Icy Fingers

Frozen Icy Fingers

Granted, this isn't the best photo, but I wanted to capture the length of the icicles hanging outside the front window. This shot was taken through the window.

I like the bokeh in the background, the sun of early morning shining through the trees. The white is snow on the branches of an evergreen.

Autumn Leaves

Still posting photos from the fall. I haven't been out photographing anything yet since some snow has fallen. It's mostly gone now anyway, but there will be more chances over winter!

I think the red leaves are my favouring of the fall colours, but this year there didn't seem to be many around. Orange was the dominant colour this year, followed by yellow. This photo was taken on a walk in one of the local parks in the city back in October.

Along The Path

This was taken last month in Irishtown Nature Park. At the time, the trees were still pretty full of colourful leaves, even though there were tons on the ground. Now, however, the majority of all the trees in this area (not just the nature park) are bare - though some continue to hold on to the leaves. Winter is coming, and with that the snow. I'm hoping to walk these trails and get some photos of the park blanketed in snow.

The Tree

 I went for a walk with a friend in another of the nature parks in this area. This one is called Irishtown Nature Park. It is a beautiful, large area and has a lake and several trails. I'm not totally sure on the length of the trail we followed today, but I'd estimate about 5 kilometers. The last sign I remember seeing was 3.5km, and from there we still had to walk quite a way to get to the parking lot. It's definitely a beautiful place to go walking, jogging, even biking. I hope to get back there more often, and maybe get some photos there this winter too.

Down A Side Path

A lonely bench in Mapleton Park

This rickety ol' park bench looks as though it has seen better days. It was down a little side path from the main one where I was walking.

Strolling Through The Park

 This past Wednesday, I took a little walk in one of our city's parks. The main goal was to capture the fall landscape along one of the park's trails. While there were plenty of leaves on the ground, and several trees in colourful dress, I was quite surprised that there was still a lot of green - and I'm not just talking about the evergreen trees.

We had some rain and a lot of wind the last couple of days (today is windy, but sunny), so I expect a lot more of the leaves have fallen off. I'm hoping to go tomorrow or Monday to take some more photos. Hopefully I'm not too late at getting some beautiful scenic photos.

It's A Toss Up



Having Fun

 Last month when I travelled to Fredericton to the Harvest Jazz & Blues Festival, this guy was down by the Saint John River. He wasn't there the entire time, and came awhile after we had gotten to this spot (at the lighthouse). I'm not entirely sure what he's doing - almost like a form of juggling but using  a string with handles on each end, and three of those cylindar type thingys (love my technical term?), throwing them up in the air and 'catching' them again. The cylindar thingys were spinning around as they flew up and back down along the string before being tossed up again. This guy was really good at what he was doing, and it was fun to watch.
