My Breakfast Companion

 

I was sitting out in the backyard this morning enjoying a coffee and reading the paper when I realized that I had company.

Smokin’

 

I decided to photograph smoke from burning joss sticks.  Hope you like the results. See if you can spot the duck in Incense 4.

Cherry Beach

Cherry Beach is one of my favourite places in Toronto to take pictures, particularly when the skies are cloudy and rain is threatening.

Lovebirds

When I recently put bird feeders in my backyard, these were the type of shots that I was hoping for.

A Quiet Afternoon with Friends

I spent part of the afternoon today in the backyard and took some shots of my feathered friends.

Waiting for Super Moon

 

While I was waiting for the super moon to rise, I took some shots of the sky.  One of them showed the moon just breaking behind some clouds while the other shows people waiting for the spectacle.

Super Moon

Last night, I went down to Lake Ontario to photograph the full moon at its closest point to the Earth.  With the reflection of the sun, the colours of both the moon and the sky were almost surreal and resembled a collage of pastel colours.

Sign of the Times??

Electric cars.  Hmmm.  Like it or not, here they come.  Is this what Toronto’s road network will look like in 50 years?

Goldfinches

I recently became interested in bird photography. There are a number of goldfinches in my area and I shot these photos in my backyard.  I have discovered that birds are not easy to photograph-they are small, quick and very timid.  However, their natural beauty makes the effort worthwhile.

Sunsets

As a photographer, there are few things more enjoyable for me than setting up my gear and getting ready to shoot sunsets.  These are two of my favourites-one of the Toronto skyline shot from Toronto Islands and the other shot from Mermaid Island in the Thousand Islands near Gananoque. The latter was the favourite view of my dear friend, Dave Hughes.
