^ Love surfing! My aunt lived in Hawaii for a few years, so I always found excuses to visit!

Fall is coming! It's been getting so cool at night and early mornings! Can wear warmer stuff again!

Toys McCoy sweatshirt - my oldest & favorite. Getting borderline indecent with all the shrinking over the years!

Mister Freedom

Service boots. I just cleaned them but now I have to re-dub them for winter.

I guess I have to do some weeding too

^ I saw that on the news Made the Vancouver riot look like a walk in the park. So sad - I hope not many were injured.

Continuing along - one of my favourite buildings - the National Gallery of Canada. The place to go to get your art fix. It's had a number of controversial exhibits - including one artist's creation - made of raw meat - for which the Gallery paid an obscene amount of money! For obvious reasons, it wasn't displayed very long

I wonder if that's where Lady Gaga got her idea!

Modern architecture switches over to the old as you approach the Parliament buildings - Canada's seat of government. The detail work is really amazing.

The clock tower - swarming with tourists! The fireworks & crowds are astonishing here on Canada Day - next year I'll be prepared to take some shots!

Since I'm practicing my photo skills, here are the obligatory flower shots! I love shallow depth of field!

By the time I got home, I was hot & thirsty, so I headed over to my neighbour's place, and we had a beer while we chilled with his 3 month old shiba imu puppy! So cute!!!

Cute kids beatle!!

I've long admired this thread - such awesome stuff. I finally have a decent cam to shoot with… My dad "perma-loaned" me his T2i/50mm combo! My mom thinks it's a ploy to upgrade his toys and I think she's right!!

At any rate, I've also been taking some photo courses, so any feedback & suggestions would be most welcome!

I've been living in Ottawa since January & have hardly seen any of the area because of work! So finally, this weekend, I took a bit of a tour - thought I'd share!

A colleague suggested taking a drive along Aviation Parkway, which is a really nice scenic route that takes you past a lot of the Ottawa-area sites of interest.

First stop was at the aviation museum - lots of cool old planes, and even helicopter rides for the fat of wallet!

Continuing along the Parkway, there are numerous little scenic lookout areas where you can pull over & take in the sights.

Here's the Ottawa river, with the province of Quebec on the other side.

The marina below was busy on such a sunny day, and lots of people were out enjoying the water.

The bridge to Hull, Quebec. Party town! It's where you go when things close for the night in Ottawa!

Hee Hee I wish! . Boy, there would be some major closet raiding going on

Love the denim/duck combo!!

Max & BF - you look like you're having so much fun!! Great fits with each others jeans too!

Flathead tee, IH jeans, Duluth Trading boots ( got the idea after seeing Ranon's pair!)

Hi everyone! Mega - that shirt looks awesome. Seul - amazing jacket!

So I braved the heat in my IH's today & was pleasantly surprised at how comfy they are!

Today - bad hair (in a ponytail), bad face, yech - needed major pixelation!!! Hope the clothes are better!

What a wonderful page!! Sansome - those are the jeans you found, right? Amazing!!! Riff - what gear are you using? Great pics in the wayjdt thread!!

Today - bad hair (in a ponytail), bad face, yech. Hope the clothes are better!

The shirt is by Flathead, jeans are IH, and I got the shoes a couple of years ago, but only just started breaking them in! They're by Danner Japan.

What an amazing bunch of posts from all of you! Riff's photo's, Paul's NY adventure, TG's gorgeous trips, This Sunday's cultural expeditions - wow!

But I still have the picture of Robbie with his cat in my head.... People at work were wondering why I would break into giggles for seemingly no reason! The expression on that cat's face...

Ok it's official - this thread is a threat to my finances

Thank you all for the kind words, rep and encouragement of my photography!

I've created a new avatar for myself because of this common addiction we share - hope you like it

First post here

Thrifted hat & dress, new vans, a bag filled with more bags for grocery shopping!

Dkatz, very cool! I'm surprised you don't have bug spray tho!

Hey guys! It's been forever! I have so much catching up to do here - am planning on settling down on the sofa for a good read thru this thread - have to find out the latest & greatest!

My EDC has changed a bit... *Still carrying the same blade. But I'm trying out a smaller cardcase/wallet - really like Tanner goods! I also picked up a Redmoon key case thingie, and it's holding my keys, chapstick and my mini CR2!

I really like big watches, and got this: my new-to-me Oris chrono *dive watch! Will have to do until I can afford a sub!

This isn't something I carry with me, but I now keep it in the car at all time, so I thought you might find it interesting.

It's a Benchmade ERT1 - great little emergency escape tool, with seatbelt cutter, small light, and a carbide glass breaker. I guess I've been watching too many bad movies haha!

Hope you're all well! Much <3!

This thread makes me happy! Always something awesome going on!

For Mike - as promised!

I'm going to try & put what I've learned in photo class to good use! Always admired the kind of shots eltopo posts of his stuff - well, I can dream, can't I??

Going to have to get this repaired!

And a bonus shot - just because it's summer & I discovered these little guys on my window-sill!

^ My MF's are actually a 30 ( albeit a bit loose). I'm pretty sure I could make anything from a 28 to 32 work by varying wash temperature & intensity...

So how about them missing contestants???

As a long-time lurker, I just had to come out of hiding to tell you what a fabulous & entertaining thread this is!! Thank you!!

Oh... And if there's anyone of you out there with a RxC sizing challenge, I'd love to step in!

Thanks everyone for all the compliments and rep!

ThisSunday, I wish I could take credit but a friend took that photo for me. I need to step up my photo game to post more - all you guys have such great pics. I guess I also need to get out of the office more too

Demonito, I'm not skinny!!! I'm ....... Athletic

Much <3!

Those Calis look sooo nice!

I thought I would cross post here - MF day for me today! A big thanks to nottootight for the shirt!

And a terrible photo of my cigar cat's paw Indy's (I need to get more boots!!!)

It's been a while - again!

Tiger - love that shirt!!

Here's me today

Thanks for the shirt nottootight!!!

I really envy anyone who has the ihsh 10..

Me too!!

Say hello to your brother , Chicarito , for me.

Alas no - I'm of swedish stock going way back . But he is fun to watch no?

Thanks again guys! I can't wear jeans everyday so these have only had a few days wear - lots of settling to come I expect!

^^^^what size did you get ?

Hey Chambo - my 634S are size 30, and relaxed, but with these I went for a 31 - nervous about that tight top block. I hope they will stretch!!

Thanks for all the really nice comments & reps! You guys are great!

Fit looking good sweapea...i'd hem them a little if i were you

I definitely need to hem, though knowing myself I'll be saying the same thing a few years down the road!

GREAT FIT,GREAT ASS
