This week I had the chance to work with water drops and milk drops. I still used the plastic bag with the small hole to make the drops. Some of them were into a pan of water while others were into a champagne glass (filled to the top).Working with milk is different, especially for the […]
We enjoyed a very colourful fall here in Haliburton County and around us. The colours were vibrant, and it was a challenge to photograph them the way we were seeing them. I still find taking landscape pictures (i.e. scenery) challenging, but rewarding. These were taken over a two week span as we travelled in Haliburton […]
Alpacas … we have a farm just a few kilometres from us, but we haven’t been able to see the alpacas up close. When we were travelling in Prince Edward Island, we stopped at an Alpaca farm – Green Gable Alpacas . Her website provides a lot of information about alpacas and their fiber. Janet, the […]
When we were in the Atlantic provinces recently, I enjoyed taking photos of scenery. It was great seeing and enjoying God’s handiwork. My computer is full of these pictures and I am enjoying going through them. I also enjoyed taking photographs of smaller details in flowers, rose hips, and apples. As I was going through my photos […]
Sunflowers … bright and cheery. I really enjoy seeing a field of sunflowers. The following pictures were not taken in a field, but in the gardens at the Glass Bottle Houses at Cap Egmont in Prince Edward Island. I was fascinated with many of the flowers there and especially with the sunflowers. They not only […]
When we were at Perce, Quebec in August, we took a boat ride to Bonaventure Island and walked across the island to where the gannets nest. I could have spent all day there, but was glad to be there for the short time we managed. It’s really something to see so many birds in one […]
When we were at Perce, Quebec, we camped where we could see Perce Rock. Perce Rock is one of Canada’s seven “natural wonders”. It is probably the result of glaciers. Apparently, Perce Rock stands 85 metres high, 90 meters wide, and is 430 meters long. It takes awhile to go around it in a boat, and when […]
In late August to late September this year, we took a camping trip around the Atlantic provinces. This was an enjoyable experience and it gave us the chance to see more of God’s creation. I had the chance to photograph areas that I’d never photographed before. It was challenging to figure out what pictures to take. […]
I had the privilege of photographing a young family a few weeks ago. They were very cooperative and easy to work with. Any issues were with my lack of knowledge of my camera and thinking of how I could have them pose. Before I met with them, I checked several places on the internet for […]
In late August, we were out on Redstone Lake, Haliburton County, Ontario and came across a bird we didn’t recognize at first. When we got closer and watched it for awhile, we could tell that it was a young loon. It tipped its head back in a typical loon fashion, which helped to confirm it […]
