The Carleton Butterflies

Earlier this week I had the pleasure of attending Carleton University's annual Butterfly Exhibit. The exhibit is put on by the Department of Biology each year in late September, early October. It is a beautiful show to attend, and it is free! I know I am definitely going back next year. For more information on the annual Carleton Butterfly Exhibit, click here.

Dew Drops

There's a certain pride I find that photographers feel when they find something to photograph when they weren't expecting it. A little gem that they never thought they'd document. This morning I was watering the plants outside and noticed how the leaves on the lily plants were collecting the droplets. I promptly got my camera, my lens, and my macro adapter ring, and photographed the dew drops that I wasn't expecting on this fine day.

Recharge

It is so important to take time for yourself, to relax and recharge. For myself, often a walk through nature is the best way to do so (not to mention there are so many great photo opportunities!). Living in Ottawa, I am so lucky that there are so many nature trails nearby for me to recharge. This past week I headed out with my friend Avery (@averyphilpottphoto) to the Lime Kiln ruins on Moodie Drive to recharge, and I took some photos along the way.

Also, some great news! I am going to the Ottawa Comic Con on Saturday May 13! If you'll be at the Con, keep a look out for Piper Wright (if you don't know who that is, just look for me in a red trench coat :D ) taking photos of the attendees. Feel free to say hi! Especially if you'd like your picture taken.

Have a wonderful day!
