An early Spring, I wish, my wife came home with a bunch of flowers. I could not resist taking some pictures. This iris just stated to open. Simply beautiful. Posted by Picasa

WINTER CONTINUES


Winter does not let up. More snow for the next few days. I can't wait for Spring. I always enjoyed the Winter season but for the first time I just long for some warmth and colour. Posted by Picasa

WINTER, NORTHERN ONTARIO


Today I went on a little photoshoot. It was sunny but very windy which made for some nice images with blowing snow. I took this picture when clouds started to move in with just a little sunlight and together with the blowing snow made a nice image reflecting a cold winter day. Posted by Picasa

CYCLAMEN


The Winter has really settled in. After digging out yesterday I really am looking for colour. By the way this picture is for Jan, an old student from way back, who surprised me with a very nice email. I am excited that she is studying photography and looking forward to see her work.

WINTER STORM


A big snowstorm overnight left a hugh amount of snow. I took this image early this morning while trying to pick up the morning paper from the box. It looks very romantic but of course I will have to get out to clean the drive way. Posted by Picasa

LOOKING FORWARD TO SPRING


Seeing the brightly coloured tulips on the table makes me look forward to Spring. Winter is nice but I miss the colours of the other seasons. Posted by Picasa

WINTER TRAIL, NORTH BAY, ONTARIO


Every day I snowshoe into the woods. Literature and art influence the way I experience landscapes. This abstact image reminds me of some of Jackson Pollock's paintings or the large abstracts by the Canadian artist Riopelle. Posted by Picasa

SNOW PRINCESS


Walking down the little trail across from our home I saw this snowcovered pine. I thought our six year old granddaughter would immediately recognize the tree as a magical winter princess. So todays image is for Kaitlyn. Posted by Picasa

DEAD MEN FROZEN IN ICE 3


My apologies for not posting but I was away for the weekend and did not have access to a computer. Kelly obviously liked the pictures but wondered if I had manipulated the pictures in Photoshop. Yes I did, in the first image I enhanced a red reflection in the sky while in the other images I simply darkened the sky and, using curves, enhanced the overall colour. I hope this answers your question Kelly. Posted by Picasa
