Brighton Pier
We had the most gorgeous weather on our day trip to Brighton Pier. To get from London to Brighton, we grabbed a train from Clapham Junction. The short ride along the bright green fields was lovely, especially in the morning. Upon leaving the station we immediately headed towards the ocean. Being close to the ocean is one of the reasons I moved to Halifax and Vancouver, there is nothing like the smell of salt water and the cool breeze. The pebble beach is stunning, and because it was slightly cool, not very crowded. Fun fact: I was looking on the Brighton website and learned there is “apparently around 614,600,000 pebbles on…

Limehouse Conservation Area
The trail through the Limehouse Conservation Area is gorgeous. When we reached Limehouse we found these beautiful, humungous mushrooms on a tree on the edge of a property. I love mushrooms, and seeing how large they can grow is incredible. We didn’t go deep into the area but there are lots of places to explore, including remnants of the of Lime industry. The Limehouse Kilns have been around since the late 1800s and are a must see when on the trail. It was a lovely, but muggy, overcast day. Everything in the forest was bright green, popping against the dark brown ground. Limehouse is a tiny town, but is surrounded by gorgeous woodlands. This…

Road Trip Across America
I recently moved from Vancouver, British Columbia back home to Georgetown, Ontario. After two and a half years I have acquired a lot of furniture, books and knick knacks, so the only way to get back is to drive. Going out west I did a road trip through Canada, this time my father and I drove across America. During the trip we saw Craters of the Moon National Monument, Yellowstone National Park and Mount Rushmore. It was an insane amount of driving but was worth the trip. One of my favourite random stops was Wall Drug. This roadside attraction is in Wall, South Dakota and has 5 cent coffee. The town…

Last American Sunset
Our last sunset in America was the perfect way to end our road trip. We drove for hours and hours, only stopping for food and bathroom breaks. This was exhausting but finally hitting the Canadian border was incredible. We made it home before midnight and had some much deserved Blue Moons. The last sunset was a beautiful end to a long day. Sunsets are my favourite thing to shoot and I love these shots, the colours are incredible. It is nice to be back in Ontario for the summer, but going from a city to a small town is an interesting change. I cannot wait for September when I make my…
