2nd Place

I logged on to Facebook this morning to find a pleasant surprise... One of my photos earned second place in a photo contest.  I had entered it (along with one other) and not given it another thought really, until this morning when I got the message about being the second place winner.  The entries are voted on by regular folk, and there is no "prize", other than bragging rights I suppose, but just knowing that my photo appealed to people is prize enough for me.

A whole year????

Where does the time go???  It's been a year since I posted...  UGH.

Photo of the Week

So... a couple of days this week have ended with spectacular sunsets. The first time I was in the middle of a couple of hours worth of playing "Mom's Taxi" and, much to my despair and disappointment, I didn't get any photos.  The following night however, as you can see, I was much better prepared. I had been watching the sky all afternoon and had a really good hunch that SOMETHING was going to happen...

Obviously, it pays to be prepared.
I wonder when I'll learn that lesson? *sigh* 

Algonquin Park

I spent an amazing weekend in Algonquin Park last weekend. Camped in the back of my van, all by myself, which was an exciting experience. At least I was warm and dry. ^.^

The colours were spectacular, to say the least - there really aren't words to describe it, and the pictures just never do it any true justice - and despite the rain and overcast skies, I did manage to get some good shots.

The weekend before that, I was in Thunder Bay and did do some shooting up there, but by comparison the reds and oranges we get here are absent due to the lack of sugar maples so the best shots by far involve water. I need more time to explore the region's parks and forests for great locations, which I am hoping for the opportunity to do in the spring.
