• I have many journals that sit on the shelf at home. They chronicle many aspects of my life. I love to look through them, enjoying the things I have written or the pictures there in. It is my hope that as you look through these pages, that you too will enjoy the things placed so lovingly here.
    It has been a journey that has seen me through many joys and a few heartaches. From the start of Crimson Chickadee and my growth as a person and as a photographer. From the realization that how many fans I have on my facebook page does not merit my worth, to the swelling in my heart as I hit publish to a post that I know will mean so much to the intended recipient.
    I hope you join me often, with a good cup of coffee, and enjoy these pages as much as I do creating them.

big kids steal the limelight…

It is time for hockey playoffs and provincials here in Alberta and if you know me I am not a hockey mom…I will do anything to avoid the hockey rink! Don’t get me wrong…I love watching my kids but I would much rather be at the racetrack than the rink. It makes sense…hockey = minus 20 weather and the racetrack = plus 20 weather.   I also  never take my camera with me.  I always feel I will leave the action shots to the sports photographers.   Last night I packed it up and took it to the opening ceremonies and the game that followed for the pee wee D provincials.  (provincials….that means a WHOLE weekend at the rink!!)  This game is actually game 2 for my kids, they played  their first game in the morning.

As we were driving home raceboy83 was looking through the pictures and we got to laughing and discussing the evening.  Then he gets quiet and scrolls through them again.

“Mom” he says “you sure do tell a story with your pictures…I don’t think you can help it. Do you know you do it?”

I shrugged and told him it is just part of my personality and it is what makes me the type of photographer that I am.  I forgot about it until this morning when I saw the camera sitting by the door.  I picked it up and looked at the pictures.  There was a very clear story there and I am going to share it with you…

This is raceboy83 clearly being a little brat!

This is raceboy83 suffering the consequences of his ‘bad behavior’ …on his way to the penalty box.

Here is where the real story starts…enter #14…raceboy83′s cousin Miss C.   They are like bread and butter.  If there is trouble you will find the two of them behind the scenes instigating it all and coming out smelling like roses…usually…but not tonight!  She is also on her way to the penalty box.

Caught red handed .  The two of them in the box together!!

Oh they make me laugh!  You can tell by the smirk on Miss C’s face that she has something really smart she wants to say…I can only imagine!  They are both actually good little hockey players.  For the first game raceboy83 won the mvp for his team and for the second game Miss C won it…here she is getting her award…

We are off to the rink for day…I need to get some pictures of raceboy82!
