Swans in the Snow

April Fools! Yes, it was quite the wintry day in Hanover on April 1st this year. And there on Marl Lake was a lovely pair of swans, heedless of the…

One More Reason to Love Terrasse-Vaudreuil

Yes, there are many reasons to be thrilled to live here. But right at the top of the list I would include our opportunities to enjoy spectacular sunsets. I and…

Mums in the Sunshine

With the return of the bitter cold winds today, I felt that a little warmth would be welcome. Here you might catch some from the sunny petals.

Paphiopedilum Gardineri — Recognized

Yes, she is a beauty, and I was very happy to see her as an Honourable Mention on the screen.

Iced Cream in Crystal

I took the icy plunge and submitted my first three photos to the Camera Club I’ve just joined. They call it a Challenge in the Expressions category, so I happily accepted…

Dragonfly Days

Perhaps this delicate dragonfly will remind us of warmer days — pleasantly comfortable October mornings when the temps were not in the minus 30 degrees Celsius.

A Precious New Life Outside the Womb

27 Dec

Let it Snow!

Here in the East we’ve been truly blessed with good weather that allowed us to visit our loved ones and embrace the holiday spirit together. Now it’s time to safely…

The Bay is Freezing Over

And the geese are trying to stay warm. In fact, they look more like ducks as they huddle into their feathers in this icy cold water. Off to the top…

Forest Fun and Folly

During our walk through the forest last week, we built this inuksuk, and a few others to keep her company. (In case you were not aware of it, this is…

No More Spinning

Under the bridge, not far from a watery grave, this two-wheeler knows its cycling days are over. Such a waste! This metal could be re-cycled.

23 Nov

Mother Nature’s Talents

 The mirror on my garage door shows off Mother Nature’s talents in painting. And at this time of the year, the canvas changes almost every day. Here our favourite artist competes with the…

Silky Gowns in the Sunset

They have booked their passage on the gentle winds and are dressed for the journey  in their finest silks. Bon voyage!

18 Nov

Mid-November in the Woods

I thought they had packed away their colourful finery for another year, but today, November 18th, there they were, still flaunting their delicate beauty.  Amazing and mesmerizing. And I cannot…

We’re Ready!

Let’s face it! We are never really ready for snow storms. And we could certainly do without all that nonsense these seasonal tempests  insist on bringing with them! But, ready or not, we…

The Woodpile

Once again we’re at that time of the year when squirrels are squirreling away their goodies, and homeowners are stacking their wood. Actually, in this case, the wood-burners might be…

Early Morning at PSNM

Yes, I am back to work for a while. I’m also back to my old routine of getting out of bed between 5 and 5:30, and out of the house…

New York City — March 2005

Thinking of one of my favourite cities and remembering my many visits to Times Square. This photo was taken during a school trip with my secondary 5 students. Wow! More…

Big Sister Can Explain

Yes, Katherine, this is the duck we can use when we want to scrape the mud off our boots. You see, his back is all bristly to clean off the…

Bathtub Fun

Visiting Grandma means having a bath in her big tub. And Katie loves every minute of it. Grandma obviously gets a kick out of it too. 🙂

26 Oct

Salvaged Sumac

I didn’t want her, but allowed her to stay. Then I tolerated her. Now I know why: she’s gorgeous in the fall.

25 Oct

I’m Back!

For a while. And for a different view. I have said it  before: In life, as in photography, perspective is everything.

24 Oct

Old Faithful

She is always there — day after day, and year after year, lying and waiting to greet me as I pass by. Posing, maybe, for photo number 60 or 75? Who knows how…

23 Oct

With Down as Delicate as a Baby’s Breath

When the milkweed pods open in the fall I enjoy my walks even more than usual. I am so drawn to these gentle flying seeds that I want to film…

22 Oct

Faking HDR in Lightroom 4

The flowers were very real and they looked lovely straight from my Lumix, but for the fun of it, I decided to try something new that I had read about only this…

21 Oct

Rocks — They Speak Volumes

Yes, I find they speak to me. And in a very rich language, full of texture and colour. They whisper their history and echo their almost-forgotten dreams to all who…

20 Oct

Gingko Gold

My beautiful living fossil is quite golden this time of the year.

19 Oct

Weekly Photo Challenge: Silhouette

As silhouettes go, I think this is a great one! Some might even be tempted to call this lumberjack-of-all-trades a Poster Man!

19 Oct

Cacophony of Colour

Those of you who don’t know the meaning of synesthesia can see a perfect example in today’s post. In this photo, the visual stimulation is “loud” and “noisy” as if…

Singular Beauty

This brave soul was the only orange root to germinate and survive in my garden this summer. Why? I don’t know. But with no carrot friends or enemies, she stood…

A Farmer and his Horses Ploughing the Field

At first sight of this scene on our drive home last week, I gasped with joy. We had to do a U-turn on the highway and drive back so I…

Cold Case in the Making

Same forest; same shoe. Different day; different perspective. At eight degrees Fahrenheit, this one is slowly but surely becoming a cold case.

16 Oct

Reflections on the Bay

I saw no wildlife in the bay today, but these muted fall colours on the water gave me reason to pause and join in their reflection.

12 Oct

One of the Fallen

Yes, I choose to believe that she lived a good life. Now she will go on to please others with her warmth.

12 Oct

Full Moon — Blue Moon

When there are two full moons in a calendar month, we call the second one a blue moon.  See here for more information: http://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/when-is-the-next-blue-moon

This is Katie's Style! Aren't you jealous?

The Beauty of Au Naturel

Such unpretentious charm and beauty!  It totally melts her grandmother’s heart.

01 Oct

From a Distance

Yes, I may be looking at you from a distance, but the glow is still there. Saint Nom de Marie, I have a warm place in my heart for you.…

Twinkle Toes in the Grass

At nine months old, Katherine loved to sit in the grass and sing.  It was a delight to watch her.

Tea for Two on a Rainy Afternoon

After a lovely time at PSNM during their Open House, and a wonderful visit with many of my former colleagues, it is now time to put my feet up, wrap a blanket…

29 Sep

Lightly Steamed; Drowned in Butter; Sprinkled With Salt

Oh how I love swiss chard!  And not only its taste.  It is also beautiful to look at and to touch. Hopefully, the farmer’s market still has some for me.

28 Sep

Velorution

One of my favourite graffiti scenes, which unfortunately is no longer there.

27 Sep

Frame of Mind

What a place to relax and take it easy. The sights, the sounds, the smell of fresh air! Yes, it does have an impact on one’s frame of mind.

27 Sep

Crime Scene Investigation?

Frolicking in my forest is one of my favourite activities, and I always have my camera with me — just in case.  Well, this is what I found on this…

Puff, but Not the Magic Dragon

Yes, this lovely 11-inch-diameter specimen was in the forest just up the street from my door — just waiting for me to salvage. You see, last fall I saw a…

The Great Egret in Flight

It was such a delight to witness this!  You can imagine how thrilled I was to capture it on my Lumix.

Greasy Helping Hands

When windshield wipers refuse to work, good neighbours often lend a helping hand. Thank you, Bruce.

Bathed in the Setting Sun

This is one of my earlier photos, taken over seven  years ago.  But it is still one of my favourites because of the warmth of the glow.

21 Sep

Busy as a Bee

They are such hard workers and always seem so happy.  Hi Ho, Hi Ho, …. They could be compared to the Seven Dwarfs who whistle while they work.

21 Sep

Fishers in the Fog

Both birds and men take advantage of good fishing weather. Here they are on the Baie de Vaudreuil on a foggy November morning.

Four Shoes

One pair for my man and one pair for my granddaughter.
