Quick, before spring’s temporary arrival is over here are some pics from a visit to the Ganaraska Millenium Conservation Area . This is my second time using my new 180mm macro lens – just getting the hang of it. Though everything is still brown the sun makes it look happier.

Lonely in a crowd again. I couldn’t find anyone from YM so I joined the march and ended up in a great spot right in front of Maple Leaf Gardens. Teachers make great signs.

As a surprise Val took me to the PrimRose donkey sanctuary in Roseneath, about half an hour away from our cottage. Here are some of the lovely donkeys and mules. They take donations if you’re interested.

Read this article. While I wholeheartedly agree that distracted driving is a major problem, I dislike the fact that the Wheels section of the Toronto Star is the same entity that promotes all kind of driving-related gadgets. Hypocrisy?

Leaf litter is such a misnomer. In reality fallen and torn leaves can be quite beautiful and abstract. Photography manuals always say to choose the best, most perfect leaves and flowers as subjects. I prefer the most chewed up ones.
