Sunday Stills: It’s National #Beach Day— Inland Seas and the Wandering Heart
Whether it’s been playing and frolicking with family or slow, introspective walks alone, I’ve spent many an enjoyable hour on a beach — with or without my camera. I’ve found sea glass, shells — even a perfect starfish on Clearwater Beach — driftwood, glass bottles (no messages), and so much more. I enjoy my beach…

Sunday Stills: The Odonates Redux* — Gargantuan Green

Sunday Stills: Mediocre Reflections of Beautiful Summer Locations.
Photographs that feature or highlight reflections on water are amongst my favourites. Truth is, this is not a genre I spend much time on myself (which will very quickly become apparent). I must admit, though, that it was fun to assemble these shots. Thank you Terri! ↑ Ouse Creek, Trent Hills, ON.Just south of this…

Sunday Stills: The Power of Three — Triads in Agriculture
My Cam, a bona fide farmer himself, always marvels (read: chuckles) at how a city girl — through and through — like me, became such a lover and admirer of farmers, farms and everything they entail. But I do. Very slow, leisurely rural rambles, at all times of the year, are one of my favourite…
