I finally was able to capture some photos of noctilucent clouds from our house. Very cool phenomenon. It was quite the show. They peak during the summer solstice and are visible from 1 to 2 hours after sunset and 1 to 2 hours before sunrise.
Here's a link if you want to learn more about them.

Spent the day at the Hartell Homestead for the store grand opening. Lots of interesting things to see including a few draft horse teams from Alberta Carriage Supply who were out to cultivate and seed some oats.

Life is getting way too busy. Although I haven't had the chance to get out as much as I would like, I've collected a few photos so far.

It's been a while since I updated my website and posted some current photos. Sometimes life just gets in the way. We've been taking regular long walks and I always carry my camera so I have taken lots of pictures, just haven't spent enough time on the computer posting them.

I've been out to Kananaskis a couple times now. Really looking forward to spring and doing some hiking.

The moon photography opportunities right in my backyard have been amazing.

I found a place to sit and watch the local mule deer while on my walk around Turner Valley on the weekend.

The predicted big Aurora event was a bust for me on December 9. It was my first attempt at photographing the aurora in Alberta since moving to the Turner Valley, Black Diamond, area. I found out quick I'll have to go further west or east to escape the glow from Calgary. Since I was out anyway and I could see the Milky Way with my naked eye, I turned the camera west and shot 30 exposures that were merged later in Sequator. I also ignored the Calgary glow and shot a few photos looking towards Turner Valley and Black Diamond. The Aurora apps are predicting big numbers again tonight so hopefully they show up.

We've had a busy fall getting moved to Turner Valley, Alberta but I'm finally settled in and getting out to take some photos of the amazing scenery around here. The photo opportunities I've had right from my own backyard have been amazing.

I haven't ventured too far outside of town a lot yet but have been out a few times to visit The Hartell Homestead, Sheep River Falls, Elbow Falls and The Friendship Trail.

2020 hasn't been kind to any of us. Most racing schedules have been cancelled but hopefully racing starts again in late July or August. In the meantime, I decided to experiment a bit with collages and put together some images for people to use as cell phone wallpaper. Here are a few samples I put together.

I also put together a few collages honoring the hard working club members and volunteers that make all of the local motorsports events a great success.
