Tranquility on Smoke Lake at Sunrise, Algonquin Park

Well my Dear Friend Joan's Garden is starting to come alive with colour and textures. Time for making good use of my favorite lens, my 85mm macro! I Love shooting at that Golden Hour time of day, anywhere from 5pm tp sundown. Enjoy!!!!!
Wonderful captures with that magical lens ! Loved your sunset shot over the lake.
I know the feeling when the sun approaches that magical time - I'm always itching to go somewhere with my camera in tow (too bad the timing isn't always opportune).

Besides having a Love Affair with my camera...I feel just as comfortable with my paint brushes...doing most of my work in Acrylics, and experimenting with Watercolours. If I could paint every shot I took I would need a huge gallery....but reality says you only have so much space!!
My passion for photography and painting has brought me to this amazing area of Muskoka,It has truly been a Gift!to reside here full time...The beauty of the seasons, and the variety of wildlife never ceases to amaze me.
Enjoy my blog..
