Dawn of a second Decade ...

Committed to continue and looking for the way forward on this journey, a return to the past seemed a good start ...

de' light at dawn

On a morning walk along the Eramosa River, west from Rockwood to the mill ruins and Rockwood Falls, the arrival of light filtering through a thin morning mist provided a wonderful tranquil atmosphere. 

My presence startled not one but two Great Blue Herons into flight at separate locations along the way, prompting me to take note for a return in stealth, prepared with gear that might allow me to get a decent GBH image or two.

Continuing along the trail, memories of past visits played through my mind as familiar scenes and presented themselves. Blissfully lost in the moment, I turned around to see this ... simply delightful scene.

I was busy most of this past weekend participating in a local Help Portrait event in Fergus ON. It's the second year a local event has been held and that I have been involved. This year was as enjoyable and as much fun as last year. 

All the images taken at the event were collected, printed and given to the clients so I wasn't able to bring any back. The plan is to provide the photographers with the files later, so I hope to have some images to share in the near future.


For this week's photo it's back to Rockwood from a week ago. My return visit to the conservation area on a misty Sunday morning provided more than enough images to choose from, this one in colour after working through a number processed in B&W.

Now that colours have disappeared in the throes of fall, this weekend I decided on an outing to Rockwood Conservation Area and to shoot entirely in black and white.

The day started out with fog slowly dissipating as we drove to the location but a light mist remained for most of the morning to add some atmosphere to the images. The trail along the north side of the river did manage to provide some some nice scenery and with the water level about a metre lower than normal, the area had taken on a different look.

I enjoyed the outing so much that when I woke up to fog again on Sunday, I decided to head back before driving to see my mother. Together the outings produced a number of decent images and reminded me that I need to visit this location more often.
