Day 108 - Playing catch up
I have really fallen back on both photography and posting. We've been having killer summer temperatures and humidity, and not having even a fan was not the kind of summer I want to be spending anymore. So, here are some photos from the last few days (umm.. or is it weeks?). I have not abandoned my Photo 365 project - I was on summer break! ;-)

Day 106 - Birthday breakfast
My son celebrated his fourteenth birthday yesterday. I prepared his favourite banana-filled crepe served with a blueberry sauce and whipped cream for breakfast.
Dinner was home-cooked Chinese food - Hot & Sour Chicken Soup, Fried Noodle with Chop Suey, Sichuan Shrimp and General Tso's Chicken. I didn't have time to photograph all of the dishes, but I did take a couple of the soup and the shrimp.

Day 104 - Lunch time!
Lacking energy and inspiration for photography, but not for food. I made this club sandwich with sliced hard-boiled egg, sliced shallots, tomatoes and cucumbers. Slapped on some mint chutney and a spicy ketchup to give it a twist. Accompanied by some spicy corn sticks, there was only one word for it - yum!
And the mug was a gift from a friend when I left Ottawa to come settle in Montreal two and a half years ago. I remember her each time I use it.

Day 103 - Forster's Tern
This was the first time I saw one of these. The tern was fishing and flying around for a bit before I realized it wasn't another seagull. When I finally prepared to take some shots, it decided to take itself elsewhere.
These cute little ducklings are most probably Gadwalls. It's difficult to tell by the females if they are Gadwalls or Mallards. The mother was a few feet away from these duckies, but I wasn't able to figure out the id.
