Happy Birthday, Amy!

It's Amy's birthday! Happy Birthday, Amy!

Nothing has changed with her in regards to being assessed by Toronto for a lung transplant. It seems that since she remains stable, no one is in a hurry for her to be on the wait list.

In the meantime, she has started a new hobby, photography! After talking about it for ages, she started by buying a cell phone camera kit (it goes on your phone case and enhances the pictures). It didn't take long before she had decided to move up to a DSLR camera. And now most of our conversations are about photo angles, photo editing programs, and the best spots around to take night sky pictures.
A lonely lighthouse on the cliffs

Last weekend, we did a PEI road trip so she could take pictures on the island. We went to random coves on the east coast that we had never visited before and some cliffs around Cavendish. We have spent quite a bit of time on PEI but this trip got us out of the 'usual' spots and we found some new fun places. Unfortunately it was cloudy overnight so we didn't get any lighthouse night sky pictures but it did mean that we got to sleep.

We also did a photo shoot at Bothwell beach because why not.
This is such a good hobby because it's active (while lugging around the camera and lenses) but also can be sedentary while sorting and editing pictures. And also, I benefit because now I have access to a ton of beautiful night sky pictures that would look great framed on my wall!
