Hiking up a mountain in high heat and humidity without sufficient fitness levels was perhaps not the best decision ever made. It was however worth the effort. This trail was in Jacques Cartier National Park, Quebec, a stunning park centered around a meandering road through a mountain valley. I wish I could have gotten back for more photography but that will have to be on another trip. Near the end of the hike we stumbled onto an adorable family of Canada Geese....
A couple images from Grand Falls, New Brunswick on a quick stop during our drive to Quebec. Harsh light, I can only imagine what this place could be like during a golden hour.
I’ve posted photos from this location before, but it’s nice to revisit and try to refine. We’ve had a pile of rain lately so there’s a lot of water moving through which makes for some nice long exposures.
We’re fortunate enough to have a massive nature preserve just minutes from our house. The hiking can be rugged but it’s also possibly on the list to become a National Park. Out for a short hike after work, I found this rather lovely cascade a little downstream from where the trail crosses.
Haven’t been to this park since I was a kid, but while on the run from wildfires this sprint we were driving different routes and ended up stopping back here for a few moments on a very blustery day. Truly one of Nova Scotia’s most impressive Provincial Parks.
Had mere moments here before the fog rolled in, but managed to get a couple of my favorite photos of the lighthouse here yet.
