Migrating to warmer weather...

Here's some breathtaking pictures I took at Campground Voyageur, Ontario, towards the end of September. It was an amazing sunset decorated with moving "V" formations of  migrating ducks. At this spot we could hear hundreds (if not more) of ducks quacking noisily in some nearby lake, while watching dozens landing close by. It was funny to hear their 'quacks' settle down and then start all over again when we suppose another batch of them landed. We added human subtitles such as "Hey! watch out for my wing!" "Dont land on my head!" "Arg! More late comers!Next time we'll sleep at a smaller less crowded lake!" just for the fun of it.


It makes me wonder about migrating to warmer latitudes too. You have to admit it is a smart thing to do when subzero temperatures are to be expected in your near future...

The return to the ciber life

So I've been absent from this ciber presence since my grandma died... Fortunately, I've gathered some psychic and creative energy back, and hopefully I can keep this newly lit creative fire burning. So here's some pics I took on my recent trip to Saint John, New Brunswick, the land of the reversing falls, the fog and deep fried scallops!

The Black Magique Victorian Séance Of 2010

Late halloween post.. but great nonetheless... Thanks to our host at the Black Magique Victorian party for the ambiance and the professional shot. :D

Halloweeeen!

Inspired from makeup from Cirque du Soleil and Ana Arthur's Blog as a make-up artist!
I cant express how much I enjoyed putting on the makeup/mask, going out on the streets with it (Montrealers are too polite - they don't stare even if you want them to!!) and then taking all these amazing pics in a loft downtown set up with candle light... I LOVE HALLOWEEN! Thanks to Tamara and Chantal who took amazing pics of me!!

Purple african violets and more purple

A few focus experiments with my new DSLR camera... I like the focus/unfocused game within the image.

My gigantic African Violent with a ceramic sculpture done last year.
I love the discordance in proportions!
