Mount Washington, Prairie Meadows Photo Shoot.

Wispy clouds 

The forest 

I actually captured this little bird with my lens!

Prairie Meadows and Mount Washington Ski slopes in the background.

Prairie Meadows , a beautiful little pond

My favorite picture of the trees reflected in the water! 

Is the knot holding the wood in place????

Mount Washington in the background 

Look Closely and see what I saw, there is more here than just the wood!

A little butterfly landed on the flower !

Coombs Ice Cream Store, Goats on the Roof Marketplace


I was watching all the people going into the ice cream store when this window caught my eye. I was taking this picture when a lady came out and peered upwards towards where I was aiming. She asked me " What are you taking a picture off?" I replied, "I am a photographer and am taking a picture of this window, see how the light fixture shows up in the window and watch, see the water droplets coming down?" She replied." I thought you saw a bird nest or something. But now I see, I guess that is why you are a photographer." Quite the revelation for me! And if you look close, you will see four little spots on the center top of the window, the water droplets that I was trying to capture. Hmmm, more adjustments in speed and aperture to catch what I wanted to really catch. A learning curve for me and more to try out.

Dragonfiles in the most unusual place!


Thinking of my sister when I saw these dragonflies hanging around a pole in Coombs at the Goats on the Roof Marketplace. What a wonderful place to explore and spend a afternoon. Lots of neat little shops, I was fasinated with the whole atmosphere. Definately worth a trip to visit if you are in the area, as there is a fanatastic market place and a wonderful hippie hat store! The owner of which is priceless.

Life has been busy

Busy busy and I haven't been able to post on my blog, but have been busy out and about taking photos. Here's one to share! Taken in Cowichan Bay, Victoria Island , my favorite place to be.
Now, take a close look and see if you can figure out what it is a picture of. Hint: a reflection on the water of something that floats on top. Let me know what you think it is! Have fun and have a beautiful day! :)

Cowichan Bay, Vancouver Island


A little jaunt to my favorite seashore spot, Cowichan Bay and I always find something to shoot with my camera. Hmm, can you guess where this is there ? What store? The red shoe reminds me of my Mother and I know she would love this picture!

Elegance

 




















On my jaunt down to Cowichan Bay, my favorite place to hang out with my camera, I spied two Swans floating elegantly around by the land houses. Ahh, snapping on my telephoto lens, I quickly made my way down the ramp to the dock, sneaking around the float homes, I quietly made my way as close as I could to the two of them. Patient is a virtue and I took lots of shots of them floating back and forth, actually, this picture was taken just before the swan got pissed off at me and hissed!

Sidney Spit, Vancouver Island BC


I really love this photo taken on Sidney Spit! Taken of the huge pieces of driftwood and logs left there including the old shoring logs to help keep the sand from eroding. Capturing my brother in it, says so much and really tells a story that your imagination brings you. Is it a story of loss, grief, or carrying on. Or joy and laughter? Hmmm.

Fanny Bay, Vancouver Island

Off on one my weekend adventures and wound up at Fanny Bay on the East coast of Vancouver Island. The Oyster boats were tied up at the dock and this rope caught my eye and camera of course!
They are very trusting fishermen as I am not sure I would be with this frayed knot in the rope! But then, they can tie knots a whole lot better than this landlubber fisherwoman wanna be! :)
