The Purples of Spring
Taking a slightly different route on my walk along the neighbourhood creek, I found tiny little purple flowers. They were starting to emerge from their buds, one at a time. The neighbourhood creek is not the only place to find spring flowers. In my backyard, Rockcress...
The Bees are Buzzin’
The apple blossoms are blooming and the bees are busy pollinating. It’s a great time of year! The ground ivy is everywhere and I can’t complain as I walk through a sea of purple on my daily constitutional. After spending a huge position of last year walking around...

I went back to the creek to shoot the tulip again and thought I would show you a coloured version this time. I love how the leaves cradle the bud as it grows bigger.

Moody Skies in the Forks
I went out on a hike with my friend Linda and her dog, Summer. We decided on hiking at Forks of the Credit Conservation Area. When I drove in, I noticed some very strange-looking clouds. They started fading as we hiked, so I stopped at Kettle Lake to get some...
