July 9, 2015 – “Don’t leave home without it!” Let’s go back to our roots of taking plain old snapshots that recreate the emotion we felt the moment we took the snapshot. I feel we get saturated with advertisements for us to take better professional digital photography if we only use this camera or that software. I do urge the camera club in my retirement community to take advantage of all of this and hang their professional results in the galleries the community provides -BUT I also urge them to tell their story thru just plain old snapshots – create memories and emotion with a series of snapshots of their trip, their family wedding, their 4th of July parade, their wildlife in the garden, or their BarBQ and then place the snapshots in an album like we used to do! So, I gathered a few snapshots I took in a few days (end of April) on my trip to our Island home (I brought our truck up for the summer. So, think of this blog as if it were a photo album that your relative made you sit down on the couch and look at!
We arrive on Drummond – the rive is open – no icebreaker needed.Some still walk on water – on an ice flow, that is!See, this deer has expanded it’s territory – both spits of land are now his/her domaine – the ice makes it all like one.This Robin found food in a little snow melt puddle.Out in the gap, the freighter beats toward the Soo Locks – They have been open for some time now!OOPS!, the weather on the Island if ofter fickle in the spring – can’t even see if a freighter is heading north this evening!But when the sun is shinning the horses head for their beach – there is a sand pit placed by the barn for their pleasure on spring days like this!So, create a snapshot album of your day – save and enjoy later – make relatives sit down and look at it too. You may not want to scroll down to the last snapshot – but I had to include it since I am showing a album of the real spring on Drummond!I really hesitated placing this snapshot here – but this is a true story of spring – and last winter the coyote needed to survive also – and the subject shown here is no different then the ribs we had for our BBQ on the fourth!
