Feb 2014

I can hardly wait to turn the page on the calendar hoping the conditions in my environment ease up. I can hardly remember a colder, windier winter. Am I getting soft in ‘my old age’? Whatever. It’s been COLD!

I’ve mentioned before how wind is not my camera’s friend. It’s challenging enough to get still subjects in crisp focus! I realize there is potential for artistic shots with movement and all but sub-zero wind chill is not anything I wish to endure for that opportunity. So, having not been out with my camera all but one day this past month (see previous post), I looked back into my digital library for an image to serve as backdrop for this month’s calendar. Happy February. ❤

Although it will be a while before the tulips in my garden emerge, we can enjoy these spectacular beauties captured at Butchart Gardens on Vancouver Island last spring. For more shots from that visit, here is the post.

New Life

Happy Easter! Christ the Lord is Risen! Alleluia!
Spring is such a fabulous season. The earth is reborn after harsh cold and long nights. New life bursts forth – some years sooner than others! These pussy willows were photographed last year on March 19. We’ll be lucky to see them this year by April 19! As I post, snows are blowing again.

November 2012

Although this image was taken in May, it is very typical of November in my backyard.

This image and other of my favourite images are available for purchase. Information is on the “Prints” tab above.

Our aircraft have been parked on shore for the winter but we can continue to enjoy scenes of summer…

Falling leaves and waterfalls….

Here’s Raleigh Falls from the opposite side. With water levels so low, it was easy to step across and shoot a less seen angle. Which side do you like better?

For our de Havilland float plane fans, I have the Otter at the dock at sunset.

The proportionately large tail is exaggerated from this angle.
