2017 - The Beginning of a New Year

2017-01-09T23:45:00.001-04:00

Welcome 2017. It is the beginning of a New Year, so why not start of the year with a sunrise.

My goal is actually post more photographs online this year.

Here and There Around New Brunswick

2015-08-29T21:58:00.001-03:00

Well it has several months since I have had the chance to sit down and really think about posting something. It is hard to believe that the last time I posted something was back in April. Where has the time gone?

This is a picture of the the Gorge in St. George, New Brunswick. I love photography water in slow motion. I love how it looks and will never get tired of it. I try to visit this area whenever i am in the area.

This is a picture of the supports under Darlings Island Covered Bridge, located on the Hammond River just outside of Saint John, New Brunswick. This river is one of my favorite places to go fishing.

This is Fuller Falls, which is located along the Fundy Parkway, which lies just outside of St. Martins, new Brunswick. In the fall, this park is an absolutely beautiful place to visit. The volume of water on the falls varies throughout the year. Here, like many other places, it has been a relatively dry summer

What can I say, it is a bunch of ropes on a bollard. This picture was taken in Chance Harbor, New Brunswick.

Spring 2015

2015-04-18T00:08:00.000-03:00

It has been almost a month since I have posted any pictures. The beginning of April, finally brought use some relief from the snow with warmer temperatures, rain and fog.

On April 4, 2015 I was out for a drive in one of the local parks and noticed this huge bird mingling with the ducks . I really was not sure what it was and as I got closer, it raised its head. At that point I realized it was an eagle and just stopped the car. Due to the weather, I had to handhold the camera with the telephoto lens and try to get the picture from the car. The bird tried to take off a couple of times with its catch, but could not get airborne.

What amazed me is that the remaining ducks with still swimming around no more than 10-15 feet away

The following Saturday, April 11, 2015, Kyle and I went for a trip down the coast with my parents

One thing I love to capture on film is moving water. In order to get the picture that I wanted, I had to handhold the camera and used two circular polarizing filters to get a 1 second exposure in bright sunlight.

What a Start to 2015

2015-03-24T22:12:00.001-03:00

Well what a start to the year. To think that at the end of January we really had no snow. Since then we have had storm after storm after storm. The amount of snow over the past 6 weeks have broken a few records for the area. With the coming of spring I am going to try to start posting again.

About 3 weeks ago, my father and I went for a walk on a beach near Black River, New Brunswick

A walk down the beach allows you to get up close and personal with a small cliff face. The recent cold weather result in some spectacular ice formations.

There was lots of little treasures among the rocks in the rocks.

My plans for the rest of the year will be to try to post something on a weekly basis.

52 Week Challenge 2015

2015-01-12T21:33:00.000-04:00

Well it is once again that time of the year and I have decided to try the 52 week challenge for 2015. I have tried this in the past, but was never able to complete the challenge. I will have a delayed start as a result of a test I need to write by the end of the month.

Week ??? What happened?

2014-04-18T14:05:00.001-03:00

Well it has been months since I have a chance to sit down and think about posting. It has been a long winter and I for one am happy to see it gone. The snow around here is finally gone and all the kids are out on their bikes.

The past two months I have been studying for a certification test, which I finally passed. So now, two out of three tests complete. the final one will like be the harder of the three. My goal is to try to post on a more regular basis.

Week 3 - Sentimental Journey

2014-01-22T22:33:00.003-04:00

Well my choice for week 3 is Sentimental Journey. The following series of pictures were taken at Hammond River, where I have spent a lot of time over the years. Usually the water levels are only this high during the early spring. During this time of the year, this area is usually all ice and snow.

Week 2 - Take a pair of Sparkling Eyes

2014-01-19T20:51:00.001-04:00

Well I a little late getting this posted, but it was taken during week 2 of 2014. We had lots of snow and then an ice storm in 2013. To start of the new year, the temperature warmed up and we got lots of rain. I decided to take my son up to the river to check out the flooding and snapped this picture while we were there.

Country Road (Challenge - Week 1)

2014-01-06T19:01:00.005-04:00

Well I went for a drive on the weekend and decided I would go with the theme of country road. Not far from where I live is a nice little country road, and with the recent ice storm I thought it might make for an interesting picture.

01 January 2014 - The beginning of Week 1

2014-01-01T13:46:00.001-04:00

Happy New Year!!! Well it is another year and another challenge. I am really going to try to complete it this year. My goal this year is to post a new photo(s) by Sunday at the latest. I have decided to do the 52 week challenge as it is a little more realistic. . I look forward to looking at the various photos from all over the planet. Here in New Brunswick, Canada it is a sunny day with a temperature of -18C with a wind chill of -29C. We recently had an ice storm and all the trees look like giant glass/crystal formations. It is really something to see in the sunlight (photos to come later)

Week 12 - Quiet

2013-05-10T22:52:00.001-03:00

Back in March I was in Halifax for a few days, which allowed me to goto one of my favorite places, Peggy's Cove, NS. In March, with no tourists it is a quiet place to go. I always make a point to go there when possible.

Week 18 - Night/Dusk

2013-05-10T22:16:00.003-03:00

It has been a few months since i have posted anything. It has been difficult to make time to post pictures that i have been taken over the past few months.

This picture was taken on the Evening of May 1 on the shores of Loch Lomaond lake in the outskirts of Saint John, NB. We have been having some incredible weather over the past couple of weeks.

09 February 2013 - Week 3 Picture

2013-02-09T07:12:00.000-04:00

Well it has been almost a month since i have posted something. Where does tthe time go? I have been busy with to many other things over the past 4 weeks and on the days that I was free and could get out, it was too cold. Today we are once again at the mercy of mother nature as we get hit with a blizzard. Will have to see what creative ideas we can come up with inside the house. For my Week 3 picture, I went with wildlife.

2013-01-01T12:32:00.001-04:00

December 31, 2012

2012-12-31T22:30:00.001-04:00

Well this year is almost over. Only about 90 minutes left to 2012 here in Atlantic Canada. In 2013, I will try to do better with the photo challenge. I think i will try the once a week categories this year. That may work out better for me and throughout the week, if i get a chnce to post additional photos from the 365 day list, I will do so. Wishing everyone a Happy New Years and look forward to all your photos.

Days Missed

2012-10-03T00:21:00.001-03:00

Well here it is at 0018 hrs ADT and i thought i would put up a quick post. I missed the past two days due to those unexpected obstacles that life likes to through at you.I shall try to bring one of my cameras with me in my travels later today...after I get some much needed sleep.

Day 273 - Signs

2012-09-29T23:00:00.001-03:00

Day 273 - Signs

Well there is a bit of a gap between Day 40 and today, Day 273. What have I have been doing to cause me to miss two whole seasons. It has been a busy 6 months with so many things on the go, that to have time to sit down and blog just got lost in the shuffle.

Today I took my son to "Touch a Truck" here in the port city of Saint John, New Brunswick. It was a cold wet day, but there was a huge turn out.

I did not realize it at the time, but this was a sign of a coming headache. What happens when you take several dozen trucks wit horns and sirens and add in a hundreds of kids....

You guessed it....a lot of noise and a pounding headache. In the end it was well worth it. He had a blast. I really hope that this becomes an annual event.

Day 40: 03 March 2012

2012-03-03T21:29:00.000-04:00

My mother-in-law bought my son some new boots for Easter and we went over so he could pick out which ones he wanted. He picked these boots with the truck on them instead of the ones with the robots because these boots have super powers.
