Sugarbush = Springtime

Spring is right around the corner which means it's time for a trip to the Sugarbush for some Maple Syrup and Pancakes.  I participated in a Photo Workshop hosted by Alain Simard at Foulton's Pancake House and Sugarbush.   http://www.fultons.ca and got some wonderful pictures of our outdoor adventure.

The weather was a little cold so the sap was only running on certain trees that were in the sun.  The old tree behind the cooking shed was one of the few trees with the sap running.
Our Workshop included a sleigh ride into the Sugarbush.  Beautiful!

The horses hard at work.

We had breakfast before our Workshop. (Pancakes, Sausages and Maple Syrup ofcourse)  Very yummy.  To complete our day, we got to sample some Maple Taffy.

This is the Old Elephant Tree that is found on the yellow trail.  Thanks to Alain for lending me his coat so I could lie on the ground and get this shot.

About Me

My photo
Ottawa, Canada
My family moved from Oakville, Ontario to Pembroke, Ontario in 1976 and from the moment I arrived in the little town of Pembroke my goal was to leave but with being 7 years old I had a number of years to wait. Attending Champlain High School and trying to decide my future, I was determined to go to Sheridan College in Oakville and take the Journalism Program there. I took a Co-op credit through High School and did my work experience at a local Pembroke weekly newspaper where they gave me a notepad, a pen, a camera and sent me out in the vast city of Pembroke. My favourite weekly task was to go to the local human society and take a picture of the Pet of Week. I actually loved my time working on the paper but the photography portion interested me more than the writing. My Journalism dreams didn’t happened but my love of photography carried with me but in the past few years I’ve started to become more and more interested in the technique of photography and in 2009 I received my first DSLR camera and have become a photography junkie. I’m hoping you enjoy following this blog and watch my love for photography grow with each posting.
