  • We couldn’t have picked a more perfect day to have lunch and catch up at Tavern on the Hill. Feels like summer but definitely with some hints of autumn around the corner. #lovethistimeofyear #tgif #latesummer #gorgeousday #myottawa #yow #canadascapital #visitottawa #myhometown #tavernonthehill #beautyday #catchingup #goodcompany #fridayfun #getoutside #explorecanada
  • When I first moved to Cape Town in July 2000, I volunteered to help feed some of the penguins rescued and cleaned after an oil spill. They’ve held a special place in my heart ever since. These were taken last July, 18 years later. It’s so nice to see the colony is still going strong! . . . #penguins #babypenguin #conservation #savethepenguins #africanpenguins #bouldersbeach #bouldersbeachpenguins #capetown #capepeninsula #southafrica #visitsouthafrica #ilovepenguins #nikonphotographer #wildlifephotography #neverstopexploring #wanderlust #traveljunkie #traveltuesday
  • My favourite walk around/travel lens is the Nikkor 28-300mm. It may not be as fast or sharp as some of my more expensive zoom lenses but when you don’t want to be weighed down or don’t want to change lenses often, it’s so versatile. The first image is at 300mm and the second was taken at 28mm. Can you still spot the sailboat? This was taken last year while driving to Cape Point, South Africa. . . . #nikonphotographer #nikkor28300mm #travellens #wanderlust #traveljunkie #roadtrip #capepointpeninsula #visitsouthafrica #falsebay #zoom #latergram #ocean #sailing #besttravellens #itsnotthelensitsthephotographer #makeitwork
  • It’s not often I’m photographed doing what I love. I stumbled across these while going through photos from last year’s roadtrip from Cape Town, South Africa to Windhoek, Namibia with my family. I’ll be doing a presentation about it on Tuesday to the Ottawa Travel Meetup group so it’s been fun to go down memory lane! I’ll be posting more from this trip soon! Thanks @jamaswise for the photos and your incredible patience while I take “just one more!” 😂 . . . #inmyhappyplace #familyroadtrip #southafrica #westcoastnationalpark #birdphotography #birdhide #sunset #portraitofaphotographer #wanderlust #travelphotographer #ilovesunsets #memories #latergram #tamron150600mm
  • Bookended my summer with another trip to beautiful British Columbia. This time to Revelstoke for a family reunion that included a hike to Miller Lake. My feet were sore the next day but oh so worth it! I took a few with my Nikon but haven’t gone through them yet so here are my favourite iPhone pics. . . . #revelstoke #millerlake #hiking #mountainhike #familyhike #iphonexs #iphoneography #keenshoes #getoutside #mountainlife #mountainlake #weekendescape #beautifulbc #visitbc #parkscanada #parcscanada #lavieestbelle #shotoniphone
  • My thoughts are with all those affected by Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas and all those involved in the recovery efforts. This was taken when I was in Nassau a year and a half ago. One of the most beautiful double rainbows I’ve ever seen. . . . #bahamas #hurricanedorian #staystrong #afterthestorm #rainbow #doublerainbow #hope #nassau #breezesbahamas
