The other day I visited Lukas on the way home, so I was running late so when I approached Kanata. It was already starting to get dark, putting the Russian Church close to the highway in stark silhouette. It's funny how a little shift in your routine can really change how you experience things.

I've seen it like this before but was reminded of this lovely sight. It was too late once I get home to get this shot since my gear was scattered all over the place, but last night I set out to catch it. This involved walking through a closed off construction zone, but it was a fun little adventure. I stuck around and took several shots. I'll post them over the next few days.

“To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” - Elliott Erwitt

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...

Here are a few shots from my recent stay in PEC (the pictures don't really go together...). That place is so perfect....any place that combines birds, beach and wine is up there in my books.

the only thing better than going to Sandbanks is spending the night there too!

Today I had the pleasure of attending a vernissage in Almonte that one of my fellow TC Photo Clubbers, Bob Boisvert (or as I know him, Captain Bob) participated in. Exhibiting is a significant achievement for any artist and the vernissage is a great way to celebrate all the hard work that goes into it and talk to the artists about their work. The work was all stunning and the venue was also beautiful. I was inspired to shoot afterwards and Almonte was a perfect setting.

These are shots that I took last year in Europe, on my old camera. I love how night shots make everything look so magical (I mean, it kind of was magical, and the pictures reflect it!)

A few months ago Matt and I jumped in the car with our friends Dave and Jess on a last-minute trip to Halifax. We drove 14 hours there and 14 hours back in one weekend. Needless to say, we were exhausted, but had a great time. It was Matt's first time out east, so we made sure to visit Peggy's Cove. Here are some pics! -- Jenna

Matt and I recently got back from a fabulous vacation in Cayo Guillermo, Cuba. This small, idyllic island was the perfect place to get away, relax and explore. Here are a few of my favourite shots from the trip. -- Jenna
