Default A labour of love

We get to enjoy a long weekend here in NA .. we celebrate the fact that we have to work for a living with a day off before we send the kids to school .. Labour Day!

I sat out last night waiting for the sky to clear ..

Long weekend moon

I got to take a nice hike on the Bruce Trail today..

bruce trail trail


I stumbled upon this little beauty..

berries on the trail

Then I met a beautiful Brunette in the pasture up the trail ..

pretty brunette

All that is now, all that is gone, all that's to come and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.


A lovely set Ian but they are all eclipsed by the moon, what a great shot

I have to agree with Beach Ian, all great shots mate but the moon is awesome. The detail is just so good. Your patience paid off with dividends. Nice work Ian.

I was afraid of that ..

Ian, I'm getting more and more impressed with your P &S. These are great shots and the moon is awesome my Friend. Having talent probably helps as well.
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.
