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.

Early migration!

Sometimes you get lucky! 🍀

I was out doing a pattern study when I heard a commotion overhead. I turned, flipped to a custom shooting mode, and held down the shutter button!

An enormous flock of birds flew right over the bridge I was standing on and across an early sunset. Rain was coming in from the west, making for a dramatic background.

It was hot, humid, and muggy, but I'm glad I went out anyway. You never know what you'll capture!

Let me know whether you like the first or second shot better! 😄

Walk around #Waterford with me. (8 of 8)

Underneath the only overpass in town, kids have created some amazing underground art. Never underestimate someone's desire to tag a wall! 😂

Walk around #Waterford with me. (7 of 8)

Despite living in Waterford for almost 20 years, I had never noticed this mural at the Waterford Heritage & Agricultural Museum! It's around the back and partially covered by a tool shed.

Hopefully, with the recent renovations happening in the area, more people will see and appreciate that art and its message.

Walk around #Waterford with me. (6 of 8)

The amazing texture of the tree stump contrasts with the soft flowers embracing it. I think the flowers will fully cover the stump in a few more seasons. But until then…

Walk around #Waterford with me. (5 of 8)

The local public library has never looked more striking! These geometric lines cast by the harsh light aren't unique, but I love them. I think they're perfect for black-and-white photography.

Walk around #Waterford with me. (4 of 8)

I have no idea what kind of plant this is! 😂

Given the shape of the leaves, I'm guessing it's a weed, but the purple flower is beautiful.

Walk around #Waterford with me. (3 of 8)

I love how the shadow carves across this back alley. In the summer these trees cast so much shade that the grass begins to die.

Walk around #Waterford with me. (2 of 8)

The lily pads are bountiful in the spring. Sadly they only last for a month before they're gone. They're one of my favourite parts of spring down at the ponds.

Walk around #Waterford with me. (1 of 8)

Waterford is a small town. Even so, there are still interesting things to photograph. No matter where you live, you can find something.

Hopefully the last #winter shot of the season! 😄

Captured during an early Spring surprise blizzard. A day later all this was gone. There is something about snow that begs for black and white.

Farming can be an isolating experience.

I'm sure that just over the horizon there is a bunch of activity as planting season is upon us. But the land is expansive; the sky is endless; and we're but a small part of it all.

Moody tree! 😂

The lake was frozen, the sky was dramatic, and the tree was in silhouette.

No matter how many times I photograph this tree, the feeling is different. Got to love nature!

Ice drops growing from the lake!

Amid an early Spring snowstorm, these ice drops were growing up from the frozen lake. I've never seen anything like this before. Glad I braved the blizzard as they were gone the next day.

Going to be a while before anyone rides again.

Nature is reclaiming this bicycle as it fades into the overgrowth. In a few months, it will be invisible as all the leaves obscure the metal.

I'm kind of surprised no one from the local antique market has claimed it for restoration.
