Full fall moon
Madawaska River
These waterfalls are the Madawaska River as seen along the Track and Tower Trails at Algonquin Park, the images are hand-held as I wasn’t expecting such a beautiful opportunity to do some waterfall images.
Fall colours Birch, Beech, and Maple and sunrise on white pines
Fall colours found along our hike in Algonquin. Beech, Birch and Maple. Even the White Pines had some colour with the help of the sunrise.
The Beaver Valley… worth getting up early for!
Fall in the Valley is always on Autumn Leaves tours, however it’s the September sunrise with the morning mist that captures my heart.
Country …
Wild flowers in Grey County
Visiting Grey County in July and your guaranteed to see bountiful wild flowers on the road sides, my drives to work are stunningly beautiful.
Owen Sound Water Filtration 1910
Perhaps the last water filtration plant of it’s kind left in Ontario, decommissioned in 1969. Water from the Syndham River filled this room and flowed through the floor filter which consisted of deep layers of sand and gravel. Water travelled gravity fed to the people of Owen Sound.
HDR: This was a very dark room, somewhat cave like with a single construction light… these images are the result of combining several images by stacking layers and combining the best exposures from each image into one.
Meaford Ice Flow
The winds and spring temperatures have broken up the ice on Georgian Bay causing quite the pile of aqua coloured ice. So of course, I took a few photos, however the cold wind chased me back to my warm car.

Frosty Mornings
When mother nature decorates for Christmas she combines cold, sunshine, frost and some sparkling snow flakes.
A flight to Tobermory
It was a perfect day… a flight to Tobermory for a bike ride and a snack, and returning under the stars. Magical. Thanks Werner, it was fantastic.

Hey … that’s our farm! We can even see our white horses in the fields on the left.
Canada 150 … we didn’t see it until looking at the photos later … good shot Emma!
The Horse Habit … 2nd oldest tack shop in Ontario… worth the drive, keep going past Owen Sound… lol Ellen says people don’t leave without buying – the drive works in her favour! www.horsehabit.ca
Looking out under the wing of Werner’s Cessna over Lake Huron.

Bruce Peninsula… I never realized how desolate it is. No wonder why they are Bears.
Collingwood Terminals and Georgian Bay
DeCew Falls
My son Chris rows for Trent University, the Canadian Championships was held at the PanAm site in St. Catherine’s, Henley Island.
It’s a long drive to cheer like only a mom can … for about 30 seconds. So a side trip to DeCew Falls between races was in order. No-one told me how long the hike is, or how muddy and treacherous. When I got to this falls, I might have looked puzzled as it wasn’t what I was expecting. Nope the big falls was even more difficult to get to … I’ll save that one for another day and bring ropes etc.
I took a couple of selfies to celebrate the hike, and returned to cheer on Chris.
Early morning drives, pulling out of my driveway
Sometimes I have long drives to events and leave at dawn. The end of my drive way looks towards the Beaver Valley, I love it here.
The “bra” fence
I laughed when I saw this, many ski resorts have a “bra tree”, some people hate it, little kids wonder about it, and many laugh. Which is what I did when I came across the “bra fence” near Gravenhurst.

Monarch Butterflies
While on the Bruce Peninsula I learned some interesting Monarch info… they currently flying south along the shore line, we saw at least a dozen, perhaps more. They overnight in the cedars and sometimes will cluster in them. While some will make the whole trip to Mexico, along the journey 7 generations are produced. The extra little bug in the first photo is an Syrphid. Next time your up in the Bruce Peninsula look in the cedars for sleeping Monarchs, you might be surprised how many you find.
Ferns in the forest
Horizontal rain in the pastures, shelter from the winds in the forests “cathedrals of sanctuary” to quote a friend.
Tews Falls
So, this was beautiful yet upsetting … people were running everywhere, do they not see that we were on the edge of a cliff? It seems that every week someone falls off the edge goofing around or taking a selfie, it’s quite the mob scene at these Hamilton area waterfalls, it make Grey County water falls seem peaceful! I did not get the shots I was hoping to, I now realize the spectacular shots I see were done be trespassing and walking past signs saying not to, so I didn’t. This is what you see if you go there.
