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 […]
I recently did a post about loons, but thought I would add this. Last week, when we were staying in Canisbay, Algonquin Park, we saw something that was completely new to us. We’ve seen loons run along the water as they are taking off to fly, but this time it looked like two loons were […]
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. […]
One of my favourite things to do in the summer is to go out on the lake during the morning and try to capture photos of our loons. One of the best ways to do this is by going out in a canoe or kayak, which is quieter and not as threatening to the loons. Sometimes […]
On our lake, the yellow lilies bloom first, followed by the white water lilies. They dot the lake at both ends where it is a bit shallower. I like seeing them when I’m out in my kayak and often paddle through them. When I looked for information about the white water lily, I found that it […]
