Seeing Blue

Last year I stumbled on a place where I was able to get shots of ice against the blue sky. I've been waiting all year to return to the same spot but I had to wait for the right conditions. Today was perfect! I knew the tide would be out which gave me access to the ice I needed to make these shots. Here are a few of my favorites from today. I just love that blue!

East on Highway 107

Today I went to visit an area that had been largely destroyed by a forrest fire back in 2008. Between exits 17 and 19 on highway 107 you'll see the remnants of the fire on both sides of the road. Although there was substantial damage you can tell it is slowly coming back to life. Below are two photos from the area. The first is snow on the top part of a stump. I used two exposures for this image. One for the snow, the second for the wood.

Ice Patterns

I'm always looking for patterns in anything. Sometimes you just have to bring them out.

The Depth of Snow

It was -19C when I took this photo. I was at Lawrencetown beach after a light snow fall. I thought it was cool how the snow fell "around" the rock. I used the lines from the boardwalk to help me achieve depth.
