What an experience to stand among these giants ... what they must have experienced in the centuries they have been standing vigil.

elders of the forest
Working on some images of trees lately I realized that I had never posted any from my visit to Cathedral Grove on Vancouver Island back in August 2011.

forest sentry
In addition to just getting out and enjoying a walk on a new trail with Lynn and Murphy, it's a bonus when I come across a great scene to photograph.
On Saturday, the mid-afternoon temperature was around -9*C and we were hiking a section of the Cambridge Mill Run Trail west of Guelph Ave. Following the path along the Speed River we could see Murphy's breath in the cold air as he took the point like he always does. There's something about a hike on cold, crisp, bright days ...

Arboretum Sunrise
Lynn usually walks Murphy in the morning, but she was in TO this weekend so I decided to take him with me to the Arboretum ... along with a camera.
It was a brisk and refreshing walk along a series of connecting paths through the grounds. I was heading for a favourite stand of birches to see if the sun had risen enough to throw some warm morning light on them. I turned to head through the English Garden when I caught the sun just over the horizon.
A couple of dog treats kept Murph busy while I composed and made a few images. I like the limited colour pallet presented by this winter morning scene.

succumbed
My annual trip up to Tobermory between Christmas and New Years Day started out on the 27th in grey drab conditions that soon turned to rain. I eagerly anticipate some of the first real winter conditions of the season to set the tone on this trip. Needless to say, I was not enthused by rain ... until it turned to sleet, then wet-snow and eventually large fluffy flakes falling near vertically as we turned east back to Hwy 6 from Red Bay.
The road passed by a large wetland marked with barren, near dead trees. The snow was so heavy at this point, it provided a fog like background and some surreal atmosphere for my images. As I walked along the roadside working different compositions, a branch of one fallen tree seemed to be reaching up as it succumbed to the wetlands grasp.
... another very successful photo trip, with (hopefully) more images to come in this blog ... before they succumb to the wasteland of my hard-drive.

First Light 2012
... again, the challenge, "First Light" of the New year.
First Light 2012
Shot for our annual "First Light Challenge". This year 3 of us went out in Guelph to capture the first light of 2012. It was tough sluggin' since sunrise at 7:54 am was masked by a thick blanket of cloud throwing only cold blue diffused light over everything. After walking away from this bridge to shoot nearby, I noticed a small break in the cloud on the horizon and returned to scurry back down the riverbank to compose this shot with the light under the bridge ... shot at 8:09 am, just after official sunrise.
Thanks to Allan England (no relation that I know of) and his images on flickr for reminding me that Ultra-Wide rocks. I grabbed my EF-S 10-22 to take with me on this mornings outing and used it for this image.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012 !!
