Dog Sledding in Collingwood

January 12, 2012

With Brian as our guide, Terry, Carmen and I ventured off to a day of adventures in Collingwood, about 2hrs North of Toronto.


Meeting bright and early, we made good progress in Brian’s modified Jeep Cherokee.

There was fresh snow the night before and the jeep feels extremely stable in the snow.

Off-roading in some small back roads. At one point we ran over a patch of ice and the jeep was sliding back down!


This is Doug, the owner of Rob Roy Farm.

At the farm they have dog sledding programs in the winter. The beautiful dogs sleeps outside in their own kennel.

A barn used for storage in the winter. Some really cool collection of stuff accumulated over the years.

We were very fortunate there was fresh snow and Doug happen to setup the teams for training so we stayed for some dog sledding!


Even though it is a pretty short track, it is amazing how much power the dogs can muster.

And we get to feed donkeys too!

Jail Bird

We had a 10 minute staring contest. The security guard ruined the game.

Messy likes chicken wings, beef jerky, tummy rubs.


And of course, sleep.

What a life!

A Walk in the Park with FA*300mm

March 18, 2009

It is crunch time for projects, labs, and reports but I just couldn’t resist the nice weather and went out for some shooting. I took the FA*300mm/4.5 ED [IF] and focused my attention on the Canadian Geese in the park. The lens never cease to amaze me with its resolving power, here you can see the water droplet falling from the beak of the goose.


It was getting a little dark but I tried to freeze the movements. Here a goose coming in for landing.


Shaking the water from the feathers.

5 days till Symposium…back to work!
