Swallow spotting

There are lots of swallows near where we live and I have always been curious in how well the Canon T1i works in capturing something small and fast.

Gudrun Tasting Room

Discovered this little restaurant in Steveston and was waiting for an opportunity to try it out. Gudrun Tasting Room is located in the Steveston Village, somewhat hidden but very trendy in what it offers.
