This image taken with the GoPro has water splashes and weird colours, but who cares.
The water was so warm. It was awesome. The air temperature humidex value was just below 40 degrees C. July 6, Mew Lake, Mew Lake campground, Algonquin Provincial Park, Canada.
My first ever photo posted to Flickr taken on my phone. Left the office thinking I’d take some shots on my XT4, but turns out I left my SD cards at home. Took my phone out instead and was pleasantly surprised at what this phone can do. Do we even need big cameras anymore?
We dropped off Molly at Camp Manidokan for her first time at sleep-away camp. No contact whatsoever with us for the week. She’s got a friend to keep her company and is looking forward to lots of fun.
well today was possibly the hottest day ever in T.O. (at least it felt that way). Oh and plus there was a power outage, so I decided to cool off with the hose

Here you have a male Red-Bellied Woodpecker on the left and a male Downy Woodpecker on the right. They landed on the same tree in different spots, shimmied up and down until they were face to face and starred at each other for about a minute and flew away. No punches were thrown :-)
Picture isn't as sharp as I'd like but the subject matter overruled.

168001 at Rickmansworth, en route to Aylesbury back in 2013. These 4 car, 100mph units are most frequently used on the GW-GC mainline to Banbury and Birmingham, so to see one on the local service was, at the time, unusual. The design on these is somewhere between the earlier Networker and the later Turbostar types. Had some very very spirited running running on these, that are now over 20 years old.
Pretty dope, eh?

Week 36
My 21st brithday. This week was my birthweek and what a weird birthweek it was. It almost feels like none of what happened happened. I started the week off in New Hampshire filming a short film with Teddy and a group of amazing people. My birthday in particular wasn't anything too spectacular. Just another shoot day. Teddy and I did go out and take photos but none of them really came out to my liking. It was a great night of exploration though which was nice. I came back from New Hampshire on Wednesday and stopped by George at college and picked up Scott before adventuring around the Seaport which is one of my favorite places to take photos! The brand new glass buildings right on the water make for some beautiful bokeh and lighting situations. I ended up coming back to see George the next day as well just for fun and we took more photos and explored a bit more. Now I am in Chicago on a business trip and we start shooting tomorrow. I can't wait to get back in the field. What a crazy week I have ahead of me.
I can't wait to see what this next week will bring!

In the early years of the 20th century, increasing leisure time for ordinary working people meant that relaxing sports, such as golf, were becoming more and more accessible. Playing on the sandy Seaton Carew Golf Course, this man is accompanied by his young caddy.

PERSONAL FUN FACT: The lockers pretty much sum up why my sister and I wanted this school. They really open, they look realistic yet colorful....everything you could want. This originally came with name stickers for the Generation Girls. But I got my school secondhand in the early 2000s. There were a few pieces of the name labels left, but most were gone or partially torn. So they eventually were all peeled off. That was fine with us, since Colleen and I rarely played with the Generation Girls in the school. Instead we had our usual cast of favorite dolls, which rotated around depending on the time frame. There would be a designated locker for School Photographer Becky, Pet Pals Skipper, 2001 Sparkling Jasmine...even Kid Kore Katie. It's interesting because Katie was eight....so I'm not sure why she'd have a high school locker. I even made little text books out of construction paper and gel pens for each of the dolls. I would do different fonts, copying names from my own textbooks. Sometimes I'd doodle on the covers, to make it look like the dolls got bored in class. The slide out walls also added some realism. It was a bummer we didn't get any of the furniture that originally came with this set. But we had so many dolls in play, that we couldn't have possibly fit them at the flimsy cafeteria table. So we just sat the dolls on the floor and pretended there was a table. Colleen and I always used our imaginations to fill in the missing set pieces or even characters we didn't have. The newspaper room was also a fun set to utilize. I really liked the copy machine...but I was bummed it wasn't three dimensional. The walls are vinyl which can be retracted into the school. This makes everything super compact and easy to store. However, when you store it for a while and then roll out the walls, they stay curled. So I always have to use putty to stick under the metal bases. This keeps the walls taught and straight. This wasn't so much an issue when I was a kid, because the school was set up ALL the time.

A large white heron, the Great Egret is found across much of the world, from southern Canada southward to Argentina, and in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. It's the largest egret in the Old World, and thus has garnered the name Great White Egret. But in the Americas, the white form of the Great Blue Heron is larger and warrants that name. In the United States, the Great Egret used to be called the American Egret but that was hardly appropriate, since the species range extends beyond America and indeed farther than other herons.
The Great Egret (Ardea alba), also known as the Great White Egret or Common Egret or (now not in use) Great White Heron,[1] and called kōtuku in New Zealand, is a large egret. Distributed across most of the tropical and warmer temperate regions of the world, in southern Europe and Asia it is rather localized. It is sometimes confused with the Great White Heron in Florida, which is a white morph of the closely related Great Blue Heron (A. herodias). Note however that the name Great White Heron has occasionally been used to refer to the Great Egret.
The Great Egret is a large bird with all-white plumage that can reach one meter in height and weigh up to 950 g. It is thus only slightly smaller than the Great Blue or Grey Heron (A. cinerea). Apart from size, the Great Egret can be distinguished from other white egrets by its yellow bill and black legs and feet, though the bill may become darker and the lower legs lighter in the breeding season. In breeding plumage, delicate ornamental feathers are borne on the back. Males and females are identical in appearance; juveniles look like non-breeding adults.
It has a slow flight, with its neck retracted. This is characteristic of herons and bitterns, and distinguishes them from storks, cranes, ibises and spoonbills, which extend their necks in flight.
The Great Egret is not normally a vocal bird; at breeding colonies, however, it often gives a loud croaking cuk cuk cuk
