A digitaly manipulated photo to appear as a painting.The mountain stream helps substain life both below and above the surface.A stream’s ecosystem includes the area immediately around the stream—the damp banks and vegetation on both sides, the trees that hang over it, the air above it. And it includes the stream’s entire watershed as well.We should do what we can to help preserve these beautiful wonders of nature before much of its flora and fauna are gone.

Another Orton Effect
Over the last summer and fall, I must have taken over a thousand shots of this old buck alone. He was around most of the mornings when River and I were in the woods. Sometimes he was playful, other times very hungry so he simply ignored the camera and kept on eating but this morning he was pensive and wanted a portrait to express just that! I guess I grew quite attached to him!
It was a freezing crisp day, -27 in Park Voyageur. This is the little footbridge that leads to the frozen lake. There was not a soul out there in this cold, not even the birds or deer or squirrels, just River and me, the “die-hards”. :) I really LOVE frames so I’m making a “proper” frame for it as it feels “naked” without it. :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Algonquin Park
This is a photo taken just before dawn in the woods of Mont Laurier, just before one reaches Val D’or, where one drives in the nearby Canadian national park for hours with only nature and wildlife. It’s a winter morning at about 5:30am and the camera is pointed away from where the sun was to come up.
This is one of the sunrise shots at the north of Montreal in the mountains near Gigi’s home, in a freezing Sunday morning where my fingers feel like the freezing chairs in the picture. :) Thank you for taking me there Gigi! I guess one could say that I love anything that has to do with nature including the living beings, the woods, the trees, the rivers and streams, and the mountains of course, but the sunrise – I can never get enough “watching” of the few minutes each day when the sun comes up. Is it a “passion”, well…. :)
My mule deer family was having an intense discussion about something – I suspected that it was about River who mistook herself for a fawn! :) They knew that the fawns “initiated” her “identity confusion” – not sure River, or most of the fawns, wanted to “fix” it though, as they all seemed to enjoy a “dog-fawn” among them. :)
In the flurry, River and I drove out of the city and waited for the sunrise and it came! :) So, this is my last Sunrise of this year! And I hope you all like it. :) This is my way of saying: Happy New Year everyone!

Each of us are different. How we go about doing things may be different also. Some may go with the main flow of life and some the less traveled paths. Each of us has something to contribute though, and that diversity in itself helps us to be individuals. So don’t worry about if you go with the flow or a different less traveled path.

This is a shot of the Middle Prong Little River in the Tremont area of the Great Smoky Mountains. Its flow is low due to lack of rain. Even though the normal rapid areas isn’t there new smaller ones appear and have a quality all their own.

Suddath Due to a successful brook trout restoration program, for the first time in 30 years, anglers are now able to fish for brook trout in park streams of the Smoky Mountains. These streams were once ruined by logging. The brook trout was also rooted out my non native rainbow and brown trout. Our waters are precious for our life and all of natures, help keep them clean.

Feel The Coolness On Your Skin / As You Set Beside Me Close Your Eyes And Be Lost in Thought…
In the stars His handiwork I see, / On the wind He speaks with majesty. / Though He ruleth over land and sea, / What is that to me? / I will celebrate Nativity, / For it has a place in history, / Sure, He came to set His people free, / What is that to me? Till by faith I met Him face to face, / And I felt the wonder of His grace, / Then I knew that He was more / Than just a God who didn’t care, / That lived away out there / and ….. / Now He walks beside me day by day, / Ever watching o’er me lest I stray, / Helping me to find that narrow way, / He is everything to me.
