Something new every day. I just had three teenagers knock on the door (it’s 9.15pm) and ask if I have a tent I could borrow them. No. Well, actually I do, but it’s a one person tent and you’re three. And even if I did have a bigger tent, I’d still not borrow it, because…

Have I mentioned how I hate April? Yes I think I have. And I’ll probably do it again, next April. We have a little bit of snow left, and all of it is ugly. Then the ground that has been revealed from under the snow, that’s all ugly as well. Months don’t get more in-between…

The other day a friend of mine asked if I could take a look at his dSLR because it was having some exposure issues. We went outside to the parking lot and I took some test pictures of the sky because it was an easy and neutral subject. Suddenly this guy comes along and is…

April is my least favourite month for photography so I had no expectations when I went for a walk, only took the G10 with me just in case. The 40D is in service now anyway and no way am I going to waste film on dirty snow. Sure enough, I wasn’t seeing anything interesting at…

Spring is inevitable, but it sure takes its time. The problem is not with the temperature – it’s hasn’t been that cold – but it’s all the snow. Just to give you an idea, the lowest snow cover this month was higher than the highest snowcover last winter. But I was encouraged last night when…

As I was waiting for the jays or squirrels to appear, I noticed that the forest was looking rather photogenic. So I concentrated on the background then, because nothing was happening in the foreground. That white strip at the bottom is the pile of snow in the jay image last week. The sun has now…

The snowing just won’t stop. All day today… it just kept falling. Last year I was photographing crocus buds on the 6th of April, I reckon I won’t be doing that this year. The temperature was at zero, it really limits my excursion options. The problem is that the snow sticks to the snowshoes so…

I’ve gone over to the dark side. I drove a snowmobile yesterday. Anyway, it was a whole lot easier than I thought. I guess the motorbike practice helped, so as soon as I got used to the way the snowmobile behaved, I had no problems at all. By the time we took a narrow trail…

Spring is definitely in the air. It was a sunny and warm weekend, the snow cover was reduced by a few centimetres and the roads are thawing in the sunny places, birds are singing and I’m totally un-inspired by it all. Honestly, great weather to be out but I’ve no idea where to point my…

You may (or may not) have noticed that the squirrels have been absent from the blog this winter. The reason is very simple – I haven’t seen any squirrels since early January. The seeds and nuts can go untouched for days so they’re not around here even when I’m not. And when the food did…
