Month: November 2020

We took a drive an hour south of Ottawa to Upper Canada Village (UCV) near Morrisburg, Ontario. UCV if you have never been is a really well done tourist attraction that depicts the life of Canada in the 1800’s. Many buildings have been restored and brought to life with period actors recreating life from that period. Interesting fact: My mother actually attended the 1 room School House as a child. The building was brought in from its former location near her hometown and restored at UCV. A couple of times of year, they decorate the entire village. In October they run a display called Pumpkin Inferno which we went to last year and was just amazing. In November, December and January they run Alight the Night and they decorate the village in over a million Christmas lights. It really is something to see. For most of these shots I used my 10-20 mm Wide Angle lens. ISO 100, F13, and various shutter speeds depending on the light.

Through the Ottawa Shutterbugs photography group, I heard about the Navan Ponds that are supposed to be great for capturing bird photo’s. While I didn’t get many interesting Bird Photos the Landscape was interesting. On the way home I caught an combine making quick work of a field of corn in the setting sun and then I stopped at the Orleans Karst Pond to capture the last of the setting sun on an icy pond.

Remember, if you see any photos you would like on my Redbubble store, just let me know.

I am pleased to announce that I have completed 2 more virtual challenges. I completed Hadrian’s Wall and the 2020 Challenge to walk 2,020 kms in 2020. These walks have helped with my physical and mental health during this crazy Covid Year.

Today, I started my 6th Challenge with my daughter. We are going to “walk” the Ring of Kerry in Ireland together. It is 200 kms long and I have actually been on parts of it. We are hoping to complete it by Christmas.

This morning we took an early morning (sunrise) walk along the Ottawa River. It was surprising how many people were already out, but it was quiet and peaceful. I used my Kit Lens for most of the photos.

I have had many requests over the past couple of years asking if I would sell my photos. I really had no way to do that (both time-wise and technology wise) until now. I am happy to announce that I have opened an Online Store hosted through Redbubble. Not only can you buy my photos, you can buy interesting items with my photos on them. Please check out the store. You never know, there might just be something there for that someone special in your life.
