There's always room for a story …
There’s nothing quite like a hot summer’s afternoon on the water.
This photo was one of my favourites in a series I took during the Canada Day long weekend. It embodies the comforts and true beauty of the Durham Region.
Frenchman’s Bay in Pickering, On. is one of my favourite lake access destinations … although, you won’t find me swimming in it anytime soon.
Whether it’s driving through Durham’s back roads or swimming in sparkling Caribbean waters, these pink Boathouse shades are a must-have, at least for me.
What can I say? I have sensitive eyeballs.
One of my main goals this summer: find loveliness in the smallest of things.
We are constantly surrounded by worldly charms – whether it’s outside our front door, en route to work, or vacationing at Blue Mountain. Beauty is simply everywhere.
To help me accomplish – or at least try to accomplish – this project, I recently purchased a Sigma 70-300mm macro telephoto zoom lens.
Sometimes the most interesting photos are captured in the evening, with the glowing lights on buildings, sidewalk corners, and – in this case – on a playing field. Located by the lake, Ajax has some of the most beautiful structures, including its community centre and recently renovated hospital. The photos below were taken near the Ajax Community Centre, facing Falby Court.
But the best thing to do there? Write with light in front of the apartment buildings, obviously.
It wasn’t so long ago when I made my first visit to Ashburn, Ontario’s WindReach Farm; it was in 2008, when Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan donated horses for the charity’s therapeutic horseback riding program.
WindReach was founded in 1989, and is designed to meet the needs of individuals with a variety of disabilities. The charity farm offers wheelchair accessible pathways, trails, buildings, barns and stables.
Oh, and did I mention it is located on absolutely breath taking grounds?
