It’s become customary that I got out shooting on Remembrance Day. I seem to always gravitate towards Cordova Falls. At this time of year, there’s never anyone there and depending on the water levels, different rock formations appear. This year the water levels were relatively low. Not low enough to cross to the other side,…
This past Sunday night, our family went to Lang Pioneer Village for their annual Christmas by candlelight event. It wasn’t as busy as previous years, but it was a school night and the weather was pretty crappy. As the name suggests, it’s very dark there and everything is lit by candles or lanterns making photography…
This year for Thanksgiving, our family was invited to my brothers place in Collingwood, Ontario for the weekend. We’ve been to Collingwood a number of times before, but generally either just hang around the house or head up to Blue Mountain – a ski village just outside town. I’ve never actually walked around town or…
Back in early September we found ourselves looking for something to do on a warm, sunny Sunday afternoon. It was suggested we go hiking at the Petroglyphs Provincial Park. My wife and kids have been there before but I had not. We went for about an hour hike before making our way to the actual…
As has become customary, my wife and I made our annual visit to Kingston to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We missed last year obviously so it was good to be back. We did some shopping downtown and went out for a nice dinner. After a hearty breakfast at Morrisons, we took a walk down by…
Back in the summer, our family were visiting friends in Toronto over the weekend. On the Sunday morning when everyone else was just lazing around, my friend Paul and I went for a quick photowalk around Mount Pleasant Cemetery which is just down the street from his place. The cemetery, which opened in 1876, has…
For a couple years now, my family has gone to YMCA Camp Wanakita on Koshlong Lake just north of Kinmount, Ontario. I should clarify this. I’ve actually never gone with them… until this past summer. Imagine summer camp for kids, but for entire families – hiking, swimming, archery, biking, sailing, and campfires were the norm…
Back in mid-July, while my wife was working I took a couple days off with the boys and travelled to Grand Bend for a bit to hang out on the beach with some close friends. Grand Bend is about a 4 hour drive from where I live in Peterborough, so we made a couple stops…
A couple weeks back on our trip to Grand Bend, we stopped for lunch around the halfway point at Mountberg Conservation Area near Campbellville, Ontario. It was a place we could stretch our legs and kill some time before continuing on with our journey. This place did not disappoint. We basically had the place to…
We booked a camping trip way back in the winter when there was so much uncertainty. We didn’t know if the park would be open, if we could gather with people outside, and even if vaccinations would be available. It was a risk. A risk that ended up paying off. By the time this weekend…
