On our way back from Prince Edward Island, we had a 2 night stay in Quebec City, Quebec. Our daughter had never been before and it made a great place to stop on the way back after a full day of driving. We did the hop-on-off bus tour of the city and we were able to see and hear about sights that even after several visits I had never seen. We also visited Montmorency Falls just outside the city. This had been on my bucket list for a few years now.
A postponed family vacation from 2021 due to Pandemic and Health issues happened this year instead. We are visiting with our favourite down East family. Great times!

So I don’t typically photography people, but we got invited to watch/photograph a former daycare child that we looked after. These 8 years old’s were absolutely brutal/ I had no idea Lacrosse was so rough. I played it in Highschool, but it was nothing like this.
Today I joined several other people from the Conqueror Virtual Walk Challenges here in Orleans.
We met for the parkrun and then had coffee at a local Timmies
parkruns are free, weekly, community events all around the world.
parkrun events are 5k and take place on Saturday morning in parks and open spaces.
parkrun is a positive, welcoming and inclusive experience where there is no time limit and no one finishes last. Everyone is welcome to come along, whether you walk, jog, run, volunteer or spectate.
I was really excited to be notified that I came in 2nd in my age group even though I just walked the route.
Been a tough month physically with my Autoimmune disease flaring up. I was feeling up to trying a bit of photography and trying to figure out this Infrared photography thing. Using lessons learned from my previous two little outings, I headed to the LRT constructions sights near the IMALAIRD Photography worldwide headquarters. Again, I learned a few things. Hope you enjoy these efforts.
I had a big morning planned for photography at Mer Blue Bog, but there must be storm damage there as the road was closed when I went down to park, So I headed off to Petrie Island instead. I took a pile of photos but as I am still learning only 2 are good enough to share this time.
I got a couple of Infrared Filters for my camera for Christmas and today I took them out for a very quick session to see what they would produce. Although I like what I got, I need to practice a bit more and find more interesting subject matter to photograph.

Took a quick 3 and 4 generation photo, the we headed out to the airport for our long 2 day Journey home.
A little portrait session with our fur Grandbaby Scout, a trip out to Scapa Beach and a trip up Wideford Hill
Day 10 of our visit in Orkney. We explored the south islands of Orkney. Also walked as far as my legs could carry me a whopping 13.1 kms. I admit, I pushed it and am paying for it. Very tired legs. We visited several WWII sites and a woodland area.
