*********************

If you want to science the contents of this photostream you will sometimes succeed but you will often fail;

Nonetheless the authenticity of it is impeccable.

 

If it makes you feel a certain way, trust that;

If you want to validate that feeling in a concrete world tub it will sometimes prove empty.

 

View this as you would a work of fiction that captures the reality of me (or of yourself) better than proofs that report to know when they only half see.

"For me, taking pictures is a soulful exercise ... photography is a way of disconnecting from daily life in a therapeutic way ... trying to see the world from a different perspective. I don't take pictures for anyone but myself, but I reluctantly admit that it is nice to think that someone else might enjoy my photographs." - MJH -

I'm a proud resident of Keefer Lake, Ontario, Canada

  

The photos below are taken in my 'front yard.' As you might notice in my photostream, Portugal is my second home. Rosa, my beautiful, amazing, indefatigable and instinctively gifted wife, is Portuguese. Yes ... I'm a lucky man ... because of who she is and where I live. :)

. Contemplating words exchanged and photos viewed, Michael Hill ... ( as well as enjoying a literary appreciation )... holds an uncanny ' eye ' for the abstract and nature's artistic licence to create utter beauty within that theme. I feel happy and honoured to be able to share views of the Magnificent Keefer Lake, Canada and it's accompanying and so varied coloured skies, clear reflective waters and wildlife. It is a delight to understand that another human being has stood on the shores of a place he loves...ready to enjoy, photograph and share one of life's true treasures.... A man, it would appear, with Heart and Wit as well as creativity. I was pleased to find a poem written by P.B.Shelley which compliments his work and vice versa... " When I arose and saw the dawn, I sigh'd for thee; When light rode high, and the dew was gone, And noon lay heavy on flower and tree, And the weary Day turn'd to his rest Lingering like an unloved guest, I sigh'd for thee... " a verse from " To the Night " It is a pleasure to have met you Michael through the sharing of our photographs.. Coco

Canadapt has a sense of humor. This is no mean praise. Few do. His photos are pretty good too!
