Happy 8th Birthday, Táta

Today, my little friend celebrates her 8th birthday.

I love you, Táta.

Welcome, 2020

Welcome, 2020. As usual, I have seemed pretty absent from my blog — I wonder if anyone will even check this?

It is important for me to continue my blog in the new year because it was created out of love and a passion for photography. I was recently gifted with a new iMac, and it will be perfect to help me continue this website … hopefully posting more each week.

Saying goodbye to 2019 was filled with mixed emotions. I had to say a final farewell to my cat Jimmy Dean. Following a mini stroke, JD struggled through the last few months of his life. Anyone who has visited this blog since its inception, would know JD was the inspiration for many of my posts and was always present in different holiday, crafts and “just because” entries. He was a very important part of my life. I still struggle to realize he is gone from this world. No other soul will be as special or unique as his.

As I begin 2020, I have many goals (as we all do). But it really is to say committed to my blog and photography. Time never stops, and photos are my way of visiting precious memories from the past.

I hope you will still join me.

All that we love deeply becomes a part of us. 

Autumn days at Greenwood Conservation Area are here again

It’s been so long since I posted anything on this blog, but I have so many photos from the past several months to share, including these ones from Greenwood Conservation Area. We snapped these in Ajax this past weekend. It’s still early for fall colours in Ajax, but with the golden light, I think it is a very lovely autumn mood.

You can see what full colours at Greenwood Conservation Area are like, visit my post from my post last year.

Please note: To anyone heading to Greenwood, there is some construction (which means Pumpkinville will be moved unfortunately). You can read more about it by clicking here.

Happy Birthday, Táta!

A very happy 7th birthday to my beautiful Táta!

Throwback: Canoeing at Emily Provincial Park

I feel like them summer flew by and I didn’t share everything I wanted to, including canoeing at Emily Provincial Park.

Emily Provincial Park is located northeast of the GTA, near Lindsay, Ontario in the Kawartha Lakes. What I liked about the park (besides them fact we share a name) was it’s simplicity. It wasn’t packed like a usual campground, they had entertainment for the families, and a canoe rental location.
