Niagara Falls on film

I finally got my film developed from the weekend Elycia and I met up in Niagara falls. I looked like a genuine tourist with two cameras dangling around my neck everywhere we went but that's okay! I really can't decide which I like to shoot with more, film or digital. Digital is great because I like bright, crisp photos I can see instantly. But film photos always remind me of photos of vacations from childhood. I like not really knowing what I shot until I get the film back and the way the photos feel always makes me nostalgic even if they were shot recently.
You can find my little recap of the weekend here

It's kind of funny how we visited Niagara falls but I barely took any pictures of the falls themselves. I'm not sure what that's all about, but I'll blame it on the falls not being very photogenic from any of the places we stopped to look at them.

I think the thing I miss most about that weekend (other than Elycia, obviously!) is Indian food. I'm officially ready to go on another mini-vacation!

All of the photos above were taken with a pentax k1000 and Fuji 35mm Superia X-TRA 800.

a Fab wishlist...

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Today I'm partnering up with Fab to share some goodies I'm dreaming of (a kind of birthday wishlist, I mean August 2nd is sneaking up quickly.) This list is perhaps a bit less cohesive than I'd like but Fab is like a magical treasure trove of awesome things. There is always so much to discover. I could easily spend hours browsing and still be finding neat things I've never seen before. Currently I'm really coveting that rug and this wearable planter. pictured below. The rug would look excellent in my craft room and despite the fact I already own a blue wearable planter I've been seriously considering snatching up one in another color.
Hope you have a fabulous Tuesday!

It's the little things...

like spending the evening blowing bubbles for your kitties!
Leaf, clearly, is the one most into bubbles. Squid is too much of a princess to be bothered with such childish things. Doctor Octopus is apprehensive of the bubbles, it's kind of the cutest thing ever. Professor Stingray was entertained for a little while but Leaf couldn't get enough. It was so much fun watching him bat at them, meow at them and be surprised every time one would pop.

If you've never blown bubbles for your cat (or dog!) I suggest you do so very soon. I've even seen catnip bubbles at the pet store. My cats didn't like those any more than regular bubbles but still!

I'll leave you with this...
Hope you have a lovely Tuesday!
xoxo
