Feeling truly grateful this week for the shifts that are happening for me, with arms wide open! Much like this flower!

The Beauty of Nature in Winter

One of my favourite reasons for enjoying snowmobiling is being out in nature. The white snow, so pure and clean.

Southgate In The Fall

The other night as I left work a wee bit later than normal, the sky was bright and blue, the sun shining and lowering in the sky.

Spring on the lake | Lake Huron

Every Spring I look forward to seeing the geese and their babies. Although these birds are very dirty, I appreciate that they share their babies with the cottagers on the beach. Every spring there is at least one new family, sometimes more, which graces us with their presence and allows me to photograph them. MyContinue reading “Spring on the lake | Lake Huron”
