 Another sunrise over Lake Ontario.  Good morning!

 One of the participants in a polo game at the Toronto Polo Club with sepia and vignette edits applied.

 From the beach in Mykonos, Greece is a nice view of some beautiful yachts.  

 This an interesting view of the flag in a golf green taken at Mountainview Golf Course in Arizona.

 This handsome fellow was chatting away from his log perch at Jordan Harbour.

 The saguaro cactus can lead a long life, exceeding 100 years.  As seen on the left of this photo, they can be photogenic even after they have passed on the the great desert in the sky!

 A view of the Tuscany landscape outside a winery

 Spring in Arizona is when the cactus flowers begin their bloom and it amazing how beautiful and colourful are the results.

 This surfer statue at sunset is at Imperial Beach near San Diego, California.

 Though many bobcats run freely in Arizona, this well fed bobcat lives at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.

 Watching a beautiful Arizona sunset is a perfect time for wine time!

 This lonely kayaker is headed under the highway from the safety of Jordan Harbour toward the expanse of Lake Ontario.  Safe travels!!

 This boy is really lost.  He was photographed at Heritage Pioneer Village and then placed in a photo of a doorway at Balls Falls.  Final editing touches were done with the DistressedFX app.

 This fellow was trying to have a nap but the photo safari vehicle kept pulling up beside him. So he decided to pull this threatening pose in hopes he could scare away the tourists and get back to his afternoon nap.

 Though better known for its deserts, mountains, and canyons, Arizona has many beautiful lakes for boating and fishing.

The most popular tourist activity when visiting Venice, Italy must be going for a gondola ride.

 Here is another two saguaro sunset from Arizona.  Never get tired of sunset photography there.

  This uses a circular app to give a different look to silhouettes of saguaro and ocotillo cacti in an Arizona sunset

Gooseneck State Park in Utah offers a beautiful, up close view of this amazing landscape. It’s a must see if road tripping near by.

Booked flights yesterday and am now California Dreaming. First significant post pandemic travel planning.

Afternoon nap time on the streets of San Diego.  She looks comfortable (?)

These two furry friends were having a nice chat and groom in a tree in the Serengeti in Africa.

Unobstructed views are a great thing for photography, and so are interesting cloud formations around sunset.

This is the pier at Imperial Beach, California, just outside San Diego.  To get the seagull in the picture, I asked someone to approach it from the right and encourage it to head into the frame.  The seagull decided to cooperate.

Looking forward to getting back to Arizona later this year where saguaros and sunsets make for great photos.

This lone fellow was roaming the Serengeti. The photo was converted to black and white to match the striping on the animal.  The vignette is intended to allow better focus on the subject and eliminate distractions.  The above edits were done using the Dramatic B&W app. Other distractions were cleaned up with the Retouch app.

This photo was taken some time ago at the Serengeti National Park.  The technology at the time was slides.  When the slide was converted to digital a few weeks ago, the result did not have the best photo quality.  Using the Prisma app to add more of an artwork look hides the deficiencies from the conversion to digital.

Heading out to morning fishing yesterday, we boated by this dock adorned with a colourful set of Muskoka chairs. There’s also a nice reflection of the colours in the water.

This African Lily was photographed in Africa and edited into a vibrant picture with the Prisma app.

Enjoying the Canada Day celebrations!

The Maasai ladies in East Africa wear amazing bead necklaces. Red represents bravery.  White blue and white represent purity and peace. Green represents health. Orange is used as a sign of hospitality.  Black signifies the struggle of the Maasai people.
