Red Pine Camp

Last week I was on vacation at Red Pine Camp. This is a family camp located on Golden Lake in Ontario. I didn't manage to get as many photos as I would have liked due to the weather and the moon being full which ruled out any star pictures. However, I did manage to get some pictures hence this post. The first two pictures are my favourite ones I took during the week. Near my cabin was a dock that was used to refuel the boat the camp staff uses. I set up my camera on my tripod with my ND filter on and set out to get some still water pictures which I think I succeeded in getting. In the first picture, I had the shutter open for 2.5 seconds while in the second picture the shutter was only open for half a second. That is why the first one is darker and moodier than the second which is brighter and happier. The third picture is of a group of Red Pines looking up at their canopies. The camp itself is named after these trees. The fourth picture in this post is of the camps mailbox and private property sign which I took during the golden hour which gives it a nice glow. The final four photos I took while down by the dock one evening. The first of the four is of the rowboats the camp lets the campers use. The following two are of a pine tree located at a point jutting out into the lake. The final one is looking out from the dock into the lake and its islands.

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.
