Alpacas … we have a farm just a few kilometres from us, but we haven’t been able to see the alpacas up close. When we were travelling in Prince Edward Island, we stopped at an Alpaca farm – Green Gable Alpacas . Her website provides a lot of information about alpacas and their fiber. Janet, the […]
When we were in the Atlantic provinces recently, I enjoyed taking photos of scenery. It was great seeing and enjoying God’s handiwork. My computer is full of these pictures and I am enjoying going through them. I also enjoyed taking photographs of smaller details in flowers, rose hips, and apples. As I was going through my photos […]
Sunflowers … bright and cheery. I really enjoy seeing a field of sunflowers. The following pictures were not taken in a field, but in the gardens at the Glass Bottle Houses at Cap Egmont in Prince Edward Island. I was fascinated with many of the flowers there and especially with the sunflowers. They not only […]
When we were at Perce, Quebec in August, we took a boat ride to Bonaventure Island and walked across the island to where the gannets nest. I could have spent all day there, but was glad to be there for the short time we managed. It’s really something to see so many birds in one […]

Apparently, Perce Rock stands 85 metres high, 90 meters wide, and is 430 meters long. It takes awhile to go around it in a boat, and when […]
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. […]
I had the privilege of photographing a young family a few weeks ago. They were very cooperative and easy to work with. Any issues were with my lack of knowledge of my camera and thinking of how I could have them pose. Before I met with them, I checked several places on the internet for […]
In late August, we were out on Redstone Lake, Haliburton County, Ontario and came across a bird we didn’t recognize at first. When we got closer and watched it for awhile, we could tell that it was a young loon. It tipped its head back in a typical loon fashion, which helped to confirm it […]
During August we see more spider webs in our area. This may be because we have a heavier dew and the dew makes the webs show up better. The webs that spiders weave are amazing and so intricate. The pine trees at our neighbours have all kinds of webs on them. In the morning sun […]
What is the camera like on the iPhone and SmartPhones? I’ve had the opportunity to use an iPhone 4, and now have an HTC Raider. Each of these has a front facing and rear facing camera. The front facing camera is an 8 mp on both of these and have similar features. Can they take […]
