We recently purchased a couple of kayaks, and are learning how to use them. It is beautiful out on the water, especially when the water is calm and fog is lifting in the morning. It really gives you a chance to enjoy God’s handiwork. We’ve found that we can get much closer to loons, and […]
We were on a camping trip in Algonquin Park, and went on a hike around Peck Lake. Peck Lake is small, and you are able to walk all around it. This is an excellent hike if you have young children. When you are on a hike like this, you can take landscape photos, but it […]
We really enjoyed the scenery while we were down at Point Pelee and I thought I’d share some of the spots with you. We camped at Sturgeon Woods Campground near Leamington, which is where the first picture was taken. We were able to watch the fish jumping as the sun was going down. Beautiful time […]
I was going to post some scenery pictures from Point Pelee this week, but as I was going through my pictures, I saw some that I had taken of some birders and thought that I would put them up this week, and the scenery next week.Sometimes it got a bit crowded when we were going […]
About a week ago, we had the opportunity to go to Point Pelee, Ontario, to see some of the bird migration. We had never been there before, and enjoyed the trip to the Leamington area. The weather was great when we were there, and we weren’t bothered by bugs. The birding festival was on and there […]
Last week we went to Minden, Ontario to look at the flooding there. While we were in the area, we went to the Gull River where the rapids are. The water was quite high as you can see in the two pictures below. You can usually walk beside the river and sit on the bench. […]
Lately we’ve had a lot of fog because of the warmer conditions and the cold snow and ice. There are times when it is beautiful to see and other times when the fog makes things dangerous, especially when you are driving or out on a lake on a snowmobile. Our lake has water all over […]
Post-processing is important and is not “cheating”. Film photographers/developers (i.e. Ansel Adams) adjusted light and dark on their photos, and it is much easier for us to do this in digital photography. Many of the photo programs allow adjustments to be made. Part of photographing is learning to do the post processing too.I am learning […]
I think some of the most fascinating aspects of Prince Edward Island are the red soil and the beaches. We were able to see these in many areas. Apparently the soil is red due to the heavy concentration of iron oxides in the rock and soil. It is very striking and draws a lot of people […]
We enjoyed many sunsets when we were on our trip east, and they were all special. These were taken at the Confederation Bridge in Prince Edward Island. We were camped a few kilometres away, and saw that the sunset was going to be a good one, so quickly got into the truck to see what […]
