capture every moment

By //  by  111 Comments

On the occasion of Canada’s 147th birthday, I’m pretty excited to kick-off this giveaway for a Nikon Coolpix S9600. For the month of June Staples Canada challenged me to participate in their #30DaysofSummer photo challenge on Instagram. I have to admit that looking through my pictures now, it’s been fun to watch the evolution of the season, from flowers first budding to kids playing in the pool and I’m inspired to keep going…to capture every moment!

Summer in Canada, after all, is brief. Especially this year, since we just came out of the worst winter in decades. That’s why Staples Canada also wants YOU to capture every moment with a new wi-fi enabled camera that makes it easy to take great shots and share them instantly on your favourite social network (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook)

    When the weather permits and the sun is beaming down on us relentlessly – SUPERSOAKER battles in our backyard and water balloons seems to be the adventure of choice each summer. Ultimately I love taking pictures of the aftermath – Husband/Son drenched and smiles from ear to ear. Nothing in life better than that. !

    I love capturing outdoors photos, especially when I am hiking with my friends and family. I also try to take photos at our annual fireworks festival, but those don’t turn out so well with my old camera. A new one would be great!

    I love to take pictures of my family. Headed to the East Coast in August, would be perfect for microblogging our trip 🙂

    I love taking pictures of people smiling in the summer because it goes to show how much we appreciate the weather and time spend with those we love.

    I love capturing everything! My kids and my garden are probably my #1 fav pictures to take in the summer.

    We spend a lot of summer at Highland Games since both girls dance. A new camera has definitely been on our “things to upgrade soon” list. Lol
