Feathered Friends....

Happy New Year!!

Sorry I haven't posted lately...We were busy with family/friends. We then went to the Cottage near Algonquin Park for 3 days. We took a couple of Brooke's friends with us as well this time. We had lots of fun and the kids enjoyed sledding, skating, playing the Wii and board games while at the cottage. On our last day there, we went hiking in Algonquin. We didn't see ANY moose, but we did see the feathered friends below as well as a pine marten, a squirrel and woodpeckers.

Anyway, here are a couple of cute shots that I got of a Gray Jay and a Chickadee. The chickadees ate out of our hand and the gray jays came close, but would not eat from our hand. We did throw seeds in the snow and they came down from their perches after we moved away a bit to eat the seeds.

More pictures soon...

If you are on Facebook and have an interest in Photography I have created a group called "The Shooting Gallery", where I will be posting tips as well as more of my pictures. I hope you will consider joining us!

Merry Christmas to All!!

I hope you all have a GREAT Christmas Holiday....Here is a picture I took of my new snowman---a cute decoration I received from my friend Lorrie! I thought it was perfect to be my Christmas greeting this year!

Farm Friends

Here are some new farm friends. Keturah is now doing her riding lessons at a farm in Odessa and here are some pictures of a few critters that live there.

1st-Bailey
2nd-Thor
3rd-Ziggy (the horse Keturah rides)

Gizmo!

Here are some shots of a cute Pug, named Gizmo. Gizmo lives in Ottawa and is owned by Sheena and Steve. We are lucky that we usually get to see him when we visit Ottawa. He so cute and always looks like he's happy!

B & W Architectural Shots

Hello Everyone!

Today for your viewing pleasure are some shots I had to do for an assignment for my photography course...Yep, black and white pictures! I'm not a big fan of black and white photography, for my own shots anyway, but I do like other's work..like Ansel Adams for one! Anyway, I was trying to think what would look good in black and white and thought that something "old" would suffice, so both of these fit the bill...by the way, I submitted the church picture for my assignment and got 10 out of 10!!!

Here are shots of Christ Church on Tyendinaga Territory and a shot of a barn on the outskirts of Deseronto.

Enjoy!

Furry Feline Friends!

Here are some shots of our furry friends in Ottawa. These guys are called Bailey (1st pic) and Mickey (2nd) and are owned by Anne and Fred. We went down for a long-overdue visit last weekend and I love trying to get good shots of them..sometime they are willing models and other times, not so much! Oh well, I had fun!

Farm Cuties!

Here are some cute horses from the farm. Keturah and I went to the Royal Winter Fair and Horse Show on Friday and saw a lot of awesome horses, among other animals as well as some championship jumpers! We had a long tiring day, but it was worth it and I can't wait to go next year!

Here are: Casey, Jerome, Logan, Nikki and BJ hanging out around the farm!
