Happy 21st Derek

Michael and Great Grandma

Baby's First Christmas

Michael is opening one of many presents. He just drools and gnaws on it until the paper disintegrates.

Sonny & Cher?

Everyone had a great time at the staff party.

The Harasens

Mark has the same New Friends

Kevin and his New Friends

Mother and Child

Beautiful Baby Boy

Next to my own children, this is the cutest baby I've every seen.

Michael Laughing

Sunset In Varadero

Checkmate

Kevin and I played a life size game of chess by the pool in Cuba. Can you guess who won?

Flora

Winter With A Vengeance

Winter is definately here. I haven't seen this much snow this early in the season for a long time. We got well over a foot of snow yesterday and last night. Rumor has it we are expecting 20 to 40 cm more tonight. Looks like I got my new vehicle just in the nick of time.

A Picture Is Worth 1000 Words

2008 Honda CR-V EX

Dinner Is Served

Don't leave your food unattended. This was taken at the open lunch bar by the pool.

Poster

I created a poster in Photoshop that I am having printed 16" x 20" to hang on my wall.

Varadero, Cuba

A beautiful white sand beach.

A Very Nice House

We saw this very nice house when David took us up for a flight.

Brampton Flying Club

On the way to Cuba, we stopped in Toronto for a couple days. My brother (the pilot) took us up for a ride and let Mark fly the plane.

Footprints

Swim-Up Bar

Kevin and Mark are enjoying a cool refreshing beverage at the swim-up bar of our hotel.

Swimming with Dolphins

I think this was the highlight of our trip.

Flood

The first picture was taken at the height of flooding. The second was taken 2 days later, after the water receded.

Kakabeka Beach

As you can see in the photo, the beach was entirely flooded. The sandy beach is usually about 50' deep.

Kakabeka Falls

The bottom photo effect was achieved by slowing down the shutter speed to 1/5 0f a second.

Think Pink

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. In support of Breast Cancer Research my sister-in-law raised money through pledges and then she dyed her hair bright pink.

Then & Now

The first time I came to Thunder Bay, there was so little water you could take a shower under the falls (1977). The second picture is what happens after a week of heavy rain.

Smiley

What a cutie!

Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Center

This is our local hospital, as viewed from the 6th floor of the ATAC building at LU.

Black Bear

If you ever feel the need to see a black bear up close and personal, just go to your local dump.

Smiley

You are probably getting sick of baby pictures, but too bad.

Rusty

This is my sister-in-law's puppy. He's part Jack Russel and part Shitzu (I think). Anyhow, he is about 3 months old.

Fall

Fall is here in all it's glory.

Our Cat

This is Smudge. She adores Kevin. When he calls her she comes running, no matter what she's doing.

It's A Woman's Prerogative

I've changed my mind. I will continue to post to this blog. However, please note the links on the side.

Good-Bye

I've started a new website, so I will not be posting to this one any more. Thanks for visiting and be sure to check out my new website.

The Cat In The Hat Strikes Back

Fireworks

At camp this weekend there were fireworks to close the end of the season. This photo is actually 3 photos combined into one with Photoshop.

Michael @ 8 Weeks

The Cat In The Hat

Halloween has come early to Thunder Bay.

Father & Son

Happy Birthday Mark

We went go-carting at WildSide for Mark's birthday and judging by the look on his face, I wouldn't want to get in his way.

One Sweet Baby Boy

After he's been fed and burped he is very content.

What A Little Sweetheart

It wasn't easy to get him to smile (7 weeks old today), and when I did the flash didn't go off! Ugh!

Birthday Boy

I went to my uncle's birthday party this weekend. Here he is relaxing in his present.

Michael Randall Harasen

After I saw my nephew's birth announcement I asked Dave (Photoshop Genius) to make a similar one for Michael. This is the result. I think it's great!
