Tito and I are taking off to Montreal today :) I promised I wouldn’t take my camera or computer (knitting, of course, is still coming. To do otherwise would be madness). To get my shutterbug out of my system I went out an hour before dawn this morning to snap some shots of the beautiful…

We’ve had a hawk take up residence in the Toronto Music Garden. The little birds are not having an easy time of it, they’re not used to having a predator in their midst. Poor little buggers! I can’t deny though, it is a lovely bird.

Recently I purchased a Lee Filter system for my camera. I was dubious as to the worth of an on-camera filter system – after all, Lightroom has a graduated filter built in where I can adjust exposure, white balance etc. However, having taken it for a walk I can honestly say that being able to…

Yesterday we were promised snow, and lots of it. Because I am short sighted and forgetful, when 7 pm passed and the snow failed to arrive I went out for dinner… in heels. Cue the snow! By the time I got home (thank goodness for the mobile, heated, oasis-on-wheels known as cars) it was a…

Yesterday I had to do some photography from the CN Tower as part of a project (it’s a tough gig, I know) and I got to thinking about what an amazing engineering achievement the tower is. My father is fond of telling me about how he and a friend spent April 2nd, 1975 lying on…

Toronto has got a gorgeous new yarn store, and it’s right in the middle of downtown; Ewe Knit is located in Mirvish Village, just one block south, and one block west of Bathurst and Bloor. The front features a comfy coffee shop stocked with goodies. The inside… oh the inside! It explodes with colour and fibery…

Each piano is painted by a local artist, and they’re all beautiful. This piano…

If, on the other hand, you adore bugs, then enjoy! All these photos are from our weekend walk at the Leslie Street Spit. Shot with the Canon 7D and Canon’s 100mm prime f2.8 macro lens. The last one is my favourite :)

Tito and I went north again last night – in hopes of aurora hunting after sunspot AR 1520 delivered a massive X-class flare directly to earth. We’re getting quite adept at finding these things ;) We got our best shots not 1.5 hours from downtown Toronto – just outside of Barrie, south of Mt. St.…

Blogging from Calgary tonight, and feeling totally beat. It’s 12:30 am according to my body, and I’m getting up at 4:30 to shoot the blue hour. However, I am travelling and shooting and being paid to do my 2 favourite things, so I can hardly complain about being tired. Oh, and I got a new…
