I can fly, I can fly, I can fly!

Flying is cool. Flying on an airplane is cool. Flying on a beautiful day, with blue skies and cottonball clouds is cool.

On my trip to Winnipeg, I had the opportunity to fly on an airplane for the second time in my life. The first being when I went to Disneyland when I was eight years old. Therefore, I didn't really remember what it was like to fly on a plane. For all you frequent flyers, I am sure this will be nothing new for you.

I asked my mom if I could take the window seat. As we departed I looked down at Vancouver, getting smaller and smaller. And you know what it reminded me of? Google sattelite! With my own eyes! Yes... so you may think I am a closet dork. But it is cool... I guess since I hardly ever travel, this experience was very novel for me. We went up in to the clouds - a beautiful sight. The sparse cottonball clouds settled along a flat plane that separated the atmospheres. And since it was a clear day, I could look down through to the city below. And once again, I am awestruck by God's creation and handiwork.

And Summer Begins

After 2 summer school courses and 1 correspondence course, I am finally free! No more classes, no more assignments, no more papers. Granted I still have my correspondence exam on the 13th of August, but other than that, I am free! This summer has been a busy one; busier than I expected. I am working half-time, volunteering (when I can), and had school. But now August has come, and I am glad. Time to attend weddings, venture into the Prairies for the very first time, and go to camp. Time to make use of my UBC Photo Society membership. Time to plan for Wilfred Laurier. Time to get my piano playing up to performance standard. Time to learn the guitar. Time to learn how to sing properly.

And most importantly, time to enjoy summer, enjoy the sunshine, and enjoy the daffodils.

A Poet's Rose

Thanks to AT, I now have access to a scanner! Woohoo! Yes, one more step into the digital age for Michelle. As of this moment, I still prefer using my Pentax Spotmatic-F camera, a film SLR that is approximately 30 years old. Yes, that's right people. Film. I'll plan to enter the digital camera age when I save enough money to buy a DSLR. Which will probably take about... five years....

And now that I have access to a scanner, perhaps I will make this blog more of a photo blog. We'll see. The capturing of Moments.
