▶︎ Ceci est une vue du fleuve Saint-Laurent à partir de la maison familiale et ce paysage a été partie de ma vie. C’est ici que j’ai grandi et je n’ai cessé d’apprécier cette vue en continuel changement selon la saison et l’heure de la journée. C’est l’endroit où je suis en paix, sereine de regarder le lent flot de la rivière.

▶︎ This field stone fence is about 6 feet wide and surrounds a now wooded property near Kolapore, Ontario. I have a lot of respect for the farmer that made this during their attempts at farming.

▶︎ A replacement of a 2 acre peninsula landscape after a lightning fire burned the site and summer home. A new porous crushed granite driveway. In the transitional forest between the boreal forest to the north, and the mixed forest to the south. The new native plants and soil were either transplanted from adjacent part of the property, or from local nursery stock.

▶︎The sun sets over an ice-encrusted field following the ice storm of December 2013, adding beauty and drama to an otherwise typical central Ontario farming landscape.

▶︎ In the heart of the City of Toronto, High Park protects and maintains a number of significant ecological features while providing a play space for hundreds of thousands of people. The Black Oak Savanna in the park is a reminder of the Carolinian landscapes that reach their northern limit in Ontario. It provides pleasure to both the enlightened ecologist as well as the cyclist speeding by on the park roadway.

▶︎ Along the shores of Lake Erie, the beach at Port Burwell Provincial park is an oasis to migratory birds that lift from the ground in large flocks as your beach walk disturbs their own day at the beach. The sandy beaches are a speckled with drift wood treasures washed up by the rolling waves.

▶︎ Precambrian Shield geology; a typical example of the rocky, windswept terrain throughout Killarney and the Georgian Bay coast.

▶︎ The Rosseau River tumbles down the rocky Canadian Shield over a series of drops as it enters Lake Rosseau, and, while one of the smaller Muskoka waterfalls, is one of the wilder.

▶︎ Canada's iconic Parliament Buildings are located on a limestone outcrop high above the Ottawa River and adjacent to he Rideau Canal. The Centre Block, including the Peace Tower, seen here is the main building of the Parliamentary complex and contains the House of Commons and Senate chambers. It is fine example of the Gothic Revival architectural style.

▶︎ Sugar Beach is one of Toronto's most innovative examples of landscape architecture in the urban setting. Designed by the renowned Landscape Architect Claude Cormier, this colourful man-made beach brings life to an otherwise deserted and derelict part of the city. This photo was taken during a long, tedious winter in Toronto, and I love how the candy pink umbrellas pop against the cold winter landscape.
