Going to visit the fiancee's family again this Saturday. Two weeks in China. Apparently, we'll be doing some travelling to some national parks or something of the sort. We've been shopping like mad for gifts for her parents and uncles, as well as for her cousin's wedding we're going to. While out shopping (8 hours of walking in downtown Toronto on NO sleep, ouch), I ended up getting a new camera bag. My current one is a tad too small for my full day kit (Nikon D40, Sigma 18-200 OS, Sigma 10-20, Sigma 30mm, Nikon SL-400 flash) and accessories. I absolutely love Crumpler bags. I originally bought a 2-Million Dollar Home which fits the camera

Some are posed, some not. Some are meticulously planned, some not. However, they all find beauty in a place or a situation or in a way that others might have walked past without a second thought. A lesser artist may have simply missed them or dismissed them as boring, ugly or plain. Just ask yourself: Would you have seen the beauty here? :thumb94243314::thumb102583682: :thumb105917074::thumb87621525: :thumb103418510::thumb99912263: :thumb102004800::thumb79962562: :thumb99961914::thumb103502623: :thumb90543271::thumb101918815: :thumb103437021::thumb101471698: :thumb104215202::thumb101284497: :thumb103031810::thumb106161489: :thumb10

Yesterday, I asked my girlfriend of three years, Maggie, to marry me! She said yes! Well, not at first. We were on top of a ski hill, and when I pulled the ring out she thought I had found it in the snow and that I should return it to lost & found. I had to convince her for a few seconds that it really was hers. The wedding is at least a year off, and will require planning with my entire family in Canada and hers in China, plus both of us employed full time as engineers. Should be tough, but rewarding.
