The Site is not Dead

Hello followers,

Just wanted to give you all a little update on why the site has been so quiet in recent months.

The Imalaird Photography team has been busy preparing for our youngest daughters wedding that was held on August 8th. The wedding, Bride and Groom and the Venue were all amazing. But, as you can imagine, there has been little time for the website.

That being said, there are lots of photo’s in the pipe and we will be able to start posting again soon.

Thanks for your continued support – keep checking back as we will have new content up soon.

Queen, Its a Kinda Magic Concert

The Imalaird Team treated themselves to another concert and of course we had to bring the camera with us. The show was spectacular from start to finish. The musicians were extremely talented, the lighting and sound were well thought out and mixed. We would not hesitate to recommend this show if it comes your way.

Orleans parkrun – April 26, 2025

parkrun is a free, community event where you can walk, jog, run, volunteer or spectate. parkrun is 5k and takes place every Saturday morning.

parkrun is positive, welcoming and inclusive, there is no time limit and no one finishes last. Everyone is welcome to come along.

I have been doing the parkrun for a couple of years now as part of my physiotherapy to rebuild my muscles that were affected by my autoimmune disease.

The good folks at the Orleans parkrun have made me their official volunteer photographer. I get credit for volunteering and I get credit for participating in the actual parkrun.

Puddle Photos

We have had some rain over the last few days and lots of puddles were around. I was able to take a couple of good shots. I posted them to our local photography group and someone suggested I should start a table top photobook with my puddle shots, but have the pages and book be water proof in case they drop it in a puddle. I like this humour.

Red Hot Chilli Pipers Concert

I have been following this Bagpipe Rock Group for about 20 years. They hardly ever come to our area of the country. So when they announced their tour dates and Ottawa was on the list, I booked tickets within 20 minutes of the announcement.

The concert was everything I hoped it would be and we had an awesome time. Everyone was up and out of their seats rocking out and dancing nearly the entire show.

Spring Reflections

I love taking reflection and puddle photos. I was out for a walk in our local park and I couldn’t help taking a photo of the play structure. One in Colour and one in Black and White. Which one do you like best?

A Little Bird Watching

The weather was sunny and it wasn’t very windy. I saw an interesting this setup along the edge of the Ottawa River Pathway that we use for the Orleans parkrun. So the IMALAIRD Photography team grabbed the cameras and we headed out.

The interesting thing turned out to be a teepee like structure. No one seemed to be living in it, but the birds were very interested in us. Several even landed on us. Unfortunately, we didn’t have any bird seed with us, but we did manage to capture a few birds.
