Pictorial: Sasha, (almost) 7 Months

My gorgeous, wonderful and insane kitten. This cat packs a lot of personality in to a tiny body.

Streeeeeeeetch! She likes her kitty condo to nap on, but much prefers my bed or sitting on my laptop.

She's grown quite a bit in the past two months. She was so little! Aw!
 
 
 

Trans-Canada Roadtrip '13: Pics Part 3 (Ontario)

Considering I spent 14 hours a day in a car, it seems appropriate that most of my photos were taken from, well ... inside of a car.
Fort Mckay at Fort William First Nation, near Thunder Bay, Ontario.
 
The view from Mount McKay on Fort William First Nation. The reserve is located just outside of Thunder Bay. Mount McKay is sacred to the local band.
 
Thunder Bay, Ontario.
 
A terrible photo of a beautiful waterfall.
 
The view along this stretch of road is beautiful. One of the most scenic parts of the Trans Canada highway.

 
The roads are dangerous, but fun. They twist, and like to taunt you with their blind curves and near-constant construction work, leaving entire sections of the highway in rubble. As an added bonus, there's the sport of Motorized Dodge Ball, required of all drivers across the northwestern Ontario Region. The basic premise of the game is this: you drive, and wild animals will try to hurl themselves at your car. You dodge, lest they hit. A lot like that elementary school game we all used to play, no? This particular stretch of road was responsible for a fatal moose crash which shut down the highway for an entire afternoon. (And yup, it's another photo of the Trans-Canada.)

 
I'm an Eastern girl, born and raised. After living in a different time zone for the past few years, it's always a monumental occasion to cross over into the time zone I associate with home, the East Coast. I felt like this sign did a noble job at marking the occasion.
