I've always wanted to learn more about berries. I would have no idea what to eat if I were stranded. That is terrifying to me yet I still do nothing about it. 

note to self: buy a berry book so you don't accidentally poison yourself after surviving a plane crash. 

My stroll to the farmers market last night was nice & quiet. I like our tuesday tradition. There were 3 of the oldest men I have ever seen playing banjo's and guitars singing a song about a grasshopper. They were even giving away free corn. wonderful. 

on a more scrumptious note. 

I finally – after 6 weeks – made nice enough to the pita chip person that they are going to save me a bag next week. He said he promised. oh my gosh, I can taste them already. They are home made seasoned pita chips that are unbelievable. They give them away with sample dips they also sell but every week they sell out before 4:30. they open at 4 and I don't get off work until 5. So today they young man told me he will remember me. and save me a bag. yippy! 

What are your favorite summer traditions you will be saying good-bye to in the next few weeks? 

I don't get graffiti. I can never read it, I don't get the lingo, the tagging is an unknown world to me - but dang it if the lot of them shouldn't be old school typographers with those beautiful lines and curves. 

It is Monday and time for a bench! This little guy almost took the leap on this precarious ledge but at the last minute he changed his mind and decided it wasn't so bad after all. 

A few fellow local photographers and I set out in the wind yesterday for a bit of a photo walk in downtown Edmonton. After finding the joint - the 8 of us set out into the depths of a grungy parkade mostly abandon. I was testing a new lens I rented and although not crazed by it on the shoot, I am really happy with the results now seeing them downloaded.  

The day was awesome, thanks so much to everyone who made it. we are planning to meet up once a month. If you are interested in coming along with us send me a message and I'll add you to the mail list.  

I am musing all thing grey over on Mortal muses today. Come and join us.

it's just one of those days. 

take photo of dirty hand rail that hasn't been cleaned since 1987. check. 

I lament the current season situation. I know I said this already but summer didn't even get here properly and now its on it's way out? this is so no fair. Donna & Lucy can just clam it too! 

I am in a bit of a daze about summer being over soon.
