Waterfront

I recently attended a conference at Niagara-on-the-lake, Ontario and was lucky to get a away during the conference and enjoy some of the waterfront near our hotel. I was intrigued by the playfulness of the seagulls flying around and surprised at how close you could actually get to them. I bet if I had some food on hand, I could have pet them. Here's a view of some of shots I took while at the conference. I have a whole lot more, but need more time to dedicate to editing. I doubt that will be happening anytime soon. But here is a taste. 

Around the University

I was in desperate need of a break from data transposing and required a task that was both relaxing and fun, but still stimulating as well (you can only watch so many episodes of Top Gear to step away from school). Lucky for me I brought my camera to school and so I decided to take a venture around the pasture called the University of Saskatchewan. One of my favorite spots on campus is the cow pen. There is something about cows that's intimidating and wonderful at the same time. The cows were in a great mood, bustling around like children in a day care. I even happened on one that smiled for the camera. Although I didn't take too many pictures, it was a good change of pace and made me realize I should do this more often.
