“Pinecones” / Theme: Three of a Kind
Found these while at the park. I like the interplay of the shadow of the tree. And all the texture of the pine needles. Come to think of it, the colour scheme is very monochrome, isn’t it?

“Cuckoo Clock” / Theme: In Good Time
Spent a whole day cleaning, organizing, and tidying up a garage. Came across this beautiful cuckoo clock. No longer working properly, but beautiful still the same. Odd thing was, the time on the clock was approximately the time I took this photo. (And no, I did not manipulate the hands!)

“Wildflowers” / Theme: In Your Hand
On a walk, the niece picked some wildflowers growing by the side of the road. I liked the light and shadows dancing here, so I took a shot of what was in her hand.

“Big City” / Theme: Urban
This is a shot I took awhile back. The statue in the foreground stands outside of the main train station in downtown Toronto. I think it qualifies as urban, don’t you?

“In the Wild” / Theme: Authentic
Can you see him? He’s pretty well-camouflaged over there… My nephew’s the one that spotted this little guy when we were hiking. He was a safe distance away from us (across a little waterway). Later we spotted trees that had the telltale teeth marks!

“Peeping Through the Cornstalks” / Theme: Sunshine
Wandering about in a corn maze, I looked up to see this… the sun peeping through.
You can tell this is the edge of the corn maze since you can see the trees on the other side. Fortunately, we had a “map” of sorts to help us through the maze. I’m glad it was day, though. I wouldn’t want to be there at night!

“Ready for My Close-up” / Theme: Macro
There’s something about flowers that just beg you to get out the camera. “Take my picture!”. A couple things caught my eye as I was taking this photo. First, there were the almost translucent petals. I love how the light is almost shining through them. And second, I love the little detail you see when doing macro photography. We don’t often pay attention to those tiny details.

“Peeking Through Trees” / Theme: Hidden
This is a shot from my recent cross-country train trip which included a route through Northern Ontario (north of Lake Superior). The view was gorgeous! Especially all these pockets of little lakes that we would glimpse through the trees as we zipped on by. I love how this one tree is hiding that tiny island in the background, and that there’s another island off to the right!

“Blue Skies on the Prairie” / Theme: Legacy
This is a grain elevator, an iconic symbol of the Canadian prairies. Not sure if this one is used or not. It still looks pretty good, so I’m assuming it is? I like how the red just pops out from the field of yellow (canola flowers) and that blue sky.

“Salt Lake at Sunset” / Theme: The Great Outdoors
This photo was taken at Manitou Beach in Saskatchewan. Little Manitou Lake is a salt lake. We didn’t actually go swimming in it on this visit since, when we arrived, because of the winds. We practically were blown away. This photo was taken in the calm after the storm.
