Colour on a Cold Day.

Mid-April, and it was snowing and cold this morning! Spring in Canada. 🇨🇦

At the End of the Day. Late November and most of the day was overcast (with early morning snow.) Managed to get out for the brief moment the sun peaked through the clouds. Lasted only a few minutes, but it was worth it. // Sony α6700 / Sigma 18-50mm ƒ/2.8 DC DN | Contemporary . © 2024, Robert James Kaes 🚫 Not AI-generated . #photography #smalltownphotography #photooftheday #artofvisuals #naturelovers #coloursofnature #itsamazingoutthere #exploremore #landscapephotography #naturephotography #magicalmoments #blueskyatnight #sunset #peakingthroughtheclouds

Autumn Heron.

I've never seen a heron down at the pond! (I'm not sure I've ever seen a heron in real life, but certainly not at our local pond.)

This is one of those times I wish I had a longer telephoto lens. 🙁

Before November Gales.

Last week, we had a few beautiful days when the sunset illuminated the forest. Less than a week later, the trees have almost no leaves left. It was a "catch it while you can" kind of autumn.

Pumpkin Tower.

Our local community celebrates Pumpkinfest every year. One of the traditions is that the local grade-school students carve pumpkins and bring them to the arena for display.

My daughter has aged out of this tradition, but the tower is still cool. 😄

We were fortunate to have great weather all weekend long.

Bunny!

In our backyard, bunnies show up to eat all the time. Our friend here was hiding under our side hedge. I managed to get pretty close (as I was shooting with a prime lens) before she hopped away.

The great thing about bunnies is that they will freeze, which makes taking their portrait so much easier! 🤣
