Lens Artists Challenge – On the Move

Posted on November 16, 2025 by Mama Cormier

…this week Johnbo asks if you like to travel https://photobyjohnbo.com/2025/11/15/lens-artists-challenge-374-on-the-move/

My answer is simply, ‘yes’. I do enjoy travelling. I’m not a hugh fan of flying but since two of my three children and my two grandchildren live 1000s of kilometres away, flying is the fastest and most convenient mode of transportation. Closer to home I enjoy travelling by train and car and even in London I prefer the overground rail system.

Everyone Should See This

There are many places in the world that I think people should see but being Canadian and trying to promote Canada to international travellers and Canadians I am setting my sites on New Brunswick and the Hopewell Rocks Provincial Parks. This is a natural site and greatly affected by weather such as hurricanes and severe storms so I wouldn’t put off visiting this beautiful area for too long. You never know.

From the Irving Eco Centre in New Brunswick on the North Atlantic Ocean. This was taken in October 2023 when we did a road trip to the East Coast. Both my husband and I agreed that the cloud formations were spectacular.

…thanks to Patrick Jennings for hosting the Pic and Word Challenge https://pixtowords.com/2024/11/06/shoreline-pic-and-a-word-challenge-394/

Most of the year I live close to the shoreline of Lake Ontario and in the summer my cottage is a two minute walk from Georgian Bay.

I’ve also been lucky enough to walk along the shoreline of the Bay of Fundy and the shorelines of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick on Canada’s East Coast.

Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge – Bridges

Posted on January 22, 2024 by Mama Cormier

…thanks to Sue W and GC for hosting Weekly Prompts https://weeklyprompts.com/2024/01/20/weekly-prompts-weekend-challenge-bridge/

Ever since I started teaching the unit on Bridges from the grade 5 curriculum I’ve been somewhat obsessed with them. I love bridges but I wish I had more photos. The following bridges are from Venice, Florence, Loire Valley in France, London over the Thames, from Ontario, P.E.I., New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
