I haven’t blogged much

about what is going on &emdash; i apologize for that. I’ve been keeping busy with work, some photos, hanging out with Jenn, trying to catch up on sleep, dieting. I’ve put up and reorganized some galleries over on Picturing’s Galleries. The latest are in the PhotoClub album with Fall Challenge and Scavenger Hunt, I’ve moved the Meech Lake gallery into the Ottawa Album (Gatineau Parc) and I’ve created in the Ottawa album a nested gallery for Mer Bleue. I’m currently saving my pennies for a new camera. I currently have enough right now, but with mine and K’s recent table/chair/mattress purchase combine with the holidays coming up, I need to just wait a bit longer. Maybe I’ll get lucky and in a few months the price will drop again. Miss Sandi wants me to do portraits of her, S and the girls for Christmas. I need to get on that and plan with her.

Mer Bleue

Yesterday my friend Jenn and I went to a very late afternoon nature outing for my photo club. The conservation area we went to is called Mer Bleue. Mer Bleue Bog is one of the largest bogs in southern Ontario and arguably the most important natural area in the Greenbelt[...]The most striking feature of the area is the bog mat itself, a “sea” of deep, saturated peat overtopped by open heath and stunted to moderate-sized black spruce and tamarack trees. We were going to go earlier in the day, but as chatty girls often do.. we got distracted *L* I hope to go back to Mer Bleue this week for some more daytime photos.
