Mama Bird

My brother has a nest built under his deck. I was pleased with the shot, considering it's through glass.

Luckily, there aren't many cats in the neighbourhood.

Grumpy Old Man

My grandfather used to be a crossing guard. Right near McGregor Arena, on Lawrence. There's a traffic light there now. This is his stop sign, or what's left of it, anyways. Still going strong, and he's been gone for a good 13 years now, and wasn't a crossing guard for a long time before he passed.

He was a grumpy old man, but he was always all right to me. I remember the poplar whistles he used to whittle, and how he used to love just puttering around the cottage lot.

The deck builder

A shot of the view up from the deck we built last summer.

Peeling

This tree is right beside the cottage, and has been there my entire life, perhaps a bit longer. I'm now thinking I might outlive it, as it's not doing too well. Still beautiful to me, however.

Ready for Take-off

This was taken right before he hit the gas, about 30 feet away from me - and right after I filled the memory card.....never fails - would have been an awesome shot.

Smoke on the Water

Just got back from the cottage, which will be the theme for the next few shots at least, I figure.

Got several of the lake, and liked this one, at twilight, with the smoke from campfires swirling above the surface.

Suburban Decay

I've always loved Dave MacIntyre's pictures of Urban Decay.

So I went looking for some SUBurban decay.

Unfortunately, this shot is of my house.

Gardening Season

I loved the way the sun was shining through these - taken in RAW, and untouched.
