Week #8
True Canadian Hockey!!!
This last week in Ottawa has had major changes in the weather. We had one gorgeous Spring like day where a ton of the snow melted. This of course was the highlight of my week by far. This wonderful melt caused the large farm land/future new home known as the back view from my yard to look like a river. Well, that would have been fine but the next day we had an arctic chill come and froze all that water into a nice ice path. My son Riley noticed this frozen water in the field and decided that this would be the best hockey rink to play on. Every afternoon since his discovery he comes home from school and heads out the door with hockey skates, helmet, and stick in hand. A few of theses days were solo, then he got his dad to come play some hockey and finally coaxed his brother Cody to play with them. Myself and Bella stayed in and watched from the warmth of the living room window.
This view was the epitome of a true canadian experience and I needed to grab my camera and capture this site for them to remember for years to come.
The problem... I was not heading out in the single digit temps and crossing a creek to get close, so I grabbed my long lens and shot from the small crack I opened from the sliding glass door. I love the aged, old world look with the sunset glow that was coming behind them, even if the photos are a bit grainy from shooting so far away and in such low light they capture the moment. This is why I love photography!!
