Last Cast of the Day

Image
 The sun is setting on a beautiful Georgian Bay day and there’s time for one more cast before heading home.

Full Reflection

Image
 Can’t get enough of this tree against the orange sunrise, this time getting a full reflection in a puddle on a dirt road after a rain storm.

Orange Morning

Image
 Looking for the best composition on an orange morning, it worked to find a rock in the  foreground, a lone tree in middle ground, and a beautiful sky in the background. 

Time to Fly South

Image
 The view from the dock of this tranquil morning in Honey Harbour with a beautiful sunrise sky.   Thanks to the AlienSky app for providing a handful of birds flying south.

Bass Fishing Contest

Image
 Yesterday was the start of the bass fishing contest and some were in their boats in time to watch the sunrise over Georgian Bay.

Morning Sunbeam

Image
 Nice timing for the seagull to fly through the scene as I was photographing the morning sunbeams.

Reflecting Pool

Image
 This reflecting pool is at the beautiful Butchart Gardens in British Columbia.

Colourful Shoes

Image
 Loving the colours in this pair of shoes.  Overlay was generated by the PhotoRoom app.

Backyard Oasis

Image
 This quiet setting is in a friend’s backyard.  The original photo has been edited with the Prisma app to give it more of a painted look.

Sailors Take Warning

Image
 Red sky this morning, sailors be warned!  No edits were needed from the original photo except for a minor crop and a very slight vignette.

Fishing Boy

Image
 Whilst out for a bike ride we happened upon this stream where a boy was taking fishing instruction from his dad.  The original photo has been edited with the Prisma app to give more of a painting feel.

Blue Morning

Image
 This blue sky morning last week was stunning.  To add some interest the AlienSky app was used to supply some birds.

Lonely Daisy

Image
 This lonely daisy is beside the ocean at Ellen Browning Scripps Park in beautiful La Jolla California.

Fall Colours Coming Soon

Image
 This photo of a tree at Niagara-on-the-Lake was taken last fall but we can expect fall colours to start popping soon.

Magical Sky

Image
  There was magic in the sky during last night’s sunset. The pink clouds formed a beautiful pattern that reflected off Lake Ontario.

Arizona Golf

Image
 This is a typical golf view in southern Arizona with green golf courses, blue sky, and beautiful mountain vistas.

Big Orange Sky

Image
 Taken a few weeks ago, the clouds at this sunset made for a beautiful, big orange sky.  Minimal edits to the original photo were needed other than cropping.

Early Morning Bumblebee

Image
 The sun is rising as a bumblebee on the right side of the photo is already hard at work among the purple flowers. Minimal editing to the original photo.

Big Kick

Image
  Here’s a little soccer player with a big kick. Minimal editing to the original picture other than cropping. 

Monument Valley

Image
 Monument Valley stretches between Utah and Arizona and is full of stunning monuments as well as Navajo history.  It is a magical place! This photo was edited using the Prisma app.

Chihuly Art

Image
 Artist Dale Chihuly makes amazing glass creations.  This is a colourful one from the Chihuly in The Desert exhibit in Phoenix Arizona.

Spanish Church

Image
 This old church is in Puerto Lapice, a municipality in Spain located in the province of Ciudad Real, Castillo-La Mancha. It is the place where the literary hero, Don Quixote, began his adventures. The perspective tool in the Snapseed app was used to adjust the view of the church.

Bridge to Paradise

Image
 This bridge is on a beautiful resort in Tahiti. What a paradise!

Saguaro Sillouette

Image
 Arizona sunsets are beautiful, especially when you can silhouette a saguaro in front of the setting sun.

Dockside

Image
 This photo was taken at the Hull Yacht Club outside Boston, Massachusetts (before we set sail).

Keep Smiling

Image
 Couldn’t pass up this reflection opportunity in the sunglasses of this young lady with the beautiful smile.

Bees at Butchart

Image
 You can’t beat Butchart Gardens in British Columbia for their amazing flower beds.  The bees there apparently appreciate the flowers as much as the human visitors.

Dreaming of Seashells

Image
 This young fellow, buried in the sand by his sister, seems to be dreaming of seashells (seashells provided by the PhotoLab app).

Hang Glider

Image
 After unsuccessfully trying to replace the dull sky on the background of this hang gliding photo, the Prisma app was used to give it a more interesting look.

A Place to Rest

Image
 This old bench with intricate designs is at Biggar Lagoon Wetlands and provides a place to sit and watch the birds.  The photo was edited to black and white with the Dramatic B&W app.
