This was another shot on the hike at Eau Claire Gorge. I played around with the settings I was looking for, and then just put the camera against the tree and hoped it would work. I think it did.

This was a little mushroom that I came across on my hike at Eau Claire Gorge. It took a few shots, but I finally managed to get it in focus at ground level (I couldn’t actually get my face close enough to the ground to see through the viewfinder).

I know they’d usually be called branches, but I really thought these looked like tree arms. By the way, this was taken at Eau Claire Gorge.

Here’s some fireworks blowing up in Callander. The guys launching off the fireworks let the crowd get quite close, so you could literally look straight up and take pictures. Pretty cool.

This is definitely my favourite shot I’ve taken of Toronto. The sunset in the background and the dark water in the foreground just work I think. As you can tell, I was really happy with this one.

This was taken in the late evening as I was out having an after-dinner drink. I love the brilliant colour of the sky.

I was driving on the highway in North Bay and noticed there was some kind of creepy fog along the side of the highway. I pulled over and took a few shots, and the fog actually moved into pretty much the middle of the road. There always seems to be fog in this area of the highway — I wonder why.

There were fireworks pretty much all weekend here in Toronto. I took a few shots of the fireworks, but was a little late on this one. It ended up looking more like warp speed than fireworks.

I took this while on a hike at Eau Claire Gorge, which is just east of North Bay (about 45 minutes, if I remember correctly). These steps led down to the water.

I took this on the ferry back from Toronto Island to the city.
