A winter wonderland

After our first snow in December, I went and took some pictures from around the grounds outside of work, since it’s a rather picturesque area. It had dumped a few inches, covering the ground and making the trees laden with snow. The nursing home is in the west end of the city, but the path behind, next to the Saint John River provides gorgeous scenery year round. Sometimes you’d hardly think you were right in the city and not out in the countryside.

Playing in Black & White

Last spring (May 2009), I was home in Newfoundland, and snapped several shots in black and white. It hadn’t been my intention at first (realizing afterwards that I’d forgotten to switch settings), but when I sat down to go through the set of photographs I had taken, I was impressed with the outcome. To this day, several of them continue to be some of my favourite shots I’ve ever taken. In addition, I’m adding one that I also took in Nova Scotia in March 2009, that is also a favourite. Sometimes, it’s hard to pick. And finally, one of my favourite shots that I took while I was in New York City in October 2009.
