Beaubien Lake is a beautiful little lake in Northwest Ontario, north of Kenora. I have only been here once but definitely intend to go back often to explore various routes into the lake. The only campsite we found on the lake is magnificent. Although I am not a fisherman, those I was with seemed to get a number of strikes.

This is a new album of photos taken during my annual 'retreat' to Riding Mountain in September 2008. Like most of the Riding Mountain pics in other albums, fall colours predominate. Mostly the yellows of Aspens,these colours contrast with the green of spruce and pine to create a dazzling spectacle for the eye.

Riding Mountain National Park is in the heart of Manitoba's Parklands Region. The town of Wasagaming on beautiful Clear Lake is the southern gateway to the park. The park itself is a prime example of northern boreal forest. It is home to a wide variety of wildlife; particularly elk, moose, black bears, wolves, coyotes and virtually every other species native to Manitoba.

Eastern Manitoba is where the Canadian Shield meets the prairies; lots of lakes and rivers, many of which drain into massive Lake Winnipeg through the Winnipeg River drainage basin. Whiteshell, Nopoming and Atikaki Provincial Parks are some of the highlights.

Manitoba is very much an agriculture-based economy and many of the small farms and supporting towns are highlighted here. The farms are as diverse as the people who own them, reflecting many different ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

Western Manitoba is usually thought of as primarily agricultural land but it also has a surprising diversity of landscapes. There are the Souris River and Pembina River valleys that cut across much of the landscape. The Assiniboine River is a flatland river meandering across the prairies and through Spruce Woods Provincial Park and the Carberry desert.

Manitoba's Interlake is roughly the area located between 2 enormous lakes - Lake Winnipeg and Lake Manitoba. Once covered by glaciers then later by the monstrous Lake Agaziz, these lakes are what remains. The lakes are the source for a large fishing industry as well as a booming resort and cottage industry. Between the lakes, agriculture is the dominant commercial enterprise.

This album contains aerial photography of downtown Winnipeg and surrounding areas. Taking off from St Andrews airport, we circled the downtown area 3 or 4 times. Conditions were fairly turbulent so getting all the shots was difficult to say the least.

I'm not much of a photographer of people. I wouldn't go so far as to say they get in the way of a good shot, but. . .

What can I say about Britain? It is my ancestry, historically more important than it should be and an incredibly beautiful place. These images were taken during 3 trips to Britain beginning in 1973 and ending in 1993. Much changed in that time and not all for the better. It is still beautiful but sadly, has lost its spirit.

Most of the wildlife pictures shown here were taken at Riding Mountain. It is an island of forests and meadows surrounded by farm land. Driving the backroads at dawn or dusk is sure to turn up some great opportunities.

These are mostly pictures of stuff found in the natural world taken with macro equipment. There are always interesting things to see when you get down close to the ground and explore what is hiding at your feet.

This album is made of of two distinct sets of images. The first set of photos is a series of abstracts I call "Liquid Light". They are colours and patterns that you can make your own interpretations about.

These images highlight textures and patterns found in nature. Not necessarily macro shots, but close up enough meant to feature the interpretive nature of the image rather the documentary presentation of the whole

This album is a catchall for pics that don't really fit into the other categories or that I don't have enough of to make a separate gallery
