Today the weather wasn't really supposed to cooperate according to the meteorologists, and so a nearby trip was planned given lighting might not be ideal. As it turned out the sun came out, and a great day was have following Great Horned Owls around. The Humber Arboretum has proven to be an excellent place for... Continue Reading →
Today I had a nice and also lucky outing at Guelph Aboretum. I've read reports the past few weeks about a Barred Owl being spotted in the area and after failing to locate one in another park after at least 5 visits, I thought I'd try Guelph today. A number of birder/photographers were walking around... Continue Reading →
Today with the unseasonable 10 degree temperature, a trip was needed to take advantage of the weather. Mountsberg Conservation Area in Halton was the destination, the target was birds of prey. Shortly after arriving, we ran into one of the staff taking a gorgeous Gyrfalcon for a training session with people in the outdoors. This... Continue Reading →
Last weekend, I had a few excellent trips to the Humber Arboretum. I've somehow never ended up there during the spring or summer and I definitely plan on it this coming spring, but I do manage to go during the winter. The past few visits to the arboretum, I've seen a wide range of smaller... Continue Reading →
On a bike ride near home one day I spotted some rather impressive graffiti in an area where city staff don't bother to paint over it. I was so impressed that I went back a second time with the camera to capture some of this great work. I can't read all the text but regardless,... Continue Reading →
After the experience of taking only one 50mm prime lens, I decided to head out this time with a 28mm lens, which is almost a wide angle. I visited the same area of the Etobicoke Creek ravine as I had last time, and using the 28mm I enjoyed hunting for something different that this lens... Continue Reading →
Getting ready to go for a fall hike along the creek, I would normally get my backpack ready with a range of lenses, and head out. This time, I decided to use a minimalist approach, and left the bag behind. Armed with only a camera and one 50mm prime lens (ie only one focal length),... Continue Reading →
If you want to roam around a cool quaint small town, Elora near Guelph fits the bill. We walked along the gorge, snuck down into the gorge and roamed in the Grand River, and also checked out some local ruins. Some of the attached photos were created with HDR processing and Luminosity software for HDR.... Continue Reading →
The birds in this post have been nesting on my laptop for a few weeks and I'm finally getting around to sharing them. Over the Canadian May 2-4 weekend I managed two trips to Tiny Marsh and I must say, it was probably the best birding I'll do all year! Tiny Marsh is my go-to... Continue Reading →
This post is from last weekend, when I had yet another excellent outing at Tiny Marsh. If you follow this blog you know I love heading over to Tiny Marsh in Tiny Township. I visit the marsh in every season but spring is by far the most exciting time to go. Even before you see... Continue Reading →
