I like this photo a lot. It looks like a painting. Some of my photos turn out looking like paintings. I don't mind. I just wonder why my eye sees this sometimes. Anyway.....
I would like to thank Jennifer McDougall and Melanie for jump starting my photography. I got my first good camera for Christmas a few years ago from Mel and her family. Even though I get annoying by taking pictures a lot. Everyone is great about tolerating it for now. Jennifer is great she really encourages me to explore new things and I look up to her.I really like her photos and her blog is really beautiful. Jen your Photos are amazing! And I hope we can go out sometime this year and take pictures together. Thanks Jen.

Well today wasn't very exciting but it was sunny this morning and not freezing cold like it was last Monday.I am still having trouble with my canon rebel though. I didn't see the bald eagle this morning either. I guess it will be next year until I get another picture of it. So this it a picture of the Belwood dam this morning just outside of Fergus. It' s a bit of a hike down to the water but well worth the effort. I saw a fisherman, a few hikers and a seagull.It's nice a nice place to walk around if you like the sound of rushing water. In the summer I guess people drive down here to swim and camp on the other side of the river. A few miles down the road is the bridge I took the picture of the bald eagle at. The are a lot of animals and birds to take photos of all year round so far.

Thanks, Jason!! Sorry I only just saw this now! I appreciate it so much and I am so flattered. I find your work so incredibly inspirational. I am at a loss when it comes to anything other than people shots. I don't know how you come up with all of the fabulous ideas that you do! You are so incredibly talented and I can't wait until we get out and spend an afternoon taking pictures. I can learn so much from you.

Let me know when I can post a link to your blog from my own because I am dying to. Your work is fantastic and deserves to be seen!!!

Oh and by the way beautiful pictures as usual. The colours are just amazing - they are so calming. I could see picture it blown up huge and on a wall. Maybe a great shot for your house? Or my own lol. Anyway, they are just incredible!
