The Resting Butterfly

This Butterfly was resting on the wall just outside one of the rooms in Mexico, which gave me the opportunity to get in close for this shot.

Christmas Lily

Yesterday, I decided that it had been too long since I had played with my camera...So I wandered around the house taking pictures of all the Christmas plants and decorations. This is one of the flowers in a bunch that I bought Kristin a few days back.

Life on a Bike

I nearly didn't take this shot. I walked right past before I decided that it might make a good photo. I'm glad I did as I like how it turned out.

Bougainvillea Flower

I really like this shot of this tiny white flower. I wish I had taken a little more time to line up the shot so that the flower itself was a little more in focus rather than the purple leaf in front of it.

Mexican Wave

One of my favorite photographers is Clark Little. He specializes in photographs of waves. I spent a lot of my time in Mexico diving around the waves trying to get my own shots. None of mine turned out anywhere near as good as his but I like how a few of them came out.

Holly & Jules Wedding

So the main purpose of my trip to Mexico was for my best friends wedding. I took the opportunity to try my luck at wedding photography. I am curious to know what people think.

Calgary Traffic

This is another shot from my night drive. I have been wanting to try a long exposure shot to capture the lights of cars as they go past for a while. I found this nice spot with the cityscape in the background. I managed to time this shot just as the C-Train came past to add extra colour to some of the lights.

Bottlenose Fluke

I couldn't resist the opportunity to go on a snorkeling adventure while in Mexico. On the boat ride out to the  Marietas Islands, we crossed paths with several dolphins. I managed to get a few luck shots.
