I encountered this amazing dramatic light near Paradise, NL during my trip there this past spring. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much around to put in front of it. I was working on a composition when my travel companion drove our rental car into the scene. At first I was annoyed, but then I decided to go with it.
Here’s something a little bit different from the archives. I don’t think I’ve posted this one before. This is the Big Tub Lighthouse in Tobermory, Ontario, photographed from in the (ICY 🥶 cold) water, with the lens half submerged and the camera in an underwater case. One of my only regrets about leaving Toronto when I did is that I had to cancel a trip back to Tobermory that I had booked to try some more underwater photography. Someday I’ll return!
These saucy little yellow rumped warblers are one of our first signs of spring. They seem to arrive several weeks before any of the others and they are the only ones that take advantage of our suet feeders. (And they’ll fight larger birds to keep their spot).
Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦 🎆🎇. How lucky we are to live in this beautiful country ☺️
If you enjoyed my takeover on the @cbcnewbrunswick account yesterday, check out their website today, for a full article about my nature photography tips! Photo from the Swallow Tail Lighthouse on Grand Manan Island. The actual lighthouse is behind me in this scene, the sunset was not cooperating.
The bees 🐝 had a rough Spring. Plant lots of flowers! I created this image a few years ago when I was reviewing the @venuslaowa 15mm macro lens. The wide angle macro can create a really unique perspective, but can be challenging to use. For instance, in this photo, I was a lot closer than either the bee or I was completely comfortable with.

I came across this photo of the Swallow Tail Lighthouse on Grand Manan Island recently, and I just love the soft colours. I think I haven’t shared up until now because of my frustration in being unable to get the lines straight. The angle at which the boardwalk approaches the lighthouse makes it extremely difficult, but aside from that, I think this is the most beautiful lighthouse in Canada. Yup, better than Peggy’s Cove. That’s right, I said it 😝.

Does anyone else get super stressed when there’s an amazing sunset while you’re driving, and you’ve got nothing to put in front of it? I knew if I could get up to this lookout, it would be the perfect view, but the road is full of potholes (and deer!) and by the time I got up there, I’d missed the peak. Still, this view was worth a few bumps...and getting eaten by mosquitoes. 🌅🦟
