This is my contribution to the Cosmic Photo Challenge: A Vision of Tomorrow/Through the Eyes of Yesterday.

It’s well known that tomorrow never comes but winter will be arriving in Ontario at some point in the near future. So for the “through the eyes of yesterday” I went with a couple of photos from two years ago. Both were taken when it was still autumn but show what was and is coming.

Snow on autumn leaves.

A splash of green.

Something about a Pea green boat,

Except that this is a lake, not a sea,

And it’s fog rather than mist,

Where’s the Owl and the Pussy-Cat?

This is my contribution to the Cosmic Photo Challenge: The End of Summer.

I decided to go with a small selection of photos from the weekend as we’re nearly at the end of the summer.

Storm clouds over Wiarton Marina and Colpoy’s Bay on Saturday morning. It won’t be long before all the boats are being pulled out of the water.

A couple of shots of buildings on High Street in Southampton, Ontario, Canada showing the variety of building and architectural styles found in many small Canadian towns.

Another small town in Ontario, Canada. This is the old grocery store in Wiarton on the South Bruce Peninsula. Replaced by a new store on the other side of the town it’s been standing empty for years becoming a bigger eyesore by the month. You would think a town trying to attract more tourists would do something about it.

This is my contribution to the Cosmic Photo Challenge: Colour Me Cosmic.

I went with a couple of recent shots that were already colourful and pumped the colour up even more in Snapseed.

A group of Coneflowers taken on my first outing with the Samyang 12mm lens I recently added to my lightweight kit.

A recent sunrise. I spotted the interesting clouds over Colpoy’s Bay and made a detour to the shoreline. Taken with a 12 year old DSLR and the plastic kit lens it came with. I keep it in the car for situations like this.
