Another beautiful lake – Lusk Lake – with its captivating shoreline, much like the Group of Seven scenes with rocky outcroppings and tall pine trees leaning slightly into the lake. It was a hot dry day earlier this week when we hiked there, and because of the extreme heat the aroma from the pine needles […]
Nature has a way of charming me, by creating beauty out of the ordinary basic ingredients of water, rock, wood, and plants. No need for embellishments. Simple raw expression. That is how I felt when I came upon this driftwood on the shore of Lake Taylor earlier this summer. Raw creative beauty. A gift from nature […]
I couldn’t decide which perspective of these summer flowers I preferred. Typical for me, it depends. The day I took these photos I was quite struck with the fields of them blowing gently in the breeze and indeed that’s what called me to pause and breathe in the beauty of the scene. Yet that beauty […]
Water, water everywhere. That’s how it felt on my recent photo outing to the Laurentians with Harry Nowell. I loved every moment of it and, it was so energizing. That’s my experience of water – I’m totally hypnotized by it and at the same time energized by its persistent, endless, abundant flow over waterfalls and […]
I’m always curious enough about the sunrise to get up early to see if its worth taking photos, and while I’m often disappointed in the sunrise there’s always something that is beautiful and ready to be photographed. And that’s what happened earlier this week when Harry Nowell, my photography mentor, and I were in the […]
This week I spent a delightful couple of days with Harry Nowell, my photography mentor/coach, attempting to expand my way of seeing and hone my skills related to depth of field. We explored photo opportunities, mostly of waterfalls or rapids, in the Mont Tremblant area. I’m always attracted to flowing water and rocks, and this spot, the […]
This past weekend I was camping at Taylor Lake and rose early to see the sunrise. I was blessed with a flat calm lake and a clear sky. All I could ask for. I also was blessed with a visitor. As I was lost in the beauty of what I was viewing through my camera lens, […]
This past week, I don’t know why, but wherever I looked when out hiking my eyes were attracted to the reds standing out against the greenness of the forest. No matter the size, my eye was drawn to them. So often I think of the month of July in the forest as being – well, […]
I was driving up the Gatineau Parkway on my way for a hike when I decided to stop for a few minutes to check out Pink Lake from its lookout. Indeed, the water colour is becoming a beautiful turquoise colour due to the growth of the algae in the warmer waters at this time of year. […]
I spent an evening paddling and drifting slowly around the southern end of Lac Philippe this past week savouring all the sights and sounds as the day was coming to a close. The light at that time of day was so warm and rich and added such depth to the reflections along the shoreline. Here […]
