Hmm...Well about a week has elapsed so I guess I am due for an update.
These shots are from immediately after the Prince Edward County trip. We were in Algonquin for 5 days. I saw some pictures of another route that looks just awesome and think I might try to do it for the end of the year...can't even wait for next summer!
I actually was hoping to get more great shots, but it felt like I always had the wrong lens on. It made me think I should have sprung for the 18-200 afterall. Nikon also has some new ones coming out, including a 25-300, that might be worth investigating!
The following morning.
I woke up really early, and fought the urge stay in the sleeping bag for a few more hours. Unzipped the front door of the tent and looked out at this! Guess it's worth getting up early afterall.
I have no idea what kind of growth this is, but it was HUGE. Like the size of, I don't know, 2 hamburgers or something? (Here's a little secret..it's HDR.) I just noticed it seems a little yellow...will fix that...

Even though winter was short this year, it was still long enough to make me forget how awesome warm weather is. It seems this happens every year...every time spring rolls around I think I should take off to somewhere with a little more...heat. Don't get me wrong; winter is good too. It could just be a little....shorter!
I decided that I need to come up with a new name for this blog, cuz the current one is kinda boring.
I decided that I need to come up with a new name for this blog, cuz the current one is kinda boring. I'll hopefully be posting a few shots from my lighting class night shoot last night. We've had 5 classes so far, and my teacher has generally looked at my pictures with a little bit of a perplexed look on his face and said things such as, "you have a very creative mind," "hmm...that's interesting," and "don't let anybody rain on your parade...I like how you explore things and you should go with it." I'm interpreting this as "you're cuckoo." Hmmm....
Every year it's a struggle to get a great, really unique shot at Ottawa's annual tulip festival. At a cetrain point, after thousands and thousands of tulips, they all start to look the same.
here's my effort this year. i'm pretty pleased. the petals of this tulip had already started to fall off, leaving a view of the insides that is a little different from the usual "from the top" angle.
Spring seems to have arrived early, along with the birds! This pretty pair visited my yard last week. The picture is not that great (I still haven't sprung for the telephoto) and it's through my second-floor living room window, but I was pretty excited!
Saturday was glorious and a little birdwatching was in order (clearly, I can't take credit for the picture below!)
Another eventful moment of the day was seeing a flock of 10 wild turkeys on the side of the road. I'll spare you that picture since they aren't the most attractive birds (ok, and the picture was kind of boring)! On top of that, look who said hello on the way home...
