Fat Mum Slim's MarchPhotoADay-Complete.

Fair warning: although FAT MUM SLIM's MarchPhotoaDay was seemed to lean towards Instagram, I chose to use my DSLR instead. After all the object of the game was to get us up and snapping away. Mission accomplished.
Thank you Fat Mum Slim for the challenge. I.needed.it.
You can find my completed list on Pinterest 
And Facebook.

























 










Now.. to start working on April's list. :-)

When Japan meets Canada.. again.


Ten years ago I hosted two Japanese students through an exchange program at my daughter's school. We had them for a short time but 'adopted' them as our own. For the last two weeks we've had the pleasure of having one of them come back for a visit. A few photographs marking the time spent with such a beautiful young woman. 


Anime Ayu. Such expressive eyes.
It's mind blowing how little the Japanese pack for two weeks. I put the hair elastic there to give you an idea of two weeks worth of toiletries.  
Ayu asked us to take a picture of her in the  snow. It had just snowed big fat flakes. To our surprise she dove face first in the snow. My daughter was laughing so hard she could hardly snap the pic.
Ah, no one does Origami Cranes like the Japanese. 
She fell in love with Canada for the second time, we fell in love with her all over again. I shall miss her .. terribly.
