First Post of Spring!

spring plants spring plants spring plants Wow! It's been a really long time since I posted (or took a photo for that matter!) Honestly, I found myself getting a serious case of the winter blues. In Thunder Bay, winter seems to be lasting longer & longer which is terrible news for me because I hate winter and find myself craving flowers & green grass by the time February hits every year! It's so frustrating!

These photos were taken just last week and it still looked like winter. However, within the past week, temperatures have been getting warmer & warmer and now you can only see a bit of ice left on Lake Superior.. so at least winter is leaving and hopefully we won't see our usual May snowfall. I'm ready for shorts, the lake & a cold drink in my hand like, yesterday!! Once flowers start blooming, insects start buzzing & grass starts sticking around, you'll be seeing a lot more activity around these parts! Have a great Monday!

Proud

winter nature photography winter nature photography winter nature photography Some photos I took a couple of weeks ago. I love how I was able to find some color amidst all the white & grey that's in Northern Ontario! It's been about -30 every single day here in the last few days so I've been having a hard time grabbing my camera or feeling creative in general. If you've noticed, I re-added all my blog posts & photos since I started my blog again. I felt sad that I made all of my beginner photos private.. it sort of made me feel like a phony. I was a beginner once (heck! I'm still a beginner!) and I want to showcase my photographic journey through this blog. I want to be able to look back & I want my readers to be able to look back as well at how far I've come. I'm really proud of my photography as well as my whole journey along the way! While there may be some layout changes etc in the future of this blog, my beginner photos aren't going anywhere!

Lighthouse on Lake Superior

lighthouse lake superior thunder bay

I've taken many photos of the lighthouse on Lake Superior, just steps away from where I live but none of my photos have turned out quite like this one. This was taken with my zoom lens and the image quality I managed to capture surprised me. I was so used to zooming in with Nikon Coolpix P500 and losing astounding image quality that when I snapped this beauty I fell in love. I can't wait to use my zoom lens more often. :)
