Went for a Walk


Hello All!

So I have a new hobby and its walking (and taking pictures). I know it sounds really lame but I have never felt better. I was kind of pissed off one night so I decided to blow off steam by taking a walk and I decided to check out a trail we have behind our house...it is an awesome trail. Its called "Lochside" and it is a forest trail that runs through farmland, you can see horses and cows to deer and bunnies on your walk. I usually go for an hour and that means making it all the way to the Environmental Habitat lake that is actually very pretty and not as marshy as you would think. Anyway, on these walks I always encounter the most beautiful foilage and wild animals everywhere. Tonight I was smart enough to take my camera and here are a few shots of what I came accross.
The picture above is a view of Mount Doug, taken after I climbed a very steep hill to get the shot.


Only one of the hundreds (no joke) of slugs I come accross on my walks. Last night there were so many fat, black ones but of course I couldnt even find one tonight...how does that work?

Only now can you fully appreciate their size. Please try to keep in mind that they fall from the trees......

I can't identify this flower until I have spoken to my mom. I think its beautiful and I found it on my way up the steep hill to take the picture of Mt. Doug.

Here is a little star flower, delicate and the only one on the bush.

I thought this was the cutest thing!

I had to stop and take a look at what surrounded me. Even the view above was breathtaking and I felt sheltered under my canopy of trees.
I enjoy every walk as much or more than the last one and I plan on taking many more pictures (I need the practice). Let me know what you think!

Futurama!

Hello blogmates!
Welcome June and bring on the sunshine and hot weather! I need to hit the beach in a bad way and I need some good weather to do so. I would have to say that last month's weather was rather shitty for Victoria and I really need a good June to make up for it, so far so good.

Are there any Futurama fans out there? I'm a freak for the show as it makes me laugh my ass off whenever I watch it. My fellow co-worker Warren is also a fan and we like to exchange Futurama quotes over MSN. Damn there are some good ones, here is just a sample:
Bender: That's no flying saucer! That's my ASS!

Fry: I bet Leelas waiting for a nice guy with one eye.
Bender: That'll take forever. What she should do is find a nice guy with two eyes, and poke one of them out.

Leela: Now strip naked and get on the probulator!

Captain Zapp Brannigan:
Kif, I have mated with a woman. Inform the men.

Prof:
Who are those horrible orange men over there?
Guide: Why they're the Grunca Luncas. They work here in the slurm factory.
Prof: Tell them I hate them!

You really can't help but love Futurama. I have not seen every episode (I never know when it is on) but luckily for me Pete is also a huge fan and has all the seaons. So I am slowly making my way through and I have the entire first season completed. Hands down the best episode is the "Slurm Factory" where Fry discovers that his favourite beer "Slurm" is actually slug excretment! ha ha ha ha. OMG!

Well, I think I could talk forever on Futurama but I will end it now...more quotes and pictures to come! Stay tuned!
