Yesterday was awesome! I got invited to my friend Mario’s house for “lunch” they said. See my friend Mario had two cousins over visiting him from Croatia and on the long weekend they organized this little “BIG” barbecue where they roasted a little pig and a lamb over hot coals.

I went there around 3pm, but the fun started a little earlier, as I got to find out from Mario’s dad, who when I was asking him about the lamb I saw there broiling, let me know that they already had a little pig.

I then joined Mario and one of his other cousins’s kid “little” Stefan, on the trampoline. We enjoyed some good food, some good fitness and then Mario’s other cousin Sasha showed me their Jeep Liberty that they bought used and mostly broken for cheap and then rebuilt it and let me tell you it looks AWESOME!

I also got a chance to get some awesome portraits of the little Stefan.

Ladies and gentlemen let me introduce to you David and Katrina. I met this lovely couple last summer as they let me know about their intentions to get married as well as having me as their wedding photographer. Half an hour talking and a Starbucks coffee later, we found ourselves in one of Kitchener’s scenic spots taking their engagement session images.

As I got to know them I also learned their love story. How David, for the very first time, beheld the love of his life through a Tim Hortons drive-through window and later on how they first spent time together and eventually realised that spending their lives apart would no longer leave them content.

Here’s two panorama shots I took during the photo session. Yes I know, ?Panoramas? but I couldn’t help it, I just had to:

Went today on a little stroll through Victoria Park . It was nicely overcast and I got to (FINALLY!) take some naturey shots again. Missed shooting green grass and trees and flowers. Here’s a sample:

I also met this lady with a nice little 22 year old parrot. Here’s a shot of them:

So tonight I drove out to pick dad up from work at 12:15am and I had the radio on in the car. It was playing 109.2, a Hamilton station with the Delilah late night show playing. Haha here’s some advertising, go to http://delilah.com to see her page.

Anyway so as this Three Doors Down song that I like a lot ended and I was somewhere on *checks google maps* HWY 7 West heading down the Homer Watson Boulevard exit, there’s this middle aged man calling in to her show. He had recently had an epiphany. It suddenly occured to him how important friendship is and how few of the people he knows he can really call his friends, and most of all, how glad he is about the ones that he can truly call his true friends. So he wanted her to play this song that he didn’t know who sings it, but the title was “I can only imagine”.

Even though all in all it’s a nice story, I only really got what he meant when listening to the song. True and straight to the heart as only country music can be, this song expresses pretty accurately the sense of awe of just about any man at the moment of realization about the divine. Enjoy!
