It didn't matter how many times I clicked the heels of my little red welly's, the 50+ winds still threatened to blow me and the tents away to some place other than OZ
There is something so special about the Canadian Shield. With vast, smooth slabs of granite, covered with a multi coloured patch work of moss and lichen. Winds swirling from the cool waters of Georgian Bay. Mosquitoes and black flies nipping at your nose … eyes, ears or anything else that might be exposed! And this is how three close friends of mine and I spent our May long weekend – camping.

Our three day in-field mentoring session was one focused on early AM rises to catch the first rays of morning light. Discussing visual attributes of having strong, interesting fore-ground, mid-ground and back-ground. In search of beaver ponds and granite rock formations with windswept Eastern White Pine, all characteristics of the islands and much of the shoreline of the bay. The rugged beauty of the area inspired landscapes by artists of the Group of Seven, painters and photographers alike.
On this particular trip, I really wanted to capture the true essence of the traditional Northern Ontario scene. Finding the right composition of water, rock and tree - ever so difficult, as the typical Carolina Forests can lend to a noisy (messy) image.
