Cobourg, Ontario is known for its beautiful natural beach. This image was taken in the early morning at the private beach of The Breakers In.

Cobourg, Ontario has an excellent Youth Sailing School in the summer where they are taught sailing, kayaking, paddle boarding and team canoeing. These were some of their canoes and kayaks resting on the shore of the marina.

“After The Storm”
August 12, 2023, a huge band of storms passed across the Province of Ontario. This was taken as the clouds parted and the most brilliant sunshine produced spectacular images in the clouds.

Cobourg Lighthouse, Ontario. An Iconic landmark on the north shore of Lake Ontario marking the entrance to the Marina, a popular destination for all boaters. A Fine Art edit.

The small soft feather, abandoned plumage, lay still in the wet sand. The fine hairs on each spine still fresh, not damaged from its fall, nor from the water lapping along the shore.

Lake Ontario, Canada. It was a sultry evening with very little wind, then, suddenly the wind picked up; our master sailor turned the boat and the sails filled like lungs breathing fresh air and we sailed into the sunset.

Inside a salsify seed head, often mistaken for a dandelion. The sunlight glistened on the fine hairs of its complex woven orb. I used the 2.5x lens of iPhone 12 Pro Max to capture the detail.

Macro photography using the moment macro lens attachment. This is the first appearance of a Flox flower deep inside the unraveling leaves.

Puddle Reflection. On a grey day, after a storm, black and white worked really well for this dramatic puddle reflection.

Abstract of a peony bloom. Every year these soft, flowing petals provide an early summer thrill to any garden.

The striking purple and white of this Iris against the soft orange of the evening sky proved to be the perfect contrast of colours. The low angle photo provided the sky as the backdrop for these stunning flowers.

This spectacular bed of tulips provided a beautiful array of colour at one of the gateway intersections of my home town known locally as the “Feel Good Town”. This low angle photo provided leading lines to the gazebo in the background.

This window reflection in Niagara Falls, Canada gives an ghostly appearance as if the people are approaching the limousine. I loved how this turned out using my iPhone 12pro max.

This was a wonderful hand-washing station in the Caribbean where the mirrors reflected architecture behind me. As I was setting up the shot, the girl with the red hair walked into the frame and turned to look at herself in the mirror just as I took the picture.

This photo was taken on the Celebrity Apex cruise ship. People were admiring the fading sunset from the balconies. Holding my iPhone against the glass window provided a stunning mirror image reflection.

This photo was taken from our balcony on the Celebrity Apex cruise ship as we docked at Key West. The red building is the old Customs House and stood high and proud amongst the rest of the town. The rising sun added its own spectacle to the landscape.

I call this photograph “Return to the Sea”. The seagulls were flying to the ocean during the last rays of light and I loved how the light reflects on the waves and the sand.

The orange platform restaurant is called the ‘Magic Carpet’ on the Celebrity Apex cruise ship and hangs over the side suspended over the ocean. I rested my camera against the window to capture this mirror image as we sailed out of Fort Lauderdale.

My husband and I were sat at a red stop light beside the Old City Hall, Victoria, British Columbia and across the street was this wonderful reflection in the window of the modern building. I love the juxtaposition of the old and new in this capture.
