To illustrate the effect of the current ice storm passing (for the past 3 days) through Southern Ontario, Canada, I decided to put together a collage of 4 images taken in my garden.

Hello Everyone!

Yellow is considered to be an optimistic colour, so I chose a yellow tulip for today's post. Optimism is a wonderful feeling to have, any day of the week!

Edited with effects in Topaz Studio for Slider's Sunday. HSS! Happy Sliders Sunday!

Thanks a million for stopping by and for your comments. I do love hearing from you! Have a fantastic day!

I'd much rather see white spring blossoms than the white snow that's falling right now. Ah well, I won't have to wait but for another month or so. If you have an overabundance of patience, please send me some! )O::

These flowers were photographed last year and then lightly edited in Topaz Studio 2 with an impressionism filter for Sliders Sunday. HSS!

Thank you for stopping by and for leaving me a comment. Have a great day!

The image of the building was taken on the grounds of "Dundurn Castle" in Hamilton, Canada.

The field and the tree are one image separated and re-defined for this composition.

This cabin sits along the shoreline of a tiny lake, not too many miles from our own cabin. If only it could talk and tell me how it came to be built so many decades ago, and by whom. I'm sure that every remote dwelling has a unique story.

I see snow machine tracks mingled with animal tracks in the snow surrounding the cabin. Snowshoe hares always take refuge under a cabin during the winter, and you can clearly see their paths. While inside - I am sure the squirrels and shrews have made cozy little nests for themselves.

HSS! and happy week ahead to all.

A passing rain cloud on an otherwise sunny day dotted the landscape with glittering gems such as this leaf; although slightly out of focus on the top right, this angle exposed the best of colours in the rain drops. Predictably, through contrast, by eliminating the clutter around it and opting for black further increased the effect.

It's snowing right now, so I felt inspired to enhance the whiteness of the white allium. To that end, I applied a chalk pastel effect and vignette in Topaz Studio 2. Happy Sliders Sunday! HSS!

Thank you so much for your visits and comments, I really appreciate them. Have a wonderful day!

The hush that falls upon the landscape at dusk was suddenly interrupted by a sudden loud, thundering boom. It was the soldiers' third attempt before it fired and even though there was a countdown to the firing of the cannon each time, the powerful boom startled me!

The suddenly loud noise thundered throughout the valley, saluting the end of the day at sunset. Leading up to this moment, someone had been playing bagpipes in the mountaintop outpost (which overlooks the chapel from a higher vantage point on the mountain). The cannon sat on the lawn of the world-famous wedding chapel at the Top of the Rock Ozarks Heritage Presserve, and it was quite a spectacular end to the day in this beautiful Ozarks preserve.

Incidentally, this beautiful wedding chapel has been recognized as one of the top nine in the world. The back of it is mostly glass and provides a beautiful view of the landscape and lake.

Unforunately, it was a perfectly cloudless evening, so I added the cloud layer in post processing to create this composite.

Doc doesn't need a gym membership to get a "workout" - he just needs to put on about six pounds of outerwear and get behind his snowblower. Every day, another six inches of snow slowly sifts over our landscape and needs to be removed. There is no way that we can wade through it - and swimming doesn't work either. LOL

Doc has our whole cabin decorated for Christmas, most of our shopping is done, and all that is left is the wrapping. We should be able to enjoy many peaceful days this holiday season.

These hydrangeas were photographed when they were turning from white to pink which is when I like them the very best. Edited with an effect and texture for Sliders Sunday. HSS!

Thank you for stopping by and for leaving me a comment, much appreciated! Have a great day!

An old-fashioned flower, bleeding hearts are blooming all over the place these days. For a bit of fun and because it's Sliders Sunday, I couldn't help but lightly edit the scene with an abstract filter and saturate the colour in Topaz Studio 2. Happy Sliders Sunday! HSS!

Thank you for your visits and comments, they're very much appreciated. Have a great day and upcoming week!

I have been watching this heron for well over an hour when all of the sudden it performed a smoothly choreographed dance routine. Later on the reason surfaced its head... a large fish (carp). Obviously too much for a heron to handle.

I took this picture of leaves with the one on top covered in dew drops because it caught my eye. Later on I decided to separate the leaf from the rest of the pile by creating my own water reflections using 3 layers of motion shots of autumn color leaves at various densities.
