HARVEST MOON RISE AT HOPE ISLAND
I was happily setting up to do some star photography when the most incredible orange orb began to rise above the tree line on Hope Island.

SUNFLARE AND BLUR ON LAKE ONTARIO
Inspired by the minimalistic art of Lawren Harris. Canadian landscape painter and member of the Group of Seven. A cool and limited colour palate of white, blue and black. To reduce the details I motion blurred the water. February days in this part of Ontario are often very cold, but filled wiith clear blue sky above and sculpted snow that sparkles and crunches underfoot. Sometimes it's like we are living in a Lawren Harris painting.

ARCTIC FOG SUNRISE
The air temperature has hung at -30 degrees C for several days now which has the great Lake Ontario steaming. This summertime gazebo in Port Credit stands empty. A lone witness to the beautiful weather phenomenom unfolding at dawn.

WARM HOPE AT DAWN
At -28 C spring seems but a figment of one's imagination. But when dawn breaks over the frigid water of Lake Ontario bathing everything in warm light, hope is renewed.

ARCTIC FOG
You know it's really cold out when the great lake - Lake Ontario - is steaming in the arctic air. The temperature outside on this sunrise shoot was -35C. But the way the fog rolled across the still water was so beautiful that I forgot I was cold - for a moment anyway.

FIELD OF MUTED LATE FALL COLOUR
In November the colour palate of southern Ontario landscape shifts from vibrant to muted. It makes it tough but not impossible to still find beauty.

ALL FALL DOWN
Our first frost and a bit of wind has finally brought down most of the leaves. There is now a delicious rustling noise to be made when walking through the park.

AUTUMN ALONG SPENCER CREEK
A late autumn hike along Spencer Creek towards Websters Falls and most of the leaves are down and brown. But if you let your eyes wander along the creek to the bend you will see just a little shot of tenacious fall colour that pops agains the evergreens behind.

ICE PACKED SUNSET
We ventured out onto the icy bay right to the line of ice shards. Heaps and heaps of jagged slices were piled up in waves. We came for the ice, but were also rewarded with a beautiful sunset.

MUSKOKA SUNSET
Summer weekends in cottage country are precious. The good weather season is short. A full day of rain on a Saturday can be very disappointing... but sometimes Mother Nature makes up for it by sending a spectacular sunset.

WINTER RECEDES
There is a rock beach nearby on the shore of Lake Ontario that often in the spring is strewn with the debris of a winter's worth of storms. Most of it is man made garbage, but occasionally there are more sculptural pieces from the natural world.

FROM SUNSET POINT
Is there anything nicer than finding a spot by the water to watch the sunset after a long hot summer day? We like to call this place sunset point - for obvious reasons.

DARING GREATLY
I came across this willow tree last week. I imagined it's story to be one of great resilience. For whatever reason it is stretched precariously out beyond the safety of solid ground. With roots lashed to the shifting and rocky shoreline it seems to be "daring greatly."

IN THE WEEDS
There are times when the best view is a small one right in front of you. To be "in the weeds" usually is a bad thing but not so in this case. The subtle gradation of colour reflected in the water, the gentle ripple of a wave highlighted by the sunrise and a silhouetted sprinkling of water weeds.

HUSHED
In the early days of winter the first storms bring a fresh white blanket to cover the grey death of autumn. There is a hush that falls over the land as the world adjust to the new way of things.

ICE WAVE SUNRISE
It’s early winter here and we’ve had enough days for ice to start forming along the shorline. On this particular morning the wind and the waves were building causing large pancakes of ice to break loose and begin a mesmorizing dance to and fro. As the sun began to rise the storm clouds on the horizon lit up with incredible colour.

Wintergreen Sunrise Abstract
A light dusting of fresh white snow and the intense glow of a winter sunrise seemed perfect for some abstract inspiration. Created using ICM (inentional camera movement) and further softened in post processing using a motion blur filter.
