All of these were taken during our camping escapade at Ojibway Provincial Park a couple of weeks ago, beautiful light when the sun gets low. Those are Canada Geese basking in the glow.
By the time I came into a clearing and saw that beautifully red, setting sun it was all but over and too...
… too fluffy an ad for Goodyear Tires?
I’m really enjoying the colour in these pseudo-Cone Flowers, new to my yard this year. Quick shot with the last of the evening’s light, at 50mm.
Blueberry Bert is back and on-hand for Opening Day of our annual 10-day Blueberry Festival. Highlights for me were the Scottish Pipes performance and the fun Pie-Eating Contest, blueberry pie of course. Best of all was watching my three grandchildren enjoying being together again for the month of August.
A brief history of the Blueberry Festival and...
Long time since I’ve taken any kind of landscape; these were quick shots, late afternoon at my niece’s home on Sturgeon Lake. Three shots later I was running for the shelter of my car to escape the down-pour.
Only minutes earlier, this was the scene; what a difference clouds make…
… sunflower seeds help as well. Isn’t this Chipmunk just a cutie, look at how tiny his “hands” are! He’s one of four new little ones that we’re enjoying in our yard this year.
For some reason he also reminds me of a wise little gnome – I hate Gnomes!
My granddaughter, Kelsie, graciously agreed to help me out by sitting for some tedious camera practice. We got some nice portraits but I knew the session was taking too long when…

It WAS OVER when an approaching mosquito was mistaken...
My daughter’s family dog, Mylo. I think the simplicity of B&W expresses his gentle nature better than the colour version does.
I have been focusing on portraits this month and photographing little else. Nothing worthy of posting as yet; it is difficult to find models to practice with which makes for a slow learning process. My grandchildren have...
I ran for my camera when I noticed the Irises beginning to bloom. As I snapped along, I thought of my mom as I always do; many years ago after a visit in Thunder Bay, I dragged home a large clump of these Irises from her yard and they have graced my yard since, ever...
We’ve had an early warm Spring with all my trees in full bloom this year. I took some time over the last couple of weeks to photo a few examples before the wind and rain took them all away last week.
My favourite, the Artificial Crabapple tree. Beautiful blossoms but you cannot eat the fruit that follows. A...
The main event at the Dryden Air Show was The Canadian Forces Snowbirds Jet Demonstration Team. They put on an excellent show as they are known to do, having highly skilled pilots and technicians along with superior standards.
I’ll have to chalk up this part of the photography to a great learning experience, I failed to...
Last Saturday we attended Dryden’s Centennial Air Show, about an hour from home. It’s been years since we enjoyed an air show and this was my first experience with a camera in hand. I learned tons about what not to do the next time in terms of photography, however it will likely be years before another show comes our way...
Lensbaby plus a +10 Macro accessory
One from the May Photowalk Theme List for a change… it’s the back of an old barn, taken while we were in Barrie. I thought the padlock on the door was cute…
EF-S 17-55 2.8 lens @ 51mm – f.8, 1/30s, ISO 200
Lots of blue tones in these and I decided to ramp up the vibrance and...
