Leaf Litter

By , September 30, 2012 4:12 pm

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.

Equine scene on Scriven Road just north of Rice Lake. The second guy just wouldn’t turn around.

Cows resting on each other.

There’s not much happening, so here are a few random pictures, including some from a hike at Nature Areas 1 and 2 at Trent University in Peterborough.

A heron, four carp, a Muscovy duck and a hummingbird – all on one May day at the cottage.

 

 

Spring Flowers

By , July 16, 2012 12:45 pm

These pictures of spring flowers were taken at Rosetta McLain Gardens in Scarborough. It is a beautiful place to people watch (especially wedding parties having their photos taken), look out over the lake, or simply look at flowers – as the bench plate attests. Now that summer is here and the temperatures are soaring, it is nice to look back on lively rather than wilted flowers.

Hostas Galore

I love the texture of hostas. These lovely specimens were found at Rosetta McLain Gardens in Scarborough in May. I had to lie on the ground to get them – nobody seemed to blink an eye.

Here are some photos from our first day at the cottage – spring-like weather.

 

 

March Break Photos 2

The next day of March Break we went to Presqu’ile Provincial Park where there is a beach strewn with bird bones; sounds morbid but it makes for an interesting subject.
