Back In Calgary

Now this is is a real departure for me – I took a photo during the day!
Either way, I was about 5 minutes from home and these clouds looked amazing at sunset, and the Rockies looked much larger than usual off in the distance. I may be missing all the great street life of Toronto, but Calgary has some equally great natural landscapes nearby.

Spring Shower

Note: The shallow depth of field resulted in the weeds in the foreground being out of focus.

This photograph was taken Sunday afternoon during a senior portrait session.  The forecast stated sun and clouds but no rain. However, about 10 minutes into the session the skies turned black and a very hard rain shower came through.  Fortunately there was a gazebo that we could take cover under.  As we talked about the senior’s future plans for college and a career, we listened to the rain and watched the geese, who had been honking at us angrily moments before, and the Mallard swim in the rain.  The shower lasted for about 15 minutes before the sun briefly graced us with her presence again.

I’ll be posting some shots from the portrait session on Instagram later this week.  Be sure to follow me on Instagram or at my personal blog: Robyn Graham Photography to see more of my work.

Far Far Away …

I spent my New Year by the sea and walked during a long time on the beach.
It was so pleasant !

Oh chère mer,
Vois-tu le trou béant ?
Oui, là où se trouvait mon cœur.

Il n’y reste qu’un goût amer,
Laissé par mon tendre Océan,
Qui s’en est allé, me voila en pleure.

Oh dear sea
You see the gaping hole?
Yes, where my heart was.

There remains a bitter taste
Leave by my tender Ocean
Who is gone, here me crying.
