The hoodoos outside of Drumheller, Alberta are an interesting part of the Badlands. Hoodoos are scattered throughout the Drumheller valley. We were able to visit the official protected Hoodoos site, which is now designated as a Provincial Historic Resource. At this site, you are able to walk around the hoodoos without getting too close and causing damage […]
At one time, elk (wapiti) were found across North America, but now are mostly found in western North America. By the late 1800’s they were no longer in Ontario. However, in recent years, there have been shipments of elk from Elk Island National Park, Alberta, to areas in Ontario. The Bancroft North Hastings area received […]
We had the opportunity to visit the BC Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in Kamloops, B.C. in our travels last month. Their focus is on rehabilitating animals that are brought in to the centre – orphans and injured animals. They have some animals that have not been able to be rehabilitated and are there permanently. We found […]
We took a camping trip from Ontario through to Vancouver Island this fall. Over the next few weeks, I will be posting some of the pictures from this trip. Canada is a beautiful country, and driving across it gives you the opportunity to see God’s handiwork up close and personal. As we came home, the […]
We can be thankful to God for our families this Thanksgiving. I had the privilege of taking photos of this lovely family a couple of months ago. We did a photo shoot together a couple of years ago – they are a very easy family to work with, and it’s interesting to see the changes […]
It seems we’ve had a lot of stormy weather this summer. Although it isn’t our favourite type of weather, the clouds are amazing to look at and can be interesting to photograph. Sometimes when you are driving, you don’t know what the weather is going to do. These next two photos were taken in Renfrew, Ontario. […]
Balloon flowers, otherwise known as Chinese Bellflowers, are fascinating to watch. They originate in Asia, especially China, which is why one of their names is Chinese Bellflower. I have one small patch in my garden, and the patch is getting bigger each year. Sometimes they look purple, and sometimes they look more blue. They get […]
We have a lot of ducks around our lake, and I enjoy taking photos of them. They have become very habituated so that it’s easy to get up close enough to take photos. These are some of my favourites. This next photo was taken a few years ago. The mother duck and her ducklings were […]
We were getting our trailer ready for a camping trip, and saw this yellow “thing” on the step we use. I thought at first that it was some kind of cocoon, but when I looked at it closer, I could see that it almost looked like a caterpillar. However, it wasn’t quite like a caterpillar. […]
I decided to try photographing the moon again, and the night of the super moon in August seemed a great time to try doing this again. I downloaded an app that would tell me what time to expect the moon to rise. So … I went down to the lake, set up my tripod, and […]
