A Rainbow
For today…just a rainbow.

Cyprus Lake and the Grotto
It was a drizzly day in the park today but that didn’t deter me from getting out to explore the park.
Wet mushroom
From my campground its a short hike over to the Grotto trail and on the way I took a short break to enjoy the view – overcast as it was, it was still a pretty nice view.
Quiet Rest
Once you reach the Grotto trail it’s only 1 kilometre before you reach an overlook onto Georgian Bay and the Grotto.

Things started to get a little wetter as I hiked back to the campsite. That meant I could get in the tent and do some reading. It was a vacation after all.
A Wash Out in Stanley Park?
My first full day in British Columbia began as a very wet adventure but the weather eventually turned as I made my way out of Stanley Park and off on the ferry to Nanaimo. Here is a video I put together of my day along with some of my favourite photos from the day.
Haunted
Today was the perfect day to head out to Rob Roy and photograph the old haunted house. Here is a quick look at the scene I found when I passed by.

Beautifully dark and stormy, don’t you think?
In Search of Owls
Nigel along with the Brampton Photo Group invited me on one of their outings in the hopes of capturing the snowy owl up in the Holland Marsh area. The area is known for wintering snowy owls but I had yet to check the area out so I jumped at the chance to join the group.
As we drove in to the area we spotted a beautiful red-tailed hawk hanging out in a tree. Unluckily for me he was too far for my lens to get a great shot of him (or her) but that always seems to be the case for birds. Maybe when I’m rich and famous I can purchase a much longer lens.

After driving around and seeing some more hawks (these were much further out and flying) we finally spotted a snowy owl. And of course he was just out of reach for a great photo.

It’s times like these that I say “stick with landscapes Sue they are much easier to capture”.
Ramshackled
Course that’s not really true. You can get a great shot of a bird it just takes loads of patience and time. We were limited on time and I think some people were limited on patience but hey that’s okay. We all have those days. It’s what you make of it that counts.
