The vacations are soooooo nice.

Today a little bit of rain, good, I can take some time to write this post.

In addition to cycling, we are taking a lot of walks along the sea shore. It is full of life.

Here is a juvenile Killdeer, then again I may be wrong… I am not an expert…

Kiffa is my neighbour kitty. She loves to spend long hours in the front window.

Yesterday she showed me her tonsils…

There is a bird of prey on the Horizon that caught the eye of Rubis.

Easier to see if you enlarge the image by clicking on it.

Picture taken during a pleasant evening walk, fields of Notre-Dame-de-l’Ile-Perrot.

Did I ever tell you how much I love the 50mm lens? I know, I know, I repeat myself. Seriously what a lens.

Ok, here is the truth, my dog comes from Mars.

This image will bring memories for the folks of my generation. I had the old TV series “My favorite Martian” on my mind when I composed this shot. A TV show that I religiously watched when I was a kid.

Spotted by a pond at the Ecomuseum (Montreal West-Island). I did this image with a LensBaby Composer and it’s macro kit.

I really enjoy those walks with Rubis, there are always excellent photo opportunities.

It is also a great occasion to use the iPhone photo capabilities. For this shot, I used “Camera Genius” for a 3 seconds timer.

I shoot while walking, varying the speed of my footsteps to play with the shadows.

On board the iPhone, I have an application, Drop Box that allows me to easily share that image with my MacBook pro.

From there, I complete the job with Aperture.

Monsieur Mimi is a compagnon of Zoro et “ptit” Bob . The light was just “irresistible”.

Weird but, since I had my incident with the D90, I do more and more images with the iPhone or others old cameras. I really like the challenge they bring.

2 shot taken with the iPhone, 2 nice cats from Ile-Perrot (west of Montreal).

“The one is Zoro and the second one is “ptit” Bob.” Says a good friend of mine.
