Winter Wonderland

Since the first semester is over I was able to return home and have been able to take pictures again which I have enjoyed very much. The first picture is from Orleans which is a suburb near Ottawa. I was visiting my girlfriend and her family when I was there and we went out for a walk and stumbled upon this stream which was framed perfectly by the trees. The rest of the pictures are all from Stratford and more specifically the lake in Stratford. The first picture from Stratford is just showing the path around the lake and the snowy landscape and semi-frozen lake. The next picture is the path that goes around the lake and it is meant to show just how many trees there are around the lake. The picture after that is displaying how the snow was covering the trees and in the picture, you can see the house and the reflection of it all on the water. The next picture I just thought looked cool as it is displaying the curve of the island in the middle of the lake and the snow in the trees. The last picture is my favourite. It is my favourite because of all the shadows and the colours on display. The sun had just peeked out from behind the cloud and was lighting up a nice part of the lake while the rest remained in shadow. The snow was clinging to the trees while the semi-frozen lake was covered in snow, it looked like a winter wonderland.

Godda and Booth Lake Trip Report: Algonquin Provincial Park Solo Trip

 My longest back country camping trip this year was into Algonquin Provincial Park. I went from September 16-19, 4 days and 3 nights. Originally my plan was to stay until the 20th but circumstances forced me to change my original route. Originally, I had planned on going from the Shall Lake Access Point(17) to Godda Lake for one night, then head down to Boot Lake for two nights, up to Booth Lake for one night, then home. However, during my first day, I realized that I had overestimated my capability to portage with a 75 pound canoe, and I had planned too long of a route. I altered my plans and instead spent two nights on Godda Lake and one night on Booth Lake.  Day 1: I got to the access point at 11:10am and had everything unpacked and loaded into the canoe by 11:25am. I made my way through Farm Lake (which has super clear water) to the first portage into Kitty Lake. The portage was only 100M and was the first of the trip. It took 10 minutes to double carry. I was able to do t...

The Canadian, Vancouver-Toronto

  The final part of my trip was taking ViaRail's Canadian from Vancouver to Toronto. This has been a bucket list trip for me as I've wanted to do this since I can remember, and it did not disappoint. The food on the train is quite good, with some meals being shown in this blog post. Lunch and dinner come with a soup or salad to start the choice of 4 mains and then dessert. The photo's are a mix from my Sony a6600 and Iphone, the Sony camera did not take good photos through the train windows so I had to resort to the Iphone which still wasn't the best, hence the reflections in some of the photos. Mountains and the Fraser River More mountains and the Fraser River The sleeper car I was in   A very fancy plate setting Rack of lamb to start the trip off Carrot cake cheese cake for dessert My berth for the next 4 nights Mt Robson Little trucks used to pull bagage The engines that powered the train Jasper post office Deadheaded equipment being dropped off Beef tenderloin for...

Morrow Lake-Back Country Camping

I went on my first solo back country camping trip this past weekend. It was quite the experience and I learned what to do and what not to do for next time. I had the whole lake to myself which was pretty sweet but on the other hand it kept raining on and off. Out of the 4 photos I like the waterfall one the most. The only downside is that the photo turned out a little hazy due to the mist coming off the waterfall and the fact that the forest was quite humid with all the rain. This just meant a fuzzy photo. I'm going to plan to go during a dryer period next time for an even better photo. Loon on the lake I was staying on. First view when you slip your boat in. Morrow Creek waterfall. An old barn with mist in the background.
