Smartphone Photo Challenge – Week 9 – Mood
….thanks to Maranto Photography for hosting the Smartphone Photo Challenge
The mood here is serene and calm. I tried to capture the warmth of the setting sun even though the temperatures were hovering around freezing. I added more saturation and vibrance to this photo.
For this one I added more contrast and vibrance. This intensified the colour of the water and helped to make the foreground and swan stand out more. Capturing the swan between the branches gives this photo a bit of a mysterious mood.

I am naturally drawn to water. Good thing because I live right next to Lake Ontario and have a cottage on Georgian Bay.
The Benefits of Rising Early
….quiet and the sunrise
I’m normally a night owl and don’t tend to wake before 8:00 in the morning. Today, however, I had to drive my daughter to the airport so I was up at 6:00. It was still dark when we left the house shortly after 6:30 but on my return I could see an orange line along the horizon. It was bitter cold but I decided to venture out of the car when I reached the park at the end of our street and I started to take a few shots of the sky over the lake. In the first shot you can still see the moon in the sky.
The waves and the freezing temperatures created some beautiful natural ice sculptures along the shoreline.
Just when I thought it couldn’t get better the sun actually came up over the horizon line. It was spectacular.
An Icy Morning Light
….thanks to Becky B for hosting January Squares
I had to get up very early this morning to drive my daughter to the airport. The plus side of this favour was that I was up early enough to see the sunrise. I loved playing around with different angles and was fascinated how the morning sun reflected off the icicles along the shoreline.

The other morning the rising sun was so bright that it actually woke me up. I was so excited to see the sun come up over the lake because I’m normally sound asleep when this happens.

The Beauty and Power of Lake Ontario
….caught these images in a two hour window of sunshine today
Lake Ontario sits about 100 metres from my house. After a miserable day of rain yesterday and grey skies this morning the sun decided to come out. It was a glorious period of time, although short and I managed to get some photos of the lake as the waves crashed along the shoreline. I also managed to get in a two hour walk through the neighbourhood and explored some areas that I had never seen before (more about that in another post).
