I sincerely hope that none of the readers of this column were holding their breath waiting my next post!! I truly apologize for my absence. Summer at our new house has come & long gone. I haven’t exactly been the most active in terms of photography. I was able to get out a few times with my husband to catch some loons in action which is always a thrill for me. I found new employment a few months ago, and have been busily adjusting to another new schedule.
Today I decided to take the backroads home from my dental appointment in Arnprior. I packed my camera and I am very glad I did! It’s been such a long time since I have done that and I was rewarded with a Blue Heron hunting in a river near Pakenham. I have also been seeing photos posted of Snowy owls around the Ottawa area, though I haven’t seen one yet. I trust I will at some point soon!
I will share my photos I have taken since my last post in July. Please enjoy them all below.
