I was thinking about what to post as the last photo of 2010. This one seemed appropriate, as I always feel that every new year is an uncharted path full of potential and promise. And just as with this little guy, there's also the possibility of someone throwing bread at me from time to time.
HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE!
Check back tomorrow for the 5th instalment in my "Blog" eFolio series, aptly titled, "Blog 2010".
Only one day left in 2010. What a crazy year.
I need another foggy day like this. Either that, or we need some snow over here!
This was a really cool piece of property.
Remember harvest time, back in late September? It seems like such a long time ago.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!
A church all decorated for Christmas in Montreal.
Another angle of that amazing tree and indoor snow storm!
It was awesome! Happy winter, everyone!
Every year, the Eaton Centre in Toronto sets up a 3-story tall tree in the middle of the mall. It's covered with 20 000 Swarovski crystals.
We went down to the Eaton Centre yesterday. I love Christmas! By the way, Check out my YouTube page later on today to see a my digital short, "Christmas In Toronto". Yep, I filmed it.

This cathedral is across the street from my favourite hotel, The Queen Elizabeth hotel in Montreal. The Queen Elizabeth is where John & Yoko recorded "Give Peace A Chance", and in photos you can see the cathedral out their bedroom window.
A house, all by itself, in a field.
I made an image here about 5 years ago. I thought I'd come back and revisit.
I remember I had a difficult time trying to capture this scene. I wasn't sure how to approach it. I like how it turned out though.
I never did. I wonder what was around the bend.
Another image from that creepy, foggy golf course. Just to let you all know, I may be posting sporadically for the next few weeks as I'm in the middle of report card writing.
This is the same spot that I made a snowy image in a few years back. I won't tell you which one it is. See if you can figure it out!
Foggy driveways are awesome.
Even while I was there, those two sand tramps gave me the creeps. They reminded me of "Teletubbies" for some reason.
The short and winding road that leads to the next hole (I believe those were Paul's original lyrics).
I really like how these guys are spaced. It was an odd situation. I was photographing a body of water, heard the distinctive "honking", and swung my camera upwards to capture these guys. With the foggy, white sky as a backdrop, I had a split second to capture the minimalist image I had my head.
So that's how the Care Bears got up there!
Still not sure what it's watching over, though.
Corn fields are great, especially in fog!
I loved the carpet of leaves leading into the clearing.
This is where I made most of my "Pay Day" photographs.
This is right next to "Pay Day's" hangout. I haven't seen "Pay Day" in a while (that's my old horse friend).
Do you realize that all of my blog posts, beginning on October 26th to today, were made on the same day (minus the Halloween moon image). I still have around another month's worth of posts from that day. That was, by far, the most productive day of photography I've ever had.
Another image from that foggy forest.
Almost an abstract. You can barely see the separation in the trunks.
Trees in a puddle on a foggy day.
A recreation of an image I made back in, oh, 2005 I think. Same spot. Same foggy day. Different camera. Different person.
I thought this was a pretty neat scene, like something out of "Terminator".
A cool silhouette, against the foggy sky.
Taken from the bridge over the Credit River on McLaren Rd. in Caledon, ON.
I have a feeling that the horse in the middle of the three is actually a Llama. Not quite sure.
The entrance to one of my favourite haunts.
I swear, it was like a dream. Cool, but really creepy.
I've wanted to make an image of this tree for years. The foggy Sunday was a perfect opportunity.
If you know the Grange Equestrian Village, you'll know this house. I love it!
For the next month or so you'll see photos I made last Sunday. It was an amazing day!
It was a great, foggy weekend last week.
I really like the red and black contrast.
