Now I can almost imagine what it was like to live on a farm in the Dirty Thirties. Hubby called from the window that I should come look. There was a sickly brown cloud below the storm clouds. I shut the window, grabbed my camera and we headed out to the car. As I came around the corner of the house, I was hit in the face by flying sand. Continue reading Dust Storm
Thanks for the heads up, Darryl! I managed to capture a couple of bolts before it began to rain on my camera. Continue reading Lightning!!!

The Avonlea Heritage Museum hosted another photography workshop featuring the incredibly talented Colin Chatfield last week. He gave a very informative talk about night photography and I’m sure we all learned a lot.

Headlamps and flashlights enabled us to see the way and … Continue reading Avonlea Badlands by Starlight
