The road to Perth is a wonderfully scenic drive winding through streams, ponds, fields and trees, complete with just about every known piece of vegetation and wildlife Eastern Ontario has to offer. It’s a drive I do a lot, not because of anything specific but because it’s as relaxing a drive as you can get…
Today was the perfect day to get creative! Spending some time outside this morning creating photographs that incorporate the Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) and Double Exposure techniques really got my creative juices flowing! I absolutely love the contrast of the purple lilacs against the white…
Experimenting again. This time, a gorgeous sunset illuminated some yellow flowers on the hill overlooking the mill pond. With a little bit of skill, some trial and error, and a lot of luck, I was able to create some images I’m happy with. This really helps when you are having a morning like I’m…
It’s a well-known fact that many photographs feel they are only inspired if they travel to an exotic destination. The inspiration comes from exploring a new place or a new culture. Well I’m here to tell you that doesn’t have to be the case. There is plenty to be inspired about right in your own…

We have an amazing White Birch on our property that has some beautiful layers and textures that I’ve completely enjoyed photographing. In the winter, the white on white really makes the lines in the bark pop. However, in the springtime, when there is just that little bit…
I know I’m tempting fate. I get it, it’s the last thing that you want me to do at this point but we are safely into the month of June so I’m hoping that by posting these photographs, I’m not going to be calling on some freak snowstorm to happen to us. Stranger things have…
Oliver and I enjoyed an afternoon of exploring Bedford Mills. Lots of great trees and hills to climb; textures and layers to see; and a great afternoon to take in. We saw a snake (cool) and a beaver (doubly cool) on our little hike. The Earth was still that burnt orange…
Continuing with some more images that I made while traveling North on County Road 36 from Westport Ontario to Maberly, these particular photographs speak to me. They do something to my soul. Not sure if it’s the way the tree trunks are half covered in light and half fall into shadow, or just the sheer…
