Hot band in the cool of November - Simmer

I finally had the chance to shoot some promotional photos for the eclectic trio, Simmer. These three musicians are hard to categorize into one style of music. The three of them all come from different backgrounds combining jazz, reggae, rock and world music. All three of them work on other projects as well, but they come together to infuse new meaning into music.

Antics

I spent the day at the Baby and Toddler Fair, which was a bit of bust as very few people showed. A lot of vendors had to cancel at the last minute due to illness so perhaps it is just the flu shutting down the neighbourhood. Bobs and Lolo played to an almost empty crowd at their second set.

It was my first official and proper showing at a tradeshow event so today was a little disappointing. It is still a good experience to show up, set up, meet and greet vendors and the public.

My husband brought the kids in the afternoon to see the show, but eldest wanted her face painted and spent the rest of the time scooting around on the pedalless bikes.

Oh, a feel a few tangents trying to break in here.

Bahhh... here is daughter at bath time tonight. I was told I must take a photo of her lovely dragon before it was washed away. She has a thing with dragons right now. The daughter who I thought would remain a princess forever is branching out and is now a fan of dragons; so much so that at 6:00 am this morning woke up screaming from a nightmare and I ran to her side only to find out that her nightmare involved her little sister drawing on her dragon picture that she had been working on in her dream. oh the joys of four year olds. She also has a thing about recording bizarre things that I want to throw out or recycle. She is a very visual person and a packrat to the extreme. She must be an old soul. You cannot imagine the odd things I have had to take a pictures of.

This is a bit rambly tonight. I just wanted to post the photo. No need for a long intro.

Rain rain go away....

I am just doing some editing tonight and I came across these photos from last month. They are simple photos, but something about these two photos really draws my attention in. Perhaps it is because I like boots a lot.

Besides feet on their own, I really like to take pictures of boots. I have a collection of my daughter's boots from each season as they grow and hop into new ones.

Baby and Toddler Fair

Come and visit us at The Baby and Toddler Fair this Sunday at the Croatian Cultural Centre.

Happy Halloween!

My kids have been pretty sick this past 10 days. Who knows if it was H1N1 or not. They are on the mend, but we had to keep Halloween pretty low key. As we made three trips to the pumpking patch this year we had a lot of pumpkins to catch up on before the trick or treating began.

As the day was absolutely gorgeous we all took turns on our assembly line decorating our jack o'lanterns in the sunlight streaming into the kitchen.

Daughter wanted to be a vampire princess so she is here practising her fangs.

Another musical selection.

I follow a great blog...Wreckless Girl... and she had this lovely woman posted on her blog... Here she is: Amy Seeley.

Robots Need Love Too.

Right now I have a thing for Dan Mangan.

It is such a thing that I could listen to Nice Nice, Very Nice all day long and not get bored, (okay well maybe not, but I still really like the album).

If you ever come up beside me in my car just singing away at the top of my lungs it is Robots that I will most likely be singing too. The kids know the chorus and we sing it out together. I just saw his video posted on the 'Vancouver is Awesome' website and here it is:
