I've come a long way.

A wintery scene with a sled trail in the foreground (I was pulling a sled full of water jugs to the fowl in the barn), looking across a valley to the other distant side. The sky has an odd yellowish colouring.

It's a new dawn

A sunrise image over a bay off the Atlantic ocean. The sun has just crested the horizon and is reflecting in the water. Trees are in silhouette on the right, and wispy clouds cover the sky with some reflection in the water.

A frozen creek as it descends a hill. The ice is beginning to show the light of the approaching blue hour. Trees line the ridge and beyond.

Me and my chick. Sadly we're not together anymore.

A selfie with my favourite chicken, Mooch, standing on my gloved hand. Mooch and 24 others like her plus geese and Indian runner ducks were of my responsibilities at a former job. We are standing in front of a pink barn.

Tew like waterfalls?

Peeking out from under cover.

#photography #bluehour #twilight #scape #ColorADay #BlueTue #EastCoastKin
A late evening lake image from the water. A darker blue layer of clouds stretches across the top but peeking out between it and the tree line are a couple white clouds being lit up to an orange/yellow by the setting sun. These cloud colours are then reflecting across the water.

Streaking snow.

#photography #bluehour #noedit #snow #BlueskyMonday #EastCoastKin
It was snowing during the evening blue hour and the flakes were being lit up by a flood light creating the light streaks. Shot at 1/17th of a second. Beyond the snow are trees and a garden shed on the right.

Some seasonal blues are acceptable.

A close up image of a decorative holiday light string on a fence. One blue light is in focus while the rest of the string is out of focus beyond it, creating bokeh in blue and white

Patinage sur le canal.

#photography #skating #ottawa #scape #UrbanGaze #HumansOfBluesky
Shot from a bridge, people skating on the Rideau canal in Ottawa. On the right is a bicycle path and road that parallels the canal. Many moons ago this was how I commuted to work. Summer, bicycle; winter, skate.

On the rocks on the balls.

#photography #billiards #WackyWednesdayArt #EastCoastKin
On a pool table with the balls racked for a break, a glass with ice cubes and an amber liquid sits on the balls. Through the glass the white cue ball is seen, and a pool cue is seen on the left of the glass, and through the glass.

Winter blues hour.

Get rid of winter blues by shooting them.

A winter scene with snow covered trees. Shot during the morning blue hour so the snow is blue instead of white.

You like arts? I craft.

A birch candelabra I created and gifted.

#photography #candelabra #diy #openhouse #BlueskyArtShow #EastCoastKin
Three birch candle holders I made. They are different heights and are secured together to form a candelabra. A length of hemp wick cord is tied around them for affect. They are sitting on the hood of my vehicle and reflecting on said hood. There are tea lights sitting atop them, but I made them so tapered candles could also be used.

Fir and glass facade.

Inside the remarkable corridor at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto. Designed by hometown boy and architect, Frank Gehry (RIP).

Cello music in the sky.

A cellist plays in a highrise building with a twilight sky behind him. In truth, behind him were many other highrises and a dreary sky. I erased those and sandwiched the image with that of a twilight sky from Georgian Bay.
