After almost a meter of snow in a week, I ventured out in the blistering cold for some local shots.

Fall 2012

Some fantastic colours this year.

We kayaked over to the Manotick Antique and Wooden Boat Show at the Manotick lock and got these pix early on the morning of August 10, 2012.

A trip out west in May means a bit of exploring. We visited Drumheller and the surrounding area, Banff National Park, including Johnston's Canyon, Lake Louise and the town of Banff itself.
