Little Falls on Current River

Just upstream from a childhood swimming hole is this lovely scene which I call for want of a better name, Little Falls.  This section of the Current River between Centennial Park and Trowbridge Falls Park is a well-known walk by the people of Thunder Bay.  Every time I visit, this walk is always part of my hometown check-off list.  You can leave your car at either park and easily spend an hour on this riverside walk. When enough water is running, this little spot is a great place to have lunch.

Parkade

For some reason when I depart from my preference genre of landscape & nature, it's usually architectural work.  I like the orderliness of buildings with their vertical lines and carefully thought-out ratios and patterns.  This image was taken at an airport parkade.  I was idling for an afternoon with my camera while on an overnight stop.  At first, I was drawn to the grid pattern on the facade, then the stairwell behind, and finally the refection of a prairie sky and pedestrians walking along an overpass.  After that, it was only a matter of patience and time to get the right composition as strangers filed past.

Seal Bay Park Trail

Another shot from a favourite local park.  I've walked along this trail many times and each time the scenery is different.  On this day, I looked back and noticed the shadows falling on the trail with great rim lighting on the trees and branches.

Mitlenatch Chocolate Lily

The northern Straits of Georgia has a very special island called Mitlenatch.  There's an abundance of wildlife as the island is uninhabited, save one or two volunteer custodians.  After circling the island in our RHIB, our group landed and spent the lunch hour walking about on the trails and taking in the sights.  It was a perfect Spring day and the lilies were in bloom...Someday, I'll return for a longer visit.
