#FrameItFriday (week 44 season 4)

#FrameItFriday (week 44 season 4) Time she be whipping by like a freight train and just like that....we're almost done with October. Well almost done as far as what the calendar says but the fall photos? I'm still sorting through them and plan on posting them through November like I previously warned you about so buckle up. Let's talk business for a sec can we? See the pretty calendar in the photo? That's my 2021 calendar and for those folks that purchased one last year get

#FrameItFriday (week 43 season 4)

#FrameItFriday (week 43 season 4) You've been asking, I've finally ceased procrastinating and put together my 4th annual calendar!!!! It's currently at the printers getting the artwork sorted and after my approval BAM, it goes to print! So, for all my regulars who've been patiently waiting at the sidelines, time to place your orders while supplies last. This is pretty much my only source of income for the year since no companies will SPONSOR me. (I know, pathetic right?) We'

#FrameItFriday (week 42 season 4)

#FrameItFriday (week 42 season 4) Check out Trevor (that's what I'm calling him) a young calf I met down one of the coolest dead end roads I've ever been along. He'd just finished up a feeding courtesy of his mum. His nursing skills are horrible, lacking patience and if I were his mum he'd get a smack on his behind for his tug o'war technique. Isn't he something? Do you ever look at animal photos and think "if this cow were human his name would be________". Trevor reminds me

#FrameItFriday (week 41 season 4)

#FrameItFriday (week 41 season 4) It finally happened, a road trip, a legit one AND I had company, really swell company along with me on the adventure. With a destination in mind (Almonte, Ontario) all 3 of us piled into the car and hopped on the most roller coaster route we could find. It definitely did not disappoint. The weather held up quite stellar as well, that always helps. There were many, many stops along the way, throw on the 4ways and pull off safely to the side of

#FrameItFriday (Week 40 season 4) Ahhhhh Fall, October 1st, autumn, leaves, changing colours, halloween, painting. Painting, yes as I type this from the middle of my kitchen surrounded by all things paint and not the artist framed works you hang on the wall, the stuff you brush on your walls, your baseboards, and your ceiling (and your clothes, hair and skin if you paint like me) Well, 95% of the painting is not by me, it's mostly done by the house painter aka my husband. I'm

#FrameItFriday (week 39 season 4)

#FrameItFriday (week 39 season 4) It’s a shortish one today. I’m on a double vaxed getaway in search for leaves but mostly playing euchre and eating WAY too much junk food. I brought my camera gear but mostly using my phone to capture odds and sods that most likely won’t get published. You know NSFW stuff or perhaps TMI lol. Nothing illegal I can assure you. It was time for a getaway in the beautiful #haliburtonhighlands sorry for torturing you with the bird fishing sequence

#FrameItFriday (week 38 season 4)

#FrameItFriday (week 38 season 4) We took advantage of the great weather yesterday and ventured out for a paddle along the Moira River yesterday. "Apparently" according the weather folks, the next few days are going to be stellar for sunshine and heat. In Ontario that is, I'm not sure about elsewhere. I sure hope they're correct because I want to get back out there again. We went from our place downstream to the first bridge (which means absolutely nothing to you unless you k

#FrameItFriday (week 37 season 4) Check out the tomatoes! They're actually surviving my care and since I've only ever half-assed tried to grow anything of the vegetable family before I'm a tiny bit proud of myself. I admit I was a lazy farmer only tending to it when the bugs weren't around, it wasn't stinking hot or someone in the house said "there's more ripe tomatoes out in the garden". I've learned a lot about stuff, enough for my wee brain anyhow. At the suggestion of a

#FrameItFriday (week 36 season 4) Well holy my moly where the HECK did August go? How dare it take the warmth away with it! Ok, the humidity part, I don't miss that, but COME ON, tell me this coolness is temporary, please! I'm not quite ready for fall yet. I am ready for all the tomato plants I put in the garden to finish producing though. I'm a total novice to canning, jarring, preserving, pickling, etc, etc. I google recipes that read "quick and easy to make" because I'm n

#FrameItFriday (week 35 season 4) Well how the heck is everyone doing? What are YOUR tricks to keep cool? I'll go first.....yesterday we planned to hit the beach and I had found a new to me location that was sweet. I parked the car, we walked to the shoreline, I dropped my towel in the sand and walked directly into the cool, refreshing waters of Lake Ontario. I brought a bathing suit but there simply was not enough time to change into it. I went in fully clothed and I could c

#FrameItFriday (week 34 season 4) Yep, just like the photo....I'm so excited I may almost pee my pants! Not to worry, I won't (phew) but I am excited! Why? Oh I'm FINALLY going to shoot some live music and that's happening tonight! Where? At the Northumberland Rocks Back festival proudly repping for the first time ever for Sound Check Entertainment (no pressure). Last live music I shot was at the Sanderson Centre for Meghan Patrick, it was Friday, March 13th, 2020 and pretty

#FrameItFriday (week 33 season 4)

#FrameItFriday (week 33 season 4) I fell down the rabbit hole this past week. Not a real one but the virtual one. Have you ever done that? I've been researching ideas for shoots, googling specific words and the motherhood of images and ideas and websites popped up before my eyes. It sure makes the adrenaline flow. I kid you not, I am surrounded by cool locations, I am gathering some sweet props (yes MORE), costumes and I have a gazillion ideas for poses.....now I just need "

#FrameItFriday (week 32 season 4)

#FrameItFriday (week 32 season 4) Well another week, another blog. I've found that unless I plan for it, my camera has taken a back seat to life around here. The 16 tomato plants I ambitiously crammed in to our sweet raised garden beds have turned in to a jungle. I'll be cutting back on that nonsense next year. There's a gazillion of those cherry tomatoes that ripen daily which is cool but the beefsteak ones are the ones I seriously want to put to the taste test but they're s

#FrameItFriday (week 31 season 4) Well, let's jump back a bit for a second now shall we? This time last year here's 3 things I never in a million years would have thought would happen: 1) Moving to the country B) Camping with my kids iii) All of us reading around a campfire on a rainy day Never say never I suppose. What a fantastic 3 day adventure I had with my kids and daughter-in-law last weekend. I didn't really give too much thought about how we'd get to our destinatio

#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 29 season 4)

#FrameItFriday (week 29 season 4) It's pretty noisy around here today, some of our trees are receiving a much deserved mani/pedi. Some we are taking down all together (those annoying Manitoba Maples). They were using our barn/garage as a crutch and well that won't do. The roof needs some attention, now we'll be able to see just how much work it needs. The angle of the photo I took makes it look like the barn is about to topple over, it's old and a tad rickety but it's got goo

#FrameItFriday (week 28 season 4) This is the oddest July I have experienced in a long time, so, much rain! I mean rain is good, it helps fill the well, fill the pond, overflow the flowerpots and drown the gardens. Being housebound due to the monsoons we've been experiencing has forced me to focus on the closets around our home that had stuff flung into them from our move. No photography, just re-organizing. In homes pushing 143 years old you discover the odd things that need

#FrameItFriday (week 27 season 4)

#FrameItFriday (week 27 season 4) Last Sunday morning was insane around our house, specifically out the back. It began by seeing but mostly hearing this little dude, freshly fledged. In fact I believe that the occupants of any and all active bird nests within a 1km radius of our place decided to fledge early that morning. All the newbie pilots decided to sputter and flutter to the nearest thing that they could land on. This little cutie chose our deck. The trees were alive wi

#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 25 season 4)

#FrameItFriday (week 25 season 4) I told my family that I'm trying to do better at keeping track of the days of the week. Acknowledging the fact that it's the weekend and stuff like that. Not to worry, I won't take it as far as putting on "days of the week" underwear to track the days though, nah I'll just check my phone or iPad. I'd ask that google home thing we've got but she doesn't play well with our internet. She keeps on making some excuse like "I can't do that right n
