My cousin reminded me that I haven't posted lately (hi Kayla!). I realized it was true. I guess I have a bit of the winter and end of term blahs. I've been doing a lot of homework lately, and it's still winter. And do people really want to see another dozen photos of snow?

In any case, I need to think more positively. Spring is on its way - and with it, my graduation from university! Much to look forward to.

I took a little break from homework a few days ago and we went out for breakfast. The best part (better than the food, I'd say), was sitting in the sunroom. All that natural light! It did our weary Winnipeg winter souls good.

We then wandered around the shops. I pretended that I wasn't procrastinating, and it ended up feeling a bit like we were tourists visiting Winnipeg.

  17. Oh, this post made me happy, today feels like the first day of spring in my country (I seriously hope we get spring soon!!) I love touristing in a city I've been so much times, and discovering all kinds of things I've never really seen.

    And graduation from university! Nice! :D

    1. hi caroline! we use a canon 5D mkii. we most often use the 50mm f/1.4, but will sometimes change it up with a 35mm, 85mm, or a 24-70mm.

  20. Goodness, that waffle looks so good!
    I know the feeling with winter, I've been forcing myself out of the house- and even though it's nicer out temperature wise here, it's still just not pretty. I always have a lack of motivation until spring finally hits.
    Love all the colors in this post.

  21. I love those times when it seems perfect to get away and do something new. It seems this time of year we need it more.

  22. I know exactly what you mean about the end of term blahs! Maybe some waffles and a game of home-town tourist will help in my case too.
    I love the photos! and if you were to post dozens more of snow, I really wouldn't mind...
