Plumeria Obtusa (Frangipani)

I took a lot of photos of flowers while in Mexico. There were just so many different beautiful plants there. I like the way the petals overlap on this flower.

Langevin Bridge Lights

Chelsey I have been trying to find time to go for a night time drive around the city to get a few shots and to give me a chance to play with more of the settings on my new camera. I finally got the chance to sneak out for an hour this evening (unfortunately, without Chelsey). This is Langevin Bridge in Downtown Calgary.

Woodland Cycle

This is another shot from my photo day with Chelsey at the end of September. I think this would be a very boring shot were it not for the bicycle in the bottom left.

Saddledome At Night

I went for a little drive this evening to try get some nice shots of the city at night. It took a while for me to figure out the right settings on my camera for the best result, but I am pleased with how this shot turned out.

Just a simple shot I took this afternoon. I like the way the green grass with the dead leaves and the snow captures the various seasons.

Migrating Pair

So I finally got the chance to go out for a walk today to try out my new camera a little more. I just went down to the Bird Sanctuary, but I did manage to get a few good shots. What I really like about this one is the weird lines the clouds made.
