Quarterly posts?

Well, despite all my good intentions, it is yet again a big stretch since my last post - more than 3 months!

 


 

Following up on my last post, I received my "test print" in good time. 

 

My mistake: The photos are too dark so am going to have to redo them all accordingly.

 

Blurb's mistake: Their cutter was skew so there are some weird slivers of blank page where there shouldn't be. 

 

I do love the look of the book. Only problem is that it would be difficult to write in it (think "journal") because of the binding. So am considering switching a staple binding, as magazines used to be made. Its more expensive than a perfect-bound book, strangely enough. 

 

It is to Blurb's huge credit that because of the mis-cuts, they've given me a free round to try again, and also 90 days to do it in ... plus another 90 days because I couldn't get my act together!

 

I guess working 6 days a week since November took its toll. Never mind, I've now got until early May to get my retry organized.

 

Meanwhile, I have started picking my camera up again. The biggest thing was an adventure to the Sundre area of Alberta, Canada, where I joined two dedicated wild horse preservation advocates for three days of driving around the Rocky Mountain foothills, searching for the various herds. Watch for a post about it!

 

Just before I left for Alberta, I captured the photo above in Function Junction, Whistler, BC.

 

Until next time, keep your stick on the ice and your elbows up! (If you know, you know!)
