…thanks to Becky B for hosting January Squares
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.

….thanks to Cee for hosting the Black and White Photo Challenge
I found it quite difficult to change moving water photos from colour to black and white. For some reason the amount of light in some of the photos that looked fantastic in colour were a complete washout in black and white. I tried to make some adjustments but it didn’t always work.

….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).

….it wasn’t windy but you wouldn’t have known it from the waves that hit the shoreline
Up at the cottage when the waves come in off of Georgian Bay they usually last three days. We’ve always called it ‘a three day blow’. This week we seemed to be experiencing the same thing here on Lake Ontario. There was very little wind but the lake was rolling in like we were in the middle of a storm. The first set of shots were taken in the evening two nights ago and the following were taken the next day during the day.
….thanks to Trent’s World for hosting Smile of the Week
Last night as I was leaving the lawn bowling club I was awestruck by the full moon over the lake. It definitely brought a smile to my face.
…thanks to Granny Shot It for hosting the Water, Water Everywhere Photo Challenge
I love this challenge because I am truly drawn to water and am surrounded by it at home and at the cottage.
