I never realized my nose went crooked like this.

This is what happens when I get up early in the morning after only about 5 hours sleep! I had just finished my brekkie of cereal (and not crunchy granola either, just some softish stuff) and was running my tongue around my mouth when the filling came off.

Now, those of you that know me, realise that my dad was a dentist. Those that know me really well realise that I have had perfect teeth up until 28 or so when I got some pits in the enamel that dad decided should be covered so they wouldn't cause a problem - and they haven't.

 

The year dad passed away (Sep 1996), just before Christmas, I chipped this tooth. Of course, this event was rather traumatic as I had only ever had work done by my dad and had never had to pay for anything. The following year, I chipped the one beside it, then later in the year I lost the filling on this one. It is an awkard-ass place to put a filling. Gladly, it doesn't need freezing as no root is exposed.

I love living in Canada and am very grateful that we have medical coverage. Sadly we don't have dental coverage. I am however, on a plan (finally) that does provide me with limited dental and can get this fixed. I have an appointment in two weeks (haha, on dad's birthday), so, excuse me I have to go find an emery board to smooth the rough edges that I am already worrying with my tongue.

Then I think I will go back to bed and try starting today over again.

More from Elk Island

 A few geese, they were on both sides of the road and had about 6 vehicles stopped to look at them. The babies are so cute!

 A shower head to get the sand & lake off.

 Canoe - in case you couldn't tell ;)

Just another shot while we were stopped.

Thanks for looking.

Elk Island Day trip

 Well, more of an afternoon trip.

We saw Alberta Roses in bloom,

 

 and pretty white flowers.

 

Pretty butterflies!

2 of the only 4 Bison we saw.

and now a spot on my lens.

I'll be back with more in a few days.

Thanks for looking.

Flowers & Thumper

 

I decided that a fuchsia would look nice in my hanging basket this year. It was as I was planting it that I noticed it was called "Upright" something. Go me!

  

Some lobelia will trail over the sides though :)

 

This white begonia came with this pink attached - bonus!

 

 I think this is the flax I planted last year (seeds) - supposed to be an annual and I think I weeded it out last year. (shakes head)

 

 Another one I weeded out last year - columbine - another annual!

  

And finally Thumper, hiding under my lily after I watered him behind the flax and bleeding heart. I was sure he wouldn't be back after I sprayed him with the jet setting on my watering nozzle a couple of days ago.

Thanks for looking.

Rainy Sunrise

Sunrise this morning, while it is still raining out there.  I realized I have not posted here for about a year and as I am shutting down the other blog, I guess I had better remedy that. I will be posting photos taken over the last year or so that I just haven't processed for one reason or another.

Thanks for looking.

P.S. I was able to capture a sunrise in June due to insomnia.

Panoramic Clouds

My new camera takes panoramic photos. You just 'sweep' the camera along and it stitches shots together right in the camera. The second one, I let go of the button before I hit the end.

Thanks for looking.

These were taken way back at the beginning of September.

Thanks for looking.
