The Andromeda galaxy  -  Middle North Shore of Quebec, Canada

The Andromeda galaxy - Middle North Shore of Quebec, Canada

On one of the few clear night skies we had over a 3 week period, I took my Seestar S30 Pro out and captured the Andromeda galaxy for 90 minutes. The region I was in lies under Bortle 4 skies so perfect to capture deep sky objects. This was my first try at capturing this galaxy and no other editing apps were used.

Aurora and light streaks - Saskatchewan Canada

I took this photo 2 years ago on a visit out west, but have no clue as to what caused these streaks,

Going to surprise his sweetheart

Just happened to get a shot of this males right before he surprised the female by jumping on her back. This was obviously taken in the spring during mating time.

Coast in the Minganie region of Quebec

A lady from the area directed us to this spot and we fell in love with it. The varied landscapes are stunning and there are many little gems to discover. You'll find many trails to follow in the region but keep in mind that some trail info has not been updated and a few may be closed. We had to turn back on a few of them. Some are in the back country so to speak and can be difficult to find as they are not well indicated, and many are better traveled in a pick-up or SUV. Happy trails everyone :-)

I gaze in awe at the night sky

I will never get tired of gazing at the Milky Way no matter where I am. How tiny we are in all of this beauty.

Black-backed woodpecker - Northern Quebec

We were sitting in the trailer we rent each year at our favorite campground when I heard a rap-tap-tap-tap. I almost didn't go out with my camera thinking it was probably a downy woodpecker and I've seen plenty around Montreal. I took a chance and stepped outside only to see a woodpecker I had never seen before. I'm lucky I even managed to get a shot as he kept going around the tree trunk 😂

Auroras - Mingan region on the North Shore of Quebec

Sorry for the quality of the photos but I was trying to hold my phone steady on the top of my car. This year I'll have my regular camera set up on my tripod and ready to capture more of these nighttime wonders.

Cape Jourimain lighthouse - New Brunswick

This historical lighthouse sits on the shore of the Northumberland Straight between New Brunswick and PEI. It had to be moved back further on the point a few times due to erosion.

Walking on the dock of the bay - Sept-îles Quebec

The dock is a regular gathering place during the day and evening. The bay is 45 square kilometers and was discovered by the explorer Jacques Cartier in 1535.

Beauties in the shade

I love Lily of the Valley. Smaller things in nature hold a beauty onto their own.

Another pretty boy - Montreal (OC)

I just love it when they perch and stand still long enough for me to get a few photos 😍
