Random Photos

We all do it now that access is so much faster.
We take random photos of things we find hilarious, meaningful, interesting or crazy.
Here are a few shots I have taken over the last few months with quick explanations.
Enjoy!


Green Eggs and Ham!
Well the closest I may ever get to it.
Thanks to Stella's Cafe and Bakery and their delicious Eggs Benedict topped off with a lemon spinach sauce.  The flavour was effervescent and I loved the eggs and ham that Sam grew to love, even if he was in a house / box / train.




Learn to what?!?
How does one do that?
Thank you rideuacanoeclub.ca and the loss of letters that put a smile on my face.




Graffiti reads:
"Jesus loves me but I just want to be friends so it's awkward."

Graffiti in the washroom of the politically left wing University of Winnipeg,
located in downtown Winnipeg, Manitoba.




More graffiti that reminded me of a book I just read about blogging, Blog Theory by Jodi Dean, and how we have become a 'whatever' culture, referring to:

"The whatever blogger just wants to get something up there, to connect, to be counted, to leave her mark, to start a meme. Dean calls this “reflexive communication”: communication caught up in its own excited loops of chat. Personalization, she argues, shapes and neutralizes every act of participation by putting the focus not on a sustainable collective identity but on the giddy “look at me” moment of the Instagram and the status line. The whatever blogger is, like, fifteen, forever." - Julia Lupton, Los Angeles Review of Books.


I am like, so, like, blogging, like, forever.  Whaaaatever!

Signs of Canada Day!!!

So far I have ventured to the Manitoba Legislature to see the human Canadian flag being created (no pics, raining too much), visited the Canadian Mint and received a free gold Canadian flag pin, walked up and down Osbourne Street to enjoy people, food and the funky.  I am off to The Forks tonight to see fireworks and have had an excellent super humid and hot Canada Day.  My goal with my camera today was to catch signs that it is the celebration of our country.  This is what I captured:

Winnipeg Delights

Here are a few of my favourite things about Winnipeg thus far.  Press play, then read.  Sing along if you wish!



The connection to the land is the first thing I noticed about people of Winnipeg.  They believe in respecting the land and caring for the animals who also share this land.  Animals can be found all over the city, and some appear to be quite tame and well trained.


There are also those who have a strong connection to the water, as Lake Winnipeg is less than one hour away, and Manitoba itself boasts over 110,000 lakes.  Yikes!  This is a watery place.  No wonder there are houses with such theme as this:
