#FrameItFriday (week 37 season 5) For the first time in ages I took off for a daytime explore. Pre high gas prices I roamed daily, now it's here and there when I got time to spare and some coin in my pocket. I wanted to do re-con on fall colour roads and also lot of things change, take for instance this image I've posted in black & white (sorry to my glaucoma followers) and colour. I've been to this place 3xs (and it's not just around the corner). First time, I just slowed do

#FrameItFriday (week 30 season 4) WHAT is going on here? Well, the orange and banana yaks are going on an adventure with Kiddo's canoe (not shown). After 40 or so years (for me), me and my kids are going camping! Ok I did a sleepover with my son when he was in Beavers YEARS ago and we slept over on the field at the Skydome, that was cool but the only animals were the 1,000s of beavers. This time we're paddling some lakes, portaging a bit (I'll let you know what a "bit" is whe

#FrameItFriday (week 26 season 4) "Hop on, there's room." Goals. For me as a photographer one shot on my bucket list was a frog on a lily pad. Got it finally! I'm gradually getting my shoot and paddle skills in sync. I had the whole winter off, kind of tricky to train when you're in the great white north and the frogs hibernate and the waters freeze over. I might add my kayak will not fit in our bathtub. Ha. Ha. It's surprising the amount of wildlife that lurks in the greens

#FrameItFriday (week 20 season 4) Rather than tell you about the tick bite, the 2 dead birds we found (one hit our window & one snuck in the basement and died). Or the frustrations of online ordering (what you thought you were getting vs what you got) let's talk about these fences now shall we? So, we're walking along the road and on one side we've got fence 1 and the other side we've got fence 2. My brain starts to sputter into gear, my imagination begins to flicker to life.

#FrameItFriday (week 33, season 3) Well, we finally got away. In fact, we still are away and it's been outstanding weather. Road trips have been replaced by early morning paddles. I'm not an early riser but have managed to get up and out on the water a few times before 8am. In the nature world that is a bit late but we still managed to hit the motherland of wildlife on a couple of mornings which was super cool. Yesterday though we went out and saw pretty much nothing but the

#FrameItFriday (week 21, season 2) I hope you've been enjoying the bird shots this past week, I have more so be prepared. This whole birding thing is quite the experience for me. I thought I'd throw in a shot of a turtle on this week's blog though as I have seen a few en route to the birds. It was also Turtle Day or something yesterday and I totally missed that. As I mentioned last week, the ID'ing thing is a daunting task. In spite of the google, I still mess up what it is.
