Day 353 - More flowers...

So, I went out to shoot some flowers during the golden hour, and my camera just would not cooperate. I tried so many ways to get take pictures of these and a few other really pretty flowers, and my camera would just not cooperate.  It would indicate that it was focused, and then it wouldn't actually be.  The camera has a mind of it's own.  Until I figure out what is wrong, again, I'll be using my point and shoot.

Day 340 - Choosing which bridge to cross...

This is one of the pictures from a hangout last summer.  I had to work on this one a bit, because it was way overexposed. I also added text, just because.

Day 333 - Growing wall....

I love the way wooden fences look.  Normally the planks are vertical, but this one they were horizontal.  I think it looks interesting with the vines growing along it. I was actually trying to take a pic of the red bud in the foreground, but my camera refused to focus on it, so, I did what I could.  What do you think?

Day 332 - Apple Blossoms!

I was heading out, and noticed these apple blossoms on the side of the road... I love apple blossoms and cherry blossoms.  They are so delicate and so breathtaking!

Yes, I know it is tilted, I like that about it.

Day 302 - Path

Another photo from Knox College... I can't wait for the trees to be in full bloom.

Day 296 - Bridge Over Troubled Water

It was slightly misty when I took this picture.  It had been raining all day, and when I went out, it looked pretty foggy.  I liked how it looked, especially with the river swelling to the brim with all the melting snow and ice feeding it.

When I saw this picture, it just reminded me of the Simon & Garfunkel song, Bridge Over Troubled Water.  I like the lyrics

See how they shine 

If you need a friend 

I'm sailing right behind 

Like a bridge over troubled water 

I will ease your mind 

Like a bridge over troubled water 

I will ease your mind

Day 261 - Where does the road lead?

It's only been for a few months since my trip, and I'm going stir crazy.  There are so many places in the world I want to experience, and every time I look at a road, I wonder where it will lead.  Don't you ever just think of the road of life and wonder where it will lead?

Day 191 - Pristine snowy....ski trail?

Another shot from the first snow fall.  Walking down this path reminded me of skiing, something else I haven't done in ages. I need to find someone to take skiing!

Day 190 - Snow covered footbridge

This bridge should look familiar.  It's on the trial near my house.  Doesn't it look so different covered in snow? I love my winter wonderland.

Day 189 - Sledding with the family

So, we had our first major snow storm of the season!  Unlike most people, I love snow, so needless to say, I was excited! (What's not to love about snow??) So, I went out that night when it was coming down, and then again the next day to enjoy the serenity that takes hold after a snow fall.  I also took pictures...the world looks so different enveloped by a fresh blanket of snow.  

This is a picture of a family taking the time to enjoy the fresh snow.  The parents were having as much fun as the kids sledding.  Such love!

I played around with this one in Photoshop.  I didn't like it in colour, and tried black and white and it just didn't feel right. This semi sepia won me over. Now if only the tree was not in the way.

Day 167 - A fallen tree

Just recently had a chance to edit some photos from the summer. Here is one from a time I met with a friend and we went for a walk in the park, talked about everything and nothing.  It was a great day away from all the stresses of life.

Beyond chatting, we were trying to take very particular pictures that I had envisioned.  Sadly, those didn't work out, but I really did love this one.

Day 100 - Mini waterfall

I love the way a long exposure on running waters look, so did this at a small water feature at the CNE, this past summer.  I think I'm getting the hang of it, so will try a real waterfall next time.

Day 94 - Red Roads

I love that the paths at this place was made of red gravel?  I don't know actually made the pathways red, but it reminded me of this quote from Anne of Green Gables:

"But those red roads are so funny.  When we got into the train at Charlottetown and the red roads began to flash past I asked Mrs. Spencer what made them red and she said she didn't know and for pity's sake not to ask her any more questions."
