30 Days of Photographs IV: Happily ever after

September 30, 2013

Awww, it’s like a fairy tale of sorts.

Well, not really.

Today is the last day of the 30 Days of Photographs challenge, brought to you by Mike and Ziva. Now, let’s remember, I didn’t participate in all 30 days. I barely keep up with other photo challenges as it is and I’m like six months behind in processing my photos … so 30 days wasn’t going to happen.

Alas, I enjoyed the few days I did participate in.

And with the end of every challenge, there’s happiness. So happily ever after seems fitting for the final day. And, to be honest, I thought about this one a bit. I’ve decided, as I’ve done before with this one, to break the rules a little.

OK, so this isn’t really a photograph. But if you don’t hit play, it is a screen capture look — so it’s a photo on here. Kind of.

Whatever, sue me.

This was a happiness ever after thing on the final day of the cruise I recently took. It was a happy night for sure and a great way to end the cruise.

OK, fine … you don’t want me to break the rules that bad? Whatever.

Then let’s go back to the cruise itself. I dined in the steakhouse one night. A five-course meal. This was the final course.

Talk about a happily ever after story. Booya!

Yeah…

For the days I participated, I really did enjoy the challenge. It was fun and I got to see some great stuff. That’s always nice.

To see other’s who are participating in this challenge and did this day’s image, head over to Ziva’s Inferno to check it out!

Speaking of photo challenges…

For those of you participating in the monthly photo blogging challenge, remember September’s theme is done and the post should be up tomorrow. Come back to this blog to link up! I hope many of you participated as well.

If you need info on this month’s theme and the rules, click here.

I’ll also be posting October’s theme in two days.

    Oh my! That dessert looks amazing and the video is hilarious! I kept wanting to sing along. 😉 Thank you for participating when you had the time and opportunity, PJ. Your photos are always stunning, and I particularly loved the one of the fallen apples.. It was simply beautiful. I’ll be back tomorrow to participate in your photo challenge. 🙂

    I think the folks in the video are drunk or high, or both. And I don’t just like that photo of the cheesecake, I want to marry it and have babies with it. Dear god in heaven…

    Thank you for dropping in when you were able, P.J. I admire your photography and writing a great deal, and look forward to many more challenges with you.

      Nah, they are just happy as can be, Mike!

      It was a citrus cheesecake, too. Amazing. Might be the best cheesecake I ever had.

      I enjoyed the ones I could do in this challenge. And look forward to more in the future, even if part time! 😉

    Yummy dessert and photo! The desserts on cruises are amazing, especially in the dining room or the specialty restaurants. I love the entertainment in the dining room. It makes the experience special.

    But, even good things must come to an end. I’ve enjoyed seeing your photos and will check your October theme!

      I fully agree. The desserts are incredible. They had a sweet bar in the “food hall” area. Crazy. Sometimes, even more special stuff. I could have gorged on sweets for hours, but played it smart.

    There’s nowhere near enough chocolate on that dessert. Desserts should be largely chocolate in my opinion. Apart from that, it looks great!

      I’m not the biggest chocolate guy, so this was perfect for me. But they did, in the dining room, have a chocolate lava cake. I tried it one night. With a side of peanut butter (as suggested by a staff member) — so worth it.

      Only ever being on one cruise, I’d have to agree. So much to do. Then I walked around at night by myself to the empty ship. Quite serene, but sad, too.

How could we skip this? North of the border this How could we skip this? 

North of the border this weekend to get away and hit a few caching events and geocache. Dinner tonight was at @harpersburgers, especially with outdoor seating and dog friendly! @harper_dublin got to enjoy a little of my #burger, of course. And, yes, I got poutine, duh! Great service and great food! Went back later for a spiked shake. This one was a Malibu Colada (malibu rum, dark rum, vanilla ice cream, and pineapple juice) … yum! 

Good times! Looking forward to another event and caches on Saturday before heading home!

I think Harper approves. 

One more step and we'll be set to really enjoy it back there with some shade!

Working on a few other landscaping things, too.

As a @sunydelhi alum, and local, I still love walk As a @sunydelhi alum, and local, I still love walking around the campus. It’s especially nice in the morning when college isn’t in session as it’s quiet and @harper_dublin can sniff and explore her surroundings (if in session, she will want to stop and meet every student etc.). I know a lot of people local walk the campus, and it’s really nice that we have something like this in our community to be able to do so.

A video looking at my first year and a half of owning a golden retriever, my first dog. It's had its ups and downs, but I've truly loved the ride and look forward to the future.

I hate being in front of the camera, but also realize sometimes it's not the worst thing in the world. So, I'm getting better with it. Week 4's theme was all about us and having us in front of the camera, so I tried to come up with a creative way to do it.
