So a recap of the past month! Exams seemed to drag on even though it was packed into 2 weeks. Things went quite well, and I was pleased with my final marks. There were a few well placed party nights in there, one after our Histology exam and another after our last exam Friday night. After getting home around 2 am, I managed to get up the next morning to pack and leave all before 10 am. Cody was so stressed out over everything...
My first week was very relaxing, with a few appointments thrown in there, and a trip up to Saint john to do some last minute Christmas shopping. The brothers arrived the Friday before Christmas, which allowed us to complete another family tradition of finding a tree!
There were a bunch of tracks through the untouched (by humans) snow in the tree lot. Even evidence of some sort of struggle??
The brothers who made us wait...
Finally a tree selection!
With plenty of time on my hands I borrowed Chris' fancy lens for some practice...
Christmas morning came quickly, with lots of presents to unwrap! Cody got a fun new toy and some new bling. And I got a very nice new lens which will be great for portraits :) I'm excited to use it... possibly for a fundraising idea for the Canine Club, but more on that another time.
Mom and Dad sporting their new shirts...
A very formal portrait shot... Chris enjoying his new reflector thingy
Christmas Dinner wouldn't be the same if it weren't for a big juicy turkey...
At some point after some number of snow storms, I went out with my brother to take some photos (I think this was my birthday?). Didnt get any fancy shots but had fun trying out my new lens, and borrowing Chris's wide angle lens.
I like how the depth of field can be very narrow with this lens, giving a blurry background.
And finally a lame attempt for a cool stretched tree shot with the wide angle lens LOL
