Things, They Are Growing

Today I’m back to my regular neighbourhood walks. I took the catwalk into the creek path and noticed that the lilac trees were starting to bud. That means spring weather is officially here!

On the trail, I found some other spring goodies. The Siberian Squill is a pretty little flower that pops up every spring along the creek.

I wanted the focus to be more on its shape, so I converted the Squill to black and white. 

Tulip

I decided to treat my tulip photo the same way. I love how simple these photos look.

The First Snowfall

And just like that, the world is white.

We had our first significant snowfall here in the GTA, and it looks so pretty.

These photos are from my usual walk along the creek path. Things look so much different when pristine white snow decides to land on all that brown.

Snowy Wawa

My friend Nigel and I headed up for a long weekend to catch some waves, so to speak, in beautiful snowy Wawa. By “catch some waves” I mean photographically not actually getting in the cold, stormy water of Lake Superior.

Before looking for those waves we decided to explore Michipocten and Wawa for some snowy winter scenes. It wasn’t too hard to find those winter scenes as the snow started lightly falling on the already snow-covered landscape.

We explored Michipicoten a little more and found a beach with some small waves crashing and as we explored more we found a boat shed. It looked a little worn but that’s what I loved most about it.

After exploring Michipicoten we decided to head in Lake Superior Park to scout out some locations and get a few photos along the way. We found this hidden little beach at one of our stops.

Our final stop of the day before heading back to Wawa for dinner, was Magpie Falls.

As always when travelling there is usually something that is under construction. Little did I think that there would construction at a waterfall. So more intimate photos will have to do.
