Winter’s Mid-day Light
I had several errands to run today, and one of them took me up to the town of Mono. I decided to go for a short hike at Splitrock Loop Trail since it was just up the road from one of my stops. If you've read my other post, How Things Can Change in 4...
A Walk in the Park
I met my friend Nigel for a walk at Claireville Conservation Area this afternoon. Mostly we were out for a walk, but I did capture a couple of photos that I liked. When I processed this image above, I first worked on a colour version, but there was too much brown for...
Quiet Afternoon Walk
The sun finally broke through the clouds for the first time in days, and I decided I needed to get out of the house for some fresh air. Walking a different route from the last time I was out, I headed to the schoolyard to find some inspiration. In a marshy area at the...
It Happened Again
The snow has come back, at least temporarily. Yesterday evening snow started to fall, and by this morning, we had a nice blanket of snow. It's slowly starting to melt as the temperatures begin to climb again. The meteorologists weren't kidding when they said it would...

It’s Mine
I was on my way to the local bakery, (I walked over so I could take a camera along) when I spotted a gaggle of geese. These two geese were having a little spat. One was drinking the little bit of water in the shallow hole while the other tried to get in on the action....
Bad Weather is Brewing
I met my friend Nigel at Meadowvale Conservation Area for a hike around the credit river. It was an overcast day but the place looked promising when we spotted a hawk in a nearby tree. We, of course, had the wrong lenses to capture an image of the hawk. The hawk...
Hanging By A Thread
With autumn still here and things back to being brown, I've slapped on my macro lens and headed back out into the wilds of my neighbourhood to find some things to photograph. I passed this poor sumac flower at the beginning of my walk and it looks like it has taken...
