The New Year has just turned as I'm writing this, 2016 is over and many are glad of it. For some reason, we tend to associate a year with events that happen, especially the bad ones. We had a lot of celebrity deaths in 2016, but was it the year? Not at all, it's just that we seemed to not even be able to digest one before the next one was reported it seemed. I grew up as a huge music fan and for me, most of the people I listened to now find themselves in about the same age range, I've been saying for a long time that when they start to go, there might just be a wave of them.....2016 saw that start to happen.

We didn't have our planned New Year's Eve fireworks tonight due to weather conditions, but this is a shot made Canada Day of 2015. Hope you like it. I have published a couple from this night before, but this is a completely new one.

I'm a day late, this is usually up on Sunday, but yesterday being Christmas, I never went near my computer all day. I took a workshop with a friend awhile back and she has been encouraging me to make panoramas more often.  I have been experimenting a bit here and there. This is one that I made at RMC looking back toward Kingston. I mostly think Kingston has a little boring cityscape as we have few tall buildings at the waterfront to create architectural interest. In the case of a pano, you can bring some interest to it I think. Thia particular image, at full size would be 68.5 inches long!

This little cottage is where we lived during our stay on the west coast of Scotland, it was called "Heather Croft". I love how, in Britain, many of the country houses are named. The mountains greeted us each morning, unless there were low clouds of course. This particular evening, it was so clear, we took a walk into the field behind the house and got many different frames, but this one was one of my favorites.

We took a drive one day in the fall looking for colour. We were a bit early for great colours, but it was a great drive just the same. While in Bon Echo, we found this stand of giant pines and I was taken by the height when I walked among them.
