Autumn in Peterborough

During this week I managed to get out and take some photos of the city I've called home for the past year and a bit. I managed to get out during golden hour (right before the sun sets where everything looks golden) to take some pictures which is something I can't often do due to school. The first picture is of the courthouse in Peterborough. The courthouse sits on top of a large hill in the city and has a very nice walk up to the courthouse. The second photo was taken from the Hunter Street bridge which crosses the Otonabee River. It is overlooking the river and the fall colors that are just showing up on the trees. The third photo is of an Anglican church that sits on the edge of the same hill that the courthouse sits on. The fourth picture is the path you would take to get up to the courthouse. It is showing off the vibrant fall colors of the maple trees in Victoria Park. The last photo is just showing the last rays of the sun breaking through a tree in the Memorial Park.

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.

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.

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.
