Right back in the water

There’s nothing quite like a hot summer’s afternoon on the water.

This photo was one of my favourites in a series I took during the Canada Day long weekend. It embodies the comforts and true beauty of the Durham Region.

Frenchman’s Bay in Pickering, On. is one of my favourite lake access destinations … although, you won’t find me swimming in it anytime soon.

Rockin shades

Whether it’s driving through Durham’s back roads or swimming in sparkling Caribbean waters, these pink Boathouse shades are a must-have, at least for me.

What can I say? I have sensitive eyeballs.

The little things

One of my main goals this summer: find loveliness in the smallest of things.

We are constantly surrounded by worldly charms – whether it’s outside our front door, en route to work, or vacationing at Blue Mountain. Beauty is simply everywhere.

To help me accomplish – or at least try to accomplish – this project,  I recently purchased a Sigma 70-300mm macro telephoto zoom lens.

There’s a world out there

My 3-year-old tabby cat Jimmy Dean is a beautiful, quirky, and energetic thing. He’s constantly getting himself into trouble – stealing jewelry, unravelling toilet paper, and chewing on television cords.

But I’m never mad at him for long. It’s hard to stay angry at a face like this.

Deep greens and blues are the colours I choose

James Taylor sings, “With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go … ” – and for so long I’ve tried to capture those words in a photo.

I think I’m getting close.
