out the window these days, I see something new in the backyard. At this time of year, it happens to be babies . . . bunnies, turtles, robins . . . no, I do not live at the zoo! anyways, today it was a Canada Goose with her or his? goslings. They were peacefully grazing on grass and insects, until I came out to take pictures, then, they decided to move into the neighbour's yard. Either the grass is greener over there or my red pyjama pants sent up warning flags . . . actually, the rest of the gang was already there -- at least two dozen of them -- so I guess they went to join the party. I did manage to get a few shots, though I really must invest in some fatigues if I wish to continue pursuing this wildlife photography . . .

Travelling is one of life's best teachers and its one of the things I love to do most. Through it, I discovered my passion for photography. When I came home, I found myself spending a great deal of time and effort putting albums together with all of the notes I had taken to tell the story of my experiences and share them with others. It was actually my trip to South Africa in 2008 and the picture I took of a butterfly that made me realize I wanted to become a photojournalist. So, here I am at Loyalist College in the second and last year of my program. I've learned so much already and this is just the beginning!
