I have returned from my trip–I’ve actually been back for almost a week now–and today I’ve decided not to be lazy and chose a few photos to post of the chalet. We were to go blueberry picking, but I ended up taking more photos than I did of blueberries =P Nevertheless our host was especially hospitable and let us gorge on blueberries despite being lazy, AND even made us a blueberry pie. It was delicious. I would have taken a photo but I was too busy stuffing my face =)

I’d forgotten to include a photo of the blueberries the last time I visited, so here it is:

They had gotten ripe since the last time I visited as well as the raspberries.

Going for a walk in a field behind the chalet.

I went through my sketchbook looking for some post-worthy pieces and only seemed to come up with one. Fortunately I am the type of creep who enjoys observing people while they sleep and Phil was conveniently snoozing comfortably on the couch making it an optimal time for me to scribble away with only minor setbacks such as the occasional tossing and turning. I hadn’t used conte for quite a while let alone sepia toned conte and it was the only thing I could grab off-hand that would make the process quick and slightly less painful than using pencil. A little rust around the edges but he seemed to be content with it =D

I plan on turning this somewhat into a photo blog and making a note to take at least 1 photo a day to post, so here are some photos taken today…

the sun setting after the rain

there seems to have been a lot of rainbows lately; sadly no lucky charms nor pots of gold.

As promised, the chosen photos that were taken during my stay in Quebec City are now posted in chronological order =)

(at my boyfriends’ family chalet)

The dock where no fish were caught…

Flowers galore!

There were a lot of these avian creatures…

Someone was unlucky.

There were no bears.

Now entering…

Just as it started raining.

Can’t remember the last time I’ve seen one of these.

Clearing up…

On our way up to the fort. It was long–very long, and wet. I did not get to sit in one of these…

At the top of the fort (my battery was dying by then).

The man in the hat was playing the harmonica under the bridge; quite talented. We threw some change as payment for taking a blurry photo of him to exploit on this website.

Getting dark–still rainy.

In addition to the rain, the fountain was squirting water onto my lens…it took a while to get this shot.

The night dying down as did my camera.
