Muskoka Bay Club

Hole #1 - Muskoka Bay Club, Ontario

Muskoka Bay Club is one of finest golf clubs in Canada. The course is simply breathtaking and undoubtedly a challenge even for the the best of golfers. This is the view of the pro teeing ground for hole one. Below the cliff to the left you see the 4 other teeing grounds for the less skilled. I don't golf but had the opportunity to tour part of the property and hope to return for more photography.

My son has patiently waited for almost 2 months for me to recover from my eye surgery. All the promises of ice fishing finally came true this week (March break).

This image and the video below were taken with the awesome little Canon D10, an excellent outdoors camera.

The video of the fishing trip!

Cabin Fever! Bored while I recover from surgery I decided to try out Gordon's (oldwirld) advise for shadows on cars. Gordon is the master at producing these amazing car images and has an impressive photostream filled with classic cars.

Thanks Gord for the tip.

I think I did ok for being able to see with just one eye!

A Beautiful Day

A Beautiful Day

Thank you all for the kind words on my last post, it was greatly appreciated.

Eye Update - Last Wednesday I underwent emergency surgery in Ottawa for my left eye’s retinal detachment. I got the infamous scleral buckle surgery plus a vitrectomy. The procedure went well and I’m now recovering. I can’t see out of the operated eye yet as it is filled with gas and this will take many weeks (4 to 6) to dissipate and regain vision. Amazingly the pain this time around was negligible as compared to the buckle I got back in 2007. I don’t know if it’s because this procedure was performed while I was awake (no general anesthesia) or if the technique has imporved but I can tell you I’m so happy I didn’t go through the excruciating pain of 2007. Now I sit and wait to see well again.

From Hobby to Craft
The retinal detachment of 2007 was a life changing experience and a turning point in my photography. My deep appreciation and gratification for seeing turned my hobby into a craft and provided a source of endless motivation to get out there and capture Mother Nature’s beauty. Over the last few months I’ve been absent from my craft as I built my garage and had to get cataract surgery(yes in the eye that just got operated). This time away combined with this new detachment made me realize just how much I miss my photography and how much I can’t wait to get back at capturing the beauties I see.

Don’t expect anything from my stream for awhile and I look forward to coming back.
