With my background in real estate photography, I am so accustomed to shooting photos in bright light. This one goes against my grain but that’s the fun of it - challenging ourselves to do the out of the ordinary. This was taken very early one morning in October outside a Mennonite church north of Waterloo. Morning is so magical. You can almost “hear” the silence in this photo.
Fall colours while we still have them!
This photo is from early October but I thought I’d post this before too long. The colours change so quickly! This was shot on an off the beaten path kind of dirt road north of Waterloo.
Here's looking at you
Life on the farm, rural Waterloo Region.
It's such a nice day
Saw this while on a trip up north
It’s not Fine Art but the message is great!
Rural Waterloo Region - Apple Orchard
Beautiful apple trees with farms in distance. Rural Waterloo Region just north of town on the road to Heidelberg.
I love the view down to the farms!
Beautiful Rural Waterloo Region
Taken earlier this year... I love the misty look and vantage point from the hill!
It almost reminds me of a Grandma Moses type painting - there are a few spots in our area that have such scenes.
Owen Sound photo
A trip to Owen Sound a few months ago - how I love shooting black and white!
February Snow
I had the opportunity to travel twice to the Fergus/Elora area last week. Taking the side roads I found this:
See how the snow flies off the roof! Also note the broken barn door - you can see right through the barn to the field behind. Very snowy day.
Post-blizzard in January
Here are two photos from my travels today in the Waterloo region- shot just south of the highway 401 on the Dickie Settlement road.
The weather was just post-blizzard and you can see it in the images. It has a certain kind of look which is hard to describe in words.
I am not sure why but I have given it the name of "four fields". I was drawn to the way each field was "indented" like a paragraph. If you look at the trees in the background you can see they have been through the "blizzard mill". The light was poor but the white snow on the trees interested me. And the colours. It's not an outstanding photo in my opinion but it is interesting.
I call this one "sign and vine" :-) If you look close you can see the tendrils on the vine. The odd shape to this caught my eye. And it has that "post-blizzard" look.

Throwback Friday... a photo from my files
Hello my dear viewer!
I want to share with you one of my favourite photos from my files.
This is from a Mennonite area of Waterloo region, just south of highway 86 if my memory is correct. I was driving back from a real estate shoot and noticed this scene. It was in September (2017) and the some of the fields had this lovely chocolate brown crop (dried I suppose). Interspersed was this fluffy white flower. It really caught my eye!
I edited the photo with even more brown tones to bring out what I saw.
This would be a great piece of wall art for your dining room or hallway. This could be printed on paper, wood or metal. A spotlight on the photo would also bring out the white flowers.
Enjoy!

I love trees
This one says to me " I stand tall, healthy, proud and beautiful"
Peeping Tom!
Ok... I like cats. A lot. But they can be ... weird.
Sometimes cats look inside windows from the outside. I have seen it!
Here is one I saw the other day. Caught in the act.
Who.. me?
A couple years back I filmed a house where the neighbours cat was seen looking in the window from the outside. It was hilarious. The owners were like "there's nothing we can do - this cat just wants to watch us!" And there it was. Luckily I had a camera on me lol. I call this cat "the peeping Tom". Look at its expression. It's priceless.
