Reflections of Bon Echo

I realize that those of you on facebook have already seen these but I'm posting them anyway :)
On our way back from our hike the water was so calm I was able to shoot some near-perfect reflections.

This one is kind of a fluke. When I took the shot I initially cut off the tops of the trees so the reflection didn't look right; I decided to crop it down to just the reflection and it's not so bad now.

I just wish this one was a bit brighter.

I uploaded this to blogger by accident but the program wouldn't let me delete it. Weird!

The last boat ride

I'm back from a long weekend of relaxation at the lake. I took ~500 photos this weekend and my computer is being a bit uncooperative so here are the first ones I liked enough to post from what I shot on Saturday (Sunday and Monday to come). These were taken on my last boat ride of the season, on the way to and at Lost Lake.
I particularly like this first one because of the strange symmetry these trees have.

There is something about a lonely tree...

No edits at all, it was a perfect day on the lake!

I'm a big fan of the Tragically Hip so when we passed by this boat (it was docked), my dad knew he had no choice but to turn back so I could catch a shot of this witty boat name!This was taken off the dock at my parent's house. No edits here either, it was a weekend of spectacular sunsets!

Wind at my back

This is what I wish I was doing today....

California Dreamin'

To start off my photography blog, I'm going to cheat a little and post a few photos from my trip to San Diego last week (Society for Neuroscience meeting); the reason being it's gray and cold outside and I can't drag myself out to snap some photos. It was the first time I'd really used my new Nikon so I feel it's appropriate :)
