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)
