On the trip last weekend I was blown away by having got both this photo: And this photo: And I spent a good chunk of the trip dreaming of, and madly pursuing, having northern lights, stars and fireflies all in the same photo. I wanted it so badly I must have projected it out into…

Every year for 3 years going now Tito and I have maintained a tradition of road tripping for Canada Day – what better way to celebrate it? Here are some highlights from the weekend :) A panorama in Lake Superior Provincial Park. The cliff face on the left is where the Agawa pictographs are located.…

Whenever I tell this to someone, the answer is an incredulous ‘why?!’ (with a few exceptions among the very coolest people I know). The answer is because it’s gorgeous. From Sault Ste.

Here’s a place that totally failed to creep me out. 4 of us decided to spend a Saturday afternoon wandering around in some of the abandoned homesteads in the Peterborough area. Did I say 4 of us? I meant 2 of us, while 2 of us insisted on guarding the car ;)
