Ottawa Trip

This past week I went up to Ottawa to see my girlfriend again. I did all of the tourist stuff my first trip up to Ottawa, which proved a challenge for pictures, as I don't like taking pictures of the same things over and over. So this trip we stayed clear of the main tourist spots and instead we went down to Petrie Island, which is what the first photo is of. It's a turtle sunbathing on a log at the island. The second photo was taken when we were trying to find MosaiCanada. It is the Parliament Buildings from across the Ottawa River, which provide a very different view then most people see. The next four photos are from MosaiCanada which is located in Gatineau. The first of the four photos are a pair of Atlantic Puffins. The second photo is Mother Earth-The Legend of Aataentsic. The third is of the Canadian Pacific Train 374, which was the first train to travel from Montreal to Vancouver. The last photo is a pair of red foxes from Prince Edward Island. MosaiCanada is unique because it is celebrating Canada's 150th but all of the exhibits are made out of plants so its a living art show.

Hunting Camp 2023

My yearly trip up to my family's "Hunt Camp" was last weekend. It was a great time seeing the family and seeing the beautiful landscape that it sits on.  Main Lake at the Camp Reflections in the Lake Reflations on the other side of the lake A scenic lookout on the way home Rockingham Church on the way home

So Many Woodpeckers

Recently I went on a walk in a local wooded area, for most of the walk I didn't see anything other than some Black-Capped Chickadees until near the end when the first came alive. I saw four different species of woodpecker and a giant Raven. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a photo of all of the birds that were there. Then on the walk home from the wooded area, I came across a group of house finches feeding on some berries in a tree, where one posed perfectly in the bright winter sun for me. Mallard Duck from a previous walk. One of many trees with signs of woodpecker activity. Black-Capped Chickadee. Downey Woodpecker. Pileated Woodpecker. Black-Capped Chickadee. Pileated Woodpecker.

Driftwood Provincial Park 2023

The first and most likely only camping trip this year was just taken on the July 1st long weekend. It is probably going to be the only trip because we just got a puppy and aren't quite at the stage yet of taking her camping.  In some other news I got a new camera. Henrys was having an trade in event and for once was offering a fair deal. I traded in my Nikon D7200 and got a Sony Alpha a6600 instead. I got a 70-350mm lens and have an 16-50mm lens on order that should hopefully be in mid August. That is currently why all my photos are zoomed in and there is no landscape ones.  Sunset from the beach before the storm. Taken on my Pixel 6 My new camera with zoom lens.
