Here is a port side view of the HMCS Haida, now a historical site at its berth in Hamilton Ontario.  It is a fun, inexpensive tour through our naval history on this majestic destroyer.  It's also a wonderful place to go on a photo outing!

Yesterday evening we enjoyed the Canada Day fireworks from a vantage point in a friend's backyard.  I was able to capture many images with my iPhone 14 Pro Max.  This is one of the handheld shots from last night.  Happy Canada Day! 

This is the last sunrise shot from this location. I've seen and captured many beautiful photos from our little condo by the lake but we have now moved inland and will no longer see these (without getting up before sunrise and driving to the lakeside).  So... here's is the 'last sunrise'.

Spotted this swan having an evening swim by the Lake Ontario shore in Grimsby.

In this morning sunrise shot, the sun seems to be peeking through some low clouds at the horizon.

The fellow on the right has a nice fish on the line (or a bad snag) !  Photo was taken on the waterways around Toronto Island.  Cropping was done in Luminar NEO with the CompositionAI tool.

Full moon rising as viewed from the shore of Lake Ontario in Grimsby.

  Here are a couple of recent sunrises over Lake Ontario.  With today being our house move, I'll no longer have this vantage point for such orange beauty.

Occasionally, a sun dog will appear in the sky when the sun shines through ice crystals in the atmosphere to make a rainbow in the sky.  In the left side of this photo, a rainbow in the sky reflects onto Lake Ontario.

  I captured this sunrise a week or so ago using my 100mm lens ball.  

 The Grimsby Photography Group has monthly photo assignments and last month's assignment was "Under My Umbrella".  This was one of my two submissions.

I think the best way to get shots of the Toronto skyline is from a boat in Toronto Harbour.  These were taken last weekend while on a harbour and Toronto Island tour.

 Too much time away from the blog and I have a backlog of shots ready to load in.  Here's a start with a recent sunset in Grimsby Ontario, reflected in a nearby stream.  It was worth getting muddy knees to get my iPhone as close as possible to water level!

This foreboding sunrise is the last Canadian sunrise in the series for now.  A change of seasons has led to the large extent of upcoming photos being from the American Southwest.   Use of the #sunrise and #lakeontario hashtags may be used in this blog to see others in the series.  They are also available for purchase in photo products at www.fourlens.ca

This is a wider format photo of a sunrise overt Lake Ontario taken a month ago.  As the season goes on, the sunrise point moves gradually from left to right at this vantage point.  After the winter solstice, December 21, it will begin moving from right to left.

The sun is just coming up in this bright orange morning.  Good morning, sun!

 The clouds make this late September sunrise more interesting.

Three orange sunrise shots in this post.  

After the storm, here is a full rainbow with left end dipping into Lake Ontario and right end pointing to Grimsby Ontario.

This rising moon made a nice golden reflection on a calm Lake Ontario.
