Spent a couple days outside over the past few weeks and I've updated a few galleries for the resulting images.
Canadian Landmarks
Flora
Insecta

My favourite photos from the past year

For bokeh, subject, story, memories, colour, or whatever reason I have, these are the photos from the past year of which I am most proud.

June 2009 to May 2010 Fav Photos:

Helsinki

I really enjoyed Helsinki.
I wish I had another two weeks to spend just there, never mind the rest of the country.
Anyway, my vision of the city can be found here

Return to Paris

On the way to Finland we stopped over in Paris.
This was my second time in the city and I played more tour guide than tourist.
The city was bright and sunny...and busy and full of tourists.
Check out the gallery here

Country Four: Suriname

Two galleries from Suriname.

The first is the Rosebel Goldmine

The second is the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Paramaribo

Images are Up

Ah, a weekend to relax, breath...
...and update the galleries.
The images from my West Africa trip are up.
And I've expanded and updated the rest of my galleries.
Check them out.

So I actually updated my image galleries for my Thunder Bay trip.

I've also updated my flickr with some more picture sets.
Expect even more updates on both my webpage and flickr soon.

Scenic Caves

Headed up Collingwood way and checked out the Scenic Caves.
I may even post some pictures of the place at some point.
But to tide you over for now, have a gander at their lovely mascot:



...and their lovely mascot...devouring me:

Irish Famine Memorial and Tommy Thomson Park

So I decided to head into Toronto on Sunday.
My goal was to walk around Tommy Thomson Park as well as find the elusive Irish Famine Memorial.
Tommy was a nice refreshing walk, but at this time of year the place was pretty desolate and boring. There were a couple swans and some seagulls bobbing about in the water, but that was about it. And shots of the downtown skyline were slightly skewed by that familiar GTA smog.
The Irish Famine Memorial had eluded me previously, but this time I found her!
She was tucked in a corner piece of property, behind some old silos and city works buildings.
I have to admit, the memorial is a pretty cool looking place.
I snapped a few pics during the outing, and may post some up later.
I'll keep you posted...on my posting.

Royal Botanical Gardens

It was a gorgeous sunny day today which was great considering I intended to spend it outside at the Royal Botanical Gardens. I was keenly enthusiastic to wander through the gardens as they hosted three separate art exhibits: Earth Art, Sound Art, and the one that peaked my interest, ScuptArt. I managed to view pieces from each exhibit as I toured the RGB Centre, Laking Garden, Hendrie Park and the Rock Garden.
