DO YOU EAT THE RED ONES LAST?

Smarties.

Candy coated chocolate.

My mouth thinks one word: Yum!

My camera thinks one word: Lensbaby!

I let the camera have its way with them first, and here are the results!










And then I ate them!



Shot for an assignment in our photography class: 30 images that tell something about you.  I like candy!  I think the last one, with me grabbing a green Smartie will be the one that makes the cut.

TOTALLY RANDOM

So this is totally random and not related at all to photography, but too fun not to share.

This morning, on my semi-daily-ish run through the drive-thru at Tim Hortons, I hit the window to collect my yummy coffee and pay my cash, and the sweet French lady who is always working the drive-thru window points to the car that is just pulling away in front of me and says "He paid for your order - have a great day!"  Well, at that point, how can I not?  The craziest part is, this is the second time this has happened to me in as many months!  Pay it forward, anyone?

I can't help but smile at the random kindness of strangers.

OSLO, NORWAY

The first shots from our afternoon in Oslo, Norway are up on Flickr.  We only had a few hours to pursue our viking roots, so we spent our time at the Viking Ship Museum, the Resistance Museum, Akershus Fortress and an quick stop in the Norwegian Museum of Architecture.
