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. […]
We were visiting my father in Burk’s Falls a couple of weeks ago, and I was able to capture some photos of a robin feeding her young … or maybe it was the father feeding his young. The robin was quite curious about me taking pictures, but was not very nervous. She is used to […]
Cedar Waxwings are usually shy. We see them very rarely, and when we do, it is difficult to get good photos of them. They are usually peaking at you from behind leaves, like this one, or they fly away as soon as you look like you’re going their direction. I love their song. If you […]
Last year, in one of my blogs in September, I said that we don’t see baby loons on our lake. However, this year we have. I’m wondering if we aren’t seeing them when they are very little, but possibly we have seen them when they were bigger, and we didn’t realize they were this year’s […]
I was recently given a fragrant water lily (or white water lily) from my grandson, who picked it out of our lake. They float on our lake, and you see them in several areas. The leaves and the flowers float on the surface of the lake, and the roots reach down into the soil. Usually […]
