Birds...and a Cat (Lake Side, Nova Scotia)

Digital original
During a visit to a friend's house, an origami mobile caught my eye - the shallow depth of field of my 85mm portrait lens was perfect for the subject.

The rest of the visit was sent focused on Buffy...a male cat named by a child. Again the portrait lens was called into play.

New Year's Day (Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia)

Digital original
Every New Year's Day since 2007, I've been visiting Peggy's Cove, to photograph in the New Year. This year had no snow, but there was a rich array of icy pools to work with - the above image being my favorite of the visit.

The late afternoon sun on the ocean made for a lovely contrast in colours.
