This little guy was four months old when these pictures were taken. I am still working on learning to use my 50 mm lens. I think one of the hardest things with it is making sure you have enough room to back up from the subject to get your picture.We were able to use natural […]
When we drove into Canisbay Provincial Park in Algonquin, I felt like we were being immersed in a sea of colour. We had camped there in August with our family, and it was beautiful, but going in October meant that we were seeing it at its peak. The colours (yellows, oranges, and some reds) were […]
When we were in Algonquin a couple of weeks ago, we were able to go out on Canisbay Lake when the water was very calm. The clouds were gorgeous and because the water was so calm, it was like a mirror. At times, when the conditions are like this and you are out in a […]
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 […]
I had the opportunity to take some maternity photos recently. It was a good challenge, and I enjoyed doing it. I took most of the photos with my 50 mm as I’m still working on learning how to use it properly. I’ve certainly used the zoom feature … ha, ha … you need to use […]
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 […]
Throughout the summer, I took several pictures of the different flowers in our yard. God has given us a wide variety of flowers, and these are just some of them. All of these are fairly common flowers, but look at the beauty in them. Tiger Lily in my father’s yard Peony Shasta Daisy Pansy Tulip […]
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 […]
I believe this is a Great Spangled Fritillary butterfly. They are located in southern Canada and in the United States. It was flying in and around the flowers in my backyard. God has made everything beautiful in its time. ~ Ecclesiastes 3:11 ~
I heard what I thought was a hummingbird in my garden, but it wasn’t big enough to be one. Instead it was a hummingbird moth. They are interesting to watch as they flit around from flower to flower. However, I found it very difficult to take a sharp photo of it because of its speed. […]
