Our Snowshoe adventure to Stubbs Falls

Well the falls is a bit hidden here but you can see a bit of the rapids above.....this little set of falls in Arrowhead Park is a popular spot in all seasons...but we were a bit disappointed not to see the wild and artistic ice formations we saw last year....but the winter is not over....we will come again. I also was disappointed to see the Park Management use snowmobiles to groom the snowshoe trails....I may as well just have walked in with my boots.....I thought snowshoe trails had nice deep snow on them for that calorie burning workout!!!!!....What Gives?????

A drippy New Years Day

We experienced a very wet start to our New Year and as I was out exploring the ice covered rock cliffs In Algonquin Park I got quit Wet!!!! but found the water dripping from these ice formation, made interesting lines in my composition...I also converted this shot to B&W to make them stand out even more....but it was a challenge to try and keep my lens clean and clear of water drops.....

A Moment at Dawn

So sorry for this long absence in posting.....this Christmas rush was the busiest ever......anyway we are approaching a small Brook Trout lake at dawn, and this shoreline caught my eye and I just had to stop to capture it.....of course the other fishermen left me behind....but moments like this are too rare at times and I wanted to save it not just in my mind but through the eye of my lens.....for those days when I will no longer be physically able to venture out at dawn on a frozen lake...with camera and fishing gear in tow!!!!

An abstract point of view!

So sorry for not posting in quit a few weeks now.....been so busy with Holiday preparations, and still not caught up.....but was playing around with a method of turning my lens during a long 2 to 4 second shutter speed....so this is my Christmas Tree!!!! With all the snow that has been fallen south of our area, I've been disappointed that we don't have that lovely heavy laden snow everywhere....it's been so cold with a nasty wind....so there goes my lovely trees!!!! Hopefully will have some Great winter shots in a few weeks

Early signs of winter slumber

The brown crispy leaves, blanket the forest floor. The lakes are starting to freeze over, trapping fish and crustaceans below. Soon the skies will open up and cover our world with fresh fallen snow...bringing on a clean white canvas for my camera to capture...in the variety of light and colors of the passing winter sun.....An exciting time to look forward to......

The National Art Gallery

I enjoyed a weekend away in Ottawa visiting my Sister and Brother-in-law and capturing some architectural shots for our photo club's theme. This one appeals to me the most, this amazing sculpture of this huge arachnid compliments this stunning glass building...wished I had clearer skies but then the shadows would have been so harsh.....

Reflections of Frost

It was a glorious morning, trees were thick with frost and not a breeze to be found....one of our local lakes called Fish Lake was as still as can be...it seems this dock was left free floating for the winter and ice season....was a gift to be out and about with the camera!!!!!
