Poppies are fascinating. I don’t have any in my garden, so I love seeing them grow in other peoples’ gardens. My sister and I went for a walk around Burk’s Falls and enjoyed seeing the poppies in different yards. They are beautiful with their thin papery petals.
Often when we take photos of our children, we think we need to be have them pose and say “cheese”. This does not always work out well, as the pictures don’t always look natural. It’s best to take photos of them doing things when they aren’t aware of the camera. If you can set them […]
I’m so glad we see birds in their migration paths. We went to Point Pelee last year and saw some, but I think it’s even nicer to see the birds here. One thing you don’t have to deal with is the crowds. The challenge is to identify these little birds as they travel through. The […]
The lupines are coming up in our back garden … many in places I don’t want them. But that’s okay. I found it fascinating to see them after the rain. Most of them had raindrops still on them, and right in the middle of them. The raindrops almost look like jewels. Worship Himwho made the heavens, […]
We’ve had some interesting birds going through on their migration to the north. This one is a yellow-rumped warbler (Myrtle – eastern). They don’t stay in place for very long as they are catching insects, so it is difficult to get a good clear picture of them. We had a small flock of them in […]
It is definitely looking like spring here now. The snow is gone, and the ice is out of the lake. When I was going through my photos, I saw some that I had taken of the sap being collected in buckets up behind our house. I’m not sure how good the season was in this […]
We have had the privilege of having American Tree Sparrows in our yard. They are interesting to watch. They have a rusty cap on their heads, and have a streaked brown back. Their breast is a smooth gray and they have a dark smudge in the centre of the breast. They are smaller than the […]
We’ve had a visitor in our yard for the last few days. We didn’t recognize the bird, so I contacted one of my expert friends who identified it for us. He said it is a fox sparrow, and apparently it only shows up in our area for a few weeks in the spring and fall […]
I’ve been experimenting with “small planet” pictures. This is a picture of our lake. We went out into the middle of the lake, and I took photos while I turned around, and eventually had a 360 degree view of our lake. Then I used Photoshop Elements to put them together as a panorama, and then […]
I’m still having some difficulty with my website – www.bettymoorephotography.ca Please be patient – I will get it working soon. It doesn’t seem to be sending emails out with updates. A few weeks ago I posted some pictures of different butterflies that I was able to take when we were at the Butterfly Conservatory in […]
