In the course of a year, I usually take well over 10,000 photos.  By far the majority of these are taken in Ontario at agricultural fairs and fesitvals where the Robertson Amusements Midway is playing, and at the Ottawa Valley Farm Show in Ottawa.  When you shoot that many pictures, the odds are that every once in a while, there's going to be a couple that stand out from the rest.  That's what you'll find here - some of my all-time favourite photos.

     Double Rainbow at Metcalfe Fair
This was a lucky shot taken at the 2003 Metcalfe Fair, just south of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.  The double rainbow lasted less than a minute and was at it's peak when I snapped this photo. The resolution of this photo is lower than most of these photos - my camera at the time was a 3 megapixel Nikon 995.

Little Firefighter
I was thinking of my youngest son when I took this shot at the 2007 Barrie Kempenfest. I'll bet that in 20 years or so, this little guy might be a firefighter too.
And ... ACTION!!
Mom gets a great shot of the kids at Sauble Beach
on Lake Huron  as the sun sets into the clouds on the horizon behind them.  This photo was taken about a half hour before my Sauble Beach Sunset photo.
American Falls at Night
One of the spectacular evening scenes at Niagara Falls is this view of the illuminated American Falls. This shot was taken shortly after the lights came on, around 8:40 pm, Friday, August 28, 2009
This is a real photo. They did get to swim in the tub in the winter time.
                        Duck Bath
Meet Bonnie and Clyde, a pair of Grey Call ducks who were family pets for several years.  What do you think?  Is this 2004 photo real, or Photoshop faked?
Those of you who know me will probably get it wrong.
They Ate It, Mom!
There's something of interest to everyone
at the Floral Clock in Niagara Falls, Ontario.
Horse Pull
Tractor and Horse Pulls are popular events at many agricultural fairs in Eastern Ontario.
This photo was taken at the 2009 Perth Fair
Horse Pull
Many of the horses seem to enjoy the competition as much as their human partners.
