Glowing Cottage in A Winter Wonderland

What a difference a year makes! This is new year’s eve coming into 2015, with a fresh 2 ft of snow – so much fell that we chose to stay another day to play outside. Fast forward to this new year, and while we absolutely had lots of fun with our friends, it did not look quite like this. Happy new year to all.

An iguana hiding in the shadows by the pool

Growing up in the North, I thought iguanas were these exotic reptiles. The first time I saw one live in Mexico was fascinating… and then I saw another… and another… and… you get the idea. This handsome specimen preferred the shade of a palm tree by the pool.

Sunset at 35,000 feet on way to Aruba

sunset at thirty five thousand feet on way to aruba
Right place at the right time, particularly if your seat was on the West side of the plane! (Feel bad for the East facing folks!)  We were treated to an ever evolving sunset as we cruised at 35,000 feet on way to Aruba.  Dare you to step out and walk across the clouds 🙂  (My spouse took the picture, while I did the post processing)

Who knew butterflies eat oranges through a built-in straw! Photographed at the butterfly conservatory in Southern Ontario.

Sun setting across sailboat in Sea of Abaco, Bahamas

Sun sets are a favorite of mine because of the many colors, the emotion, and shadows that are created. Here we are anchored in a bay within the Sea Of Abaco, north Bahamas, having dinner on our boat, watching the sun set across our neighbor.

Birch Trees With A Backdrop Of Huge Color

Loved how the birch trees stood out from a multi-color backdrop of huge color. Over exposed the trees for effect.

Fall Afternoon In The Mystical Forest

Took a walk with the kids and dog a few weeks back through our local forest. With many of the leaves already fallen and a dark haze lingering, the forest had a mystical tone to it. You almost expected a Disney character to come running by – ha!

A Day At The Office

Nothing was staged for this photo. This was the first of a 6 day sea kayak expedition, starting from Caribo Island, Belize. Having finished a light lunch, I walked through palm trees toward the water and happened upon this setting. And at that moment I thought to myself “yes, this beats a day at the office”.   🙂

Intently Watching The Street During Afternoon Coffee Break in Croatia

Makarska is a lovely town in Croatia along the Adriatic coast with many opportunities for people watching from one of its restaurants or cafes. This Croatian man – enjoying a coffee and water – had an intense look as he gazed the street. And at the moment I pressed the shutter, he turned and caught the camera’s eye.

Retired Gentleman Fly Fishing Oakville’s 16 Mile Creek

This is how I want to retire… fly fishing a beautiful creek on a fall Sunday afternoon with not too much else to worry about. While the picture was taken in color, felt it had more emotion when viewed in b+w.
