It has been a long time since the last picture of Val. Too long.

The blur effect comes from my Lensbaby Composer lens.

It is a particular type of effect, especially when used in a portrait.

I am a little late I confess, this is the first goal of Val’s team during the first an only game on Sunday, in a U-18 tournament at Laval last week-end.

“Shooting” a goal is something abstract, what counts? the Goal structure, the ball or the goalie?

Of course its the picture.

A very young bird, an American Robin crashed during a training mission onto Lise’s flowers.

No ones hurt, while trying to get closer to the beast, it took off like a spring toward us, it then went back to its family.

Sunday last, while taking the dog for a walk in the trail, we see a Provincial Police car at the beginning of it. While talking with the agent, he tells me a “probably” stolen and burnt car was reported in the trail. The don’t have the equipment to retreive it, it will have to stay there for a while.

The police car leaves, I am curious, got to see the wreck.

After a good half hour walk, we found it. The least we can say is that this thing got warm recently.

It is not too good for the landscape.

It’s very rare that I talk about wine, but can’t let that one going under the radar: The Pirate of Cocoa Hill 2007, Afrique du Sud.

Jaqueline, my neighbor working at the SAQ, strongly suggested me to give it a try.

Wow, such a nice wine, a delicacy and at $14.60, a price you can’t beat.

I bought 5 bottles today, I don’t think we should see it around for too long.

Be discreet, don’t tell the brothers in law.

Taken while walking in the woods, Notre-Dame-de-l’Ile-Perrot, a nice little touch of spring.

As mentioned in the previous post on the subject 3 other members from the Team Extrême club of Fermont-Labrador City were on site for their very first amateur bout.

Here they are:

Nancy Pelletier from Fermont, a nice young and very determined lady,

Doug Muyanga of Labrador City, a ball of energy,

And Jobie Dewland also from Labrador City, lost of power.

Here are links, the story of that day in chronological fashion:

Thanks a million again to these wonderful athletes, for their patience with me and for their generosity in front of the lens.

J’espère que vous allez continuez, il y a trop de talent en vous!

I sincerely hope you will continue your endeavor, there is too much talent within you!

Rubis, victim of my experiences, I bought an LED pocket lamp at Costco, it is very interesting to use in photography.

I have use “Simplify’ from Topaz software for the finishing.
