Fall Walk

I kicked myself for not bringing the SLR camera on this walk...  But I was thankful that I at least had my point and shoot.  Some of them turned out a bit blurry (I think I am going to ask for a new point and shoot for Christmas...) but like I said, I was glad to have a camera at all.
It's a little late in the fall, so most of the beautiful colours were already brown-ish (hence the black and white).



Saw this little guy sun bathing for one of the last times this year

Hind sight is 20/20.  Now that I see this picture, I wish I tried a few different things...

Allegany State Park, Ellicottville & the State side of Niagara Falls

In August we took a weekend trip to Ellicottville, a very small town in New York.  Definitely a place to check out in the winter if you're a skiier or snowboarder.  We also decided to take a day trip to Allegany State Park.  I wish I had more time to check out the whole park.  It is massive!  Next year I hope to camp in the park and check out the bear caves!

Toronto Zoo - Stingray Bay

Back in June, my sister and I went to the Toronto Zoo.  I was really looking forward to Stingray Bay...  I took my Xacti for underwater shots and video.  Here's some of what I snapped!

These are stills taken from videos.  The rays move so fast it's a bit blurry.

Feeding time!

I also enjoyed the fish tanks with the exotic fish and the jellies!
