Exciting News – A new family adventure and I finished my Camera Course #AYWMC2018

Exciting news – We are in the early stages of planning a new family adventure to Ireland! The plans are coming along to spend a few days with our daughters in Dublin and as an added bonus we are meeting my Pen-Pal and his wife for a few days in Killarney.

If you remember, I was taking a camera course called A Year With My Camera. I have finished the 52 week course and I am really please with the results from the course. Am I a better photographer? I think I am much better than when I started the course and that was the goal. I learned how to get off Automatic mode. Are all my photos perfect? Not even close. I do however take more of the better ones than I used to. So mission accomplished.

Scotland – A Family and Photographic Adventure – Orkney Islands – A final night and then the trip home to Canada

After nearly a full month away it was time to say good bye to Orkney, but we had one more special night before we left. Although the weather was not supposed to be good, we discovered that the Northern Lights were out. My daughter and I made a quick run out to the Standing Stones of Stenness and we were able to capture a few photos of the Stones and the Northern Lights before the weather moved in.

We were up fairly early as we had a full day of travel ahead of us. Kirkwall to Edinburgh to London Heathrow to Montreal. We overnight-ed in Montreal and took the bus back to Ottawa the next day. Our amazing family adventure was over for now.
