Grapes on the vine.

I took this photo of grapes on the vine at a winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada. They didn’t taste as good as they look. I guess that’s why they’re wine grapes.

Fall trees.

Just some fall trees. Makes me wish it was still fall.

A sprouting little green plant.

This is one of my favourite photos I’ve ever taken, since it seems to have a story behind it. I’m not sure how long this plant’s been growing, but the colour contrast of this plant against the moss really makes it stand out.

Some red berries.

I have no idea what kind of berries these are, but I would imagine that they don’t taste as good as they look. Seriously, you try one first.

Lily pads.

Here are some green lily pads floating in the water (again, taken just outside Peterborough). No frogs in sight though.

Some seriously blue sky (with one white cloud).

Good thing I’m not a painter or a professional artist of any sort — because I come up with some pretty simplistic names for my posts. But at least they’re accurate. This was taken outside of Peterborough, Ontario.

An emerging rock.

It kind of looks like the rock just grew right out of the ground, doesn’t it? That grass looks really green and summery too. Makes me want to have a barbecue.

Looking up a tree.

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.

A little white mushroom.

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).

Tree arms.

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.
