    A Last Glimpse of Summer

    This photo taken back on September 26th in the Palgrave conservation area provides a last glimpse of summer. There is only a small hint of changing colours and it just shows you how quickly it can turn from very green to the colours of fall. This is an HDR photo processed in Photomatix from a […]

    Garden Snake / Garter Snake in Caledon

    I caught a few close ups of this Garden Snake on my way to Caledon Lake. The official name for them is actually Garter Snake but they also go by a number names, garden snakes, gardner snakes or gardener snakes, or even garder snakes or guarder snakes. I took this photo with my new Olympus […]

    Small Little Woodpecker in Caledon

    Woodpecker in Palgrave Conservation Area

    I found this little guy a red headed woodpecker inside the Palgrave Conservation area. Unfortunately it had started to snow at the time but I was determined to get a picture of him so once I spotted him I slowly stalked him into the deep woods and with my brand new zoom lens (Olympus 70-300mm) […]
