New camera day! I picked up an old micro 4/3 OM-D E-M1 and snapped a few photos around my local beaver pond. The colour photo is a JPEG straight out of the camera. I made the b/w photos to test the tonal range of the new system.

I love the idea of M4/3 for backcountry tripping; lighter gear on portages and fully weather sealed. This rig is apparently resistant to freezing, too. It won't be long before I can test that.

Fog rolling in from Lake Superior onto Sandy Beach. Eventually the fog will lift and the sun will shine again.

Sometimes you have to look beyond the darkness to see the light.

Here are a couple of our backyard visitors today: a dark-eyed junco (Junco hyemalis) and a black-capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus).

During a mid-fall camping trip, this pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus) surprised us on our campsite and stuck around long enough to have his photo taken. What a treat!

On a recent hike through the backcountry, I came across this photogenic little squirrel, who was all too willing to pose for the camera.
