switching gears

Posted by andrea in: Misc. life|Photography

Thank you for your kind emails yesterday. I know I’m not alone, and that I can’t be perfect. The best I can do is (a) get lots of sleep and exercise (b) make sure I’m fed and watered (c) take deep breaths and (d) try my best. Those things will go a long way.

IN other news, the end of the school year is approaching. Sarah had her end-of-year concert yesterday. I have given up photographing these kinds of school events. Because it’s hard to get something better than this:

I love the kindergarten class. The teacher works hard to make it a happy place. It’s an inspiring place to learn, isn’t it?

Here’s the view from the window:

And here are my two favourite photos from yesterday:

I love these girls so much.

I can’t believe summer’s here already.

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.

I've deactivated the commenting function as well as my contact form so if you want to get in touch, please drop me a line at quietfish@gmail.com. Thank you!
