Water and rocks may be where my heart is, but Tito loves giant trees, so a trip along the 101 Coastal highway would not be complete without a visit to see the giant redwood forests. We stopped at the roadside attraction ‘Trees of Mystery’ with its giant Paul Bunyan statue and bizarre tree formations, then…

Bandon Beach was one of those places that was high on the list for Oregon; I’d seen photos of the amazing rock formations and was really looking forward to shooting there, especially during the dusk, and at nighttime, where I was hoping for great sunsets and stars with low light pollution. Unfortunately that wasn’t to…

Just a few shots of the sunset in a small coastal town called Yachats. Yachats is off the 100, just north of Cape Perpetua, and it’s where we stayed while we were shooting Thor’s Well. The colours in these shots are straight out of the camera. I am using my Lee Filter system with a…

I was going to bundle these pics in with the photos of Bandon Beach, but when I looked them over I realized they deserved their own post-the landscape is so very different. Bullards Beach is an area that we passed through while looking for Bandon Beach. It’s white and sandy and sunny and that’s where all…

Isn’t that a great name? A few years ago I found a place on Pinterest called ‘Thor’s Well’. Thor’s Well is a sea cave that caved in on itself leaving behind a 20 foot deep hole, and it’s on the Oregon coast. Then and there I decided that I had to visit Oregon and shoot that…

The second fiber shop we visited in Portland is an adorable store tucked away in the très-cool Pearl neighbourhood, called, appropriately, Pearl Fiber Arts. I was greeted by the super friendly Cindy, who showed me around the product-packed store, highlighting the local yarns and fibers when my eyes alighted upon the coolest stuff. They have…

Knit Purl is a shop that, for a start, looks very awesome from the outside. I can say this because the first time we found it was on July 4th–so I spent lots of time looking through the windows and wanting very much to be inside. The store has a very warm atmosphere, with a…

I tried to be all sneaky and pre-program blog posts to run while I was away, specifically to avoid the inevitable blog-death that accompanies a dearth of posts… except that I optimistically thought I’d be blogging again the second I got home… and that was wrong. Last week, Tito and I traveled for what, honestly,…

For Canada Day weekend (these photos are late, I know) we spent a few days at a cottage in Collingwood with my family. The back of the cottage went right out to the water, and I endured many a mosquito to get these pics, but they were totally worth it!

For Canada Day I always like to share some photos of this stunning country I am lucky to live in :) This year, here is a selection of my photography from one of our favourite drives – Toronto to Winnipeg, across the top of lake Superior. Enjoy!
