We visited Lake Louise several years ago (2003), but didn’t have much time to walk around the lake. We had accidentally locked our keys in our van and had to wait for CAA to help us. This made our time there very short, so I was hoping to have more time last year (2014) when […]
Maligne Lake is set in a beautiful area. When we walked beside the lake and enjoyed the view , we found out that what we were seeing is only a small part of the lake. You can go on a one-and-a-half hour boat tour to see much more. This would be a lovely trip to take […]
This spring we had the opportunity to camp in Bon Echo Provincial Park, where they have some high cliffs, and you can see some petroglyphs from years ago. We actually didn’t see very many of the petroglyphs, but we enjoyed seeing the cliffs and getting up close to them. It’s a beautiful park to visit. […]
At this time of year, we get to enjoy fog on the lake in the mornings. It provides some interesting scenery, and everything seems so much quieter around the lake. Even the duck is usually quiet at this time … until it notices us, and decides it would like some food. Then it squawks for […]
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 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 […]
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. […]
During most evenings in the summer, we take the boat for a trip around the lake. I like this time of year. The view is very interesting as the clouds and sunsets are always different. We never know quite how it will look when we head out. It’s a very relaxing time and a great […]
Across the road from our place is a lake … so we often think of it as our front yard. We are able to do so many things there … boating … tubing … canoing … swimming … campfires … stargazing … walks on the ice … skating … and the list goes on. The view is different each […]
