Little Dirt Road

I made my way up north to take advantage of the interesting sky conditions following our slight encounter with what became Tropical Storm Irene.

A Hole In The Clouds

It was an odd break before the storm hit us.

Centre Island Reflections

I always like a good, reflective shot.

A Twisted Tree

This was an interesting tree I came upon while on Ward's Island in Toronto a couple of weeks ago.

Lineup On The Danforth

Probably waiting for shawarma.

Lined Field & Tree

A pre-harvest field.

Grasshopper On A Christmas Light

This guy managed to make his way up to our 6th floor balcony to hang out with us on a Christmas light. Of course, never being one to miss an animal shot, I ran to get my camera.

Storm Over Toronto

Another image made on Ward's Island. I love the Toronto skyline!

Butterfly On Ward's Island

A friend of mine hurriedly called me over to a plant she was standing near. I ran over with my camera in time to capture a few images of this guy.

A Toronto Postcard

Hey, just because everyone makes this image when they visit the Toronto islands, doesn't mean I can't join in. I like to explore the world of cliche just as much as the next photographer!

Summer Clouds

A very white and fluffy afternoon.

Command Button

Playing with the macro fish-eye I bought.

The Very Best

Now here's something you don't see everyday. Talk about aggressive business practises!

A Wheat Field In Caledon

The harvest is fast approaching!

Ferris Wheel In Toronto

Another iPhone long exposure.

The Tea Cups

A bunch of us went to the "Taste of the Danforth" Greek festival in Toronto yesterday. I was playing around with my iPhone, experimenting with long exposures. Here's one of the images.

The Creatures I've Known: An eFolio

I've added a new "eFolio" to my ever growing list of titles. This one, entitled "The Creatures I've Known", features animal portraits that I've taken over the years. My eFolios are free to download, are in .pdf format, and are optimized for your tablet's bookshelf (e.g., iPad). You can download this and my other titles here:

Enjoy!

8th Line Waterfall

I've never been a fan of the long exposure, misty water thing, but I was at a waterfall yesterday and thought, "What the heck".

In And Out

He looks like an Olympic diver except that, being a bird, he dives out of water.
