  Here's yet another icicle photo... At first I thought the roof in the background was distracting, but the more I look at it, the more I think it actually adds something to the picture. The icicles are getting more interesting every day. It has been...

  Here's another icicle photo. I was pretty enthralled by the detail on the tip of this 'ice talon' (probably best viewed big). This is one of the few photos of it that didn't come out blurry. I hope my icicle photos don't get tiresome. Truth be to...

  Time stands still for no one. But at this time of year, it certainly seems to. This is another of my icicle macro photos. I thought it quite suitable for posting on the longest night of the year....

  Posted on Sunday December 20th, 2009 at 22:30 in metal, red, macro, light, silver, shiny, texture, snowboard bindings

  Graem bought a new snowboard, with boots and bindings to go with it. I thought the bindings would make a good subject for indoor macro photography and learning to use my off-camera flash. I like the shiny metal and the fact that there are so many i...

  Last weekend we went to Gatineau Park. I had been wanting to visit Gatineau Park ever since we moved to Ottawa, especially in the fall, as I had heard the leaves were spectacular.To be honest, the trip was a bit of a disappointment. It was late by ...

  This is Rudbeckia (or Brown-Eyed Susan). I admit that I cheated and bought a few for our yard, even though I had vowed not to get any more plants. I was looking them up on the internet, and found a site that referred to the leaves as "hairy, itchy,...

  Every time I've seen heliconia before, they have looked something like this. In Costa Rica, I saw a type of heliconia that was soft and fuzzy! The first time I noticed it was right after it rained. There were water droplets clinging to the fuzz. ...

  Posted on Saturday June 20th, 2009 at 01:54 in Costa Rica, macro, wood, texture, lichen

  These mosses and lichens were growing on a tree right on the beach near where we stayed in Costa Rica. I didn't actually notice the lichens until our second-last day there. I have other lichen photos that are more colorful, but I like this one beca...

  Posted on Tuesday June 2nd, 2009 at 00:06 in macro, wood, texture, driftwood, point and shoot, tofino, nght, red bubble rejects

  Tofino, British Columbia is my favorite place on the planet. Tropical beaches have a secure place in my heart (they're warm and you can swim without a 6mm full-body wetsuit!), but there's something about Vancouver Island that I love. I think I just...

  Posted on Thursday May 14th, 2009 at 02:45 in macro, fire, wood, burnt, texture, camrose

  I am always taking macro photos of wood. Perhaps it's a pathological thing. A piece of wood doesn't look like much from a distance, but up close there are so many different colors and textures to be seen. I have taken photos of driftwood, tree bar...
