High Speed Photography

A number of weeks ago as we were driving home from the mountains I played around with creating some ICM images. Although the camera did not move very much, the vehicle was moving at a high rate of speed. Please only try this if someone else is doing the driving. Her are a few images that I was happy with. – Leslie

A spirit dances amongst the trees

I was recently editing images, when I noticed something different in this ICM (intentional camera movement) image. Can you see what I see? – Leslie

After the rain fell

After the rain fell and before the next storm moved in, I stepped outside to check on my garden. Now is the time when some of my Lilies (which are just finishing up) and Daylilies (which are beginning to flower) are in blossom at the same time. Last year they were hit by heavy hail and most were torn to shreds, it’s nice to see them looking so good, so far this summer. – Leslie

Just add water

What a difference a week of rain makes, my garden was slow to get started even with hand watering. Thank goodness for Mother Nature to lend me a helping hand. – Leslie

The Aurora last evening

It was a beautiful evening last night, while I sat on the back deck I was treated to a show of the Northern Lights above me. I watched it for awhile before I even got the camera out. – Leslie

Canada Day 2015 – 148 years old

As we go into Canada Day, we thought about what symbolizes Canada and for us the Common Loon is a top contender as it appears on our dollar coin (the Loonie) and it is found throughout most of Canada. Why not post an image or two, or maybe three, of such a grand bird that we recently took in Jasper National Park. (We’re changing the header at the same time)

Although many Canadians assume that the Common Loon is Canada’s National Bird, but surprisingly Canada doesn’t have an official bird. Hopefully by the time Canada turns 150 years old in 2017 we will finally have a national bird. If you want to weigh in on what bird you think symbolizes Canada the best, you can place your vote for Canada’s national bird on the Canadian Geographic website (http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/nationalbird/).

This is our salute to Canada Day, may it remain wild and free. Happy Canada Day everyone! – Leslie and Mark

Just a walk in the park

Just a walk in a park along the Fraser river in British Columbia. I got a chance to play with the camera and enjoy the beauty of the forest, on a trip I took back in February. – Leslie

Spring arrives in the garden

Our garden is a little wild in places, as we have encouraged wildflower species to grow whenever possible. One species that we encouraged is Goat’s-beard, also known as Yellow Salsify (Tragopogon dubius). Today I noticed that it is one of the first plants showing itself in our garden this year. A few years back Mark went out and took a few shots of the Goat’s-beard seed heads, this is one of the results of his morning in our garden. – Leslie

Short Bits – Fort Edmonton Park

Last week we went to Fort Edmonton Park with the Art Society of Strathcona County’s Photography group on one of their photography outings. It has been a very long time since Mark and I have been to the Fort, we both forgot how interesting the place is. Here are a few shots that I took while there. We are definitely planning on going back there to explore the area some more, the morning was just not enough time. – Leslie

Header change and a Short bit – Longing for the change to come

It’s snowing outside and I think it is time for a bit of spring, even if it doesn’t look this way yet.  So here are a few images to put a bit of cheer on the screen along with changing our websites header, looking forward to seeing some greenery soon! – Leslie
