Sad Little Bubbles


As spring nears the ice melts during the day and freezes during the night. Sometimes poor little bubbles get trapped and try desperately to escape their icy prison.  Sometimes the ice will melt just enough and a wave might free one or two of the sad little bubbles.

Two Friends


They follow one another everywhere, do everything together. They are inseparable, like siblings. They play and walk side by side, they even enjoy the same stick. They run together, sleep next to each other, they are true friends. They may be different but their friendship runs deeper, best friends forever.

Attention! Forest


I saw this on my walk the other day. I loved the vivid yellow, so bold against the dreary grey of the forest. DSC_0550d

Also made all the more clear because of the obvious the dichotomy between nature and the man made plastic of the tape.

A Monumental Tree


Photo Challenge: Monument

In Northern Canada there used to be forests filled with giant white pine trees, now however over the years loggers have cut many of them down. There is one still standing not far from my house, it is easy to spot because it stands 30m higher than everything else. Nicknamed “The Big Tree”, it has become a monument to all who live on the lake, people have even put several plaques in remembrance for those who lived and died while living on the lake’s banks. The Big Tree is our monument.

Winters Grasp


I went for a walk the other day near my house. My goal was to capture Spring, and the rebirth of nature. However I was surprised to find winter’s grasp still clinging on, the snow and ice hiding in shadows. I decided to try and capture the last of Winter instead of the beginning of spring. Enjoy.
