IRIS

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.

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.

WASSI RIVER, CALLANDER, ONTARIO

I liked the contrast between the snow and the running
water.It made for a nice simple but still interesting image.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

DEAD MEN FROZEN IN ICE 2

I promised a few more images of Andrew van Schie'sproject. Here is a picture of the large column of ice.
