Another year is over. I think it was a good year after all for us here. I was not very busy on MyOnlyPhoto blog; however, I continue to photograph everything and anything. I am now carrying two cameras on my shoulder: the Canon 7D and the Canon 20D, which I fixed not too long ago. I am still hovering around my town with Matthew by my side, as I cannot go far from home. I think it would be a little too much for a three-year-old.
My focus this year was where I live. We have a very rich history here in town, and we are surrounded by beautiful nature trails. It will take ages to explore them all, so I am going to continue to focus my photographic energy in that area.
The above photo shows our local picnic pavilion in the Sheppard's Bush Conservation Area, which is about 65 acres in size and has over 3 kilometres of hiking trails. Sheppard's Bush also has a maple syrup evaporator hut. As I said, our town has so much, and I have not seen it all yet. One of them is that I've never attended the maple syrup-making festivities.
The beauty of winter is that you get this beautiful black and white effect that surrounds warm objects. The first photo is only cropped; no editing was done. The natural wood colour makes this photo very magical. However, I discovered a new editing tool in Google Photos and tried some of the effects. I thought I would show off my experiment in the second photo. Whoever comes up with the editing algorithms is doing a wonderful job and making my life easier.

I hope you and your family have a Happy and Healthy New Year!
Love your photos... That snow looks so inviting. I'm one who loves snow --yet we don't get too much... When we do get some, I'm the happiest gal in the world...
Happy New Year to you and yours.
Hugs,
Betsy
As regards cameras, I find Canon is quite good.
I wish you and Matthew and all your family a Serene and Joyful 2012!
As always, your photos are strikingly beautiful. I actually like the first one the best. Winter offers so many wonderful photo opportunities for an artist like yourself. I bet you could take some fantastic pictures on my old neighborhood - Death Valley.
Happy new years to you my good friend, and may all good things come your way.
Happy trails
Wish you and your family a happy and prosperous New Year 2012!
hugs and love

I haven’t been a regular blogger lately for the lack of the time.
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and best wishes for a Happy 2012 for you and your family! I am sorry that I didn’t send my greetings earlier, for which I apologize.
Hug,

Convey my regards to Matthew and i wish you all a very Happy New year :)
I see you have kept your blog going and I have missed you and your posts. I'm thinking of starting up again, as I've neglected it for awhile.
Hope all is well, dear Anna!
