I don’t have any photo editing apps on the new PC yet, so I decided to use the built-in Photos app to take some recent shots and make them all arty and black and white. The results are not bad.
All shot on my iPhone 12, which has half-forgotten it’s a phone in its old age.
Shot today while out and aboot.
I used my iPhone 12, which has developed the interesting habit of sending all phone calls to voicemail and sometimes not even letting me know someone has called. More on this later!
I was in the area of Lafarge Lake on Saturday and despite the weather being rather soggy, took the time to stroll the 1.2 km path around the lake. I saw a surprising number of waterfowl, including:
If the weather had been better and I’d had my camera, I could have gotten some decent shots. As it was, I took some scenery pics. Here’s one I converted to black and white to be all artsy.
Lafarge Lake used to be a quarry, which makes its adoption by so many species even nicer to see.
And here they are:
And a bonus shot of the Brunette River, shot from a different perspective, as the usual spot looked quite muddy/slippery/fall-into-the-river-y:
Shot over the past few days using my 150-year-old iPhone 12.
Apart from The Rains, I quite like the middle of fall.
Shot today, post-run.
Taken before and after my run today, and shot on my iPhone 12, now five generations behind the curve (and loving it).
Ominous!
The weather has been pretty typical of early October so far, though. Summer was also surprisingly normal, not too hot or humid. I do wonder if we’re being set up for an extended period of The Rains or lots of snow (boo, hiss). For now, though…it’s fine!
Like the title says, everything from flowers to (toy) bombs.
The toy bomb was kind of weird.
As seen today on an unusually warm late May afternoon.
EDIT: Nic is less lazy than I am and has identified this as a forest tent caterpillar. It grows into a forest tent caterpillar moth, which is an extremely on-the-nose name.
From around the neighbourhood today:
