This is one of my favorite photos of the trip. Its a moment in time. I took this same shot earlier, noticing the hill. It was sunny at the time and the hill only stood out a little. As I was walking back it got rather stormy and overcast. A single opening sent a dot of light moving over the landscape. I first saw it on the trees on the other side of the hill. I waited and sure enough it crossed over to the hill I was looking at earlier and as quick as it was there it continued on and over the next hill.

A shot from another angle of the bridge at a different time of day.

Another shot from my trip to Canada. I had taken this as a preliminary shot, planning to take it again at golden hour. It was at the beginning of the hike and I was trying to time it so that I would be back at the right time. As it turned out, it got really dreary and overcast before I had a chance to take the shot again. I really like how important timing is to doing photography, it has a very zen quality to it. Patience is sometimes what makes the photograph. : )

During the holidays, I got to go up to Canada where Ocala's family have their new cabin. It was the first time I have ever actually been out of the US, though I grazed the border of Canada several times when I lived in Spokane, WA. I didn't have a lot of time to take photos, but I got out for a couple of hours. This was a shot down at the creek behind their place. It was so peaceful and relaxing there. I felt really at home there.
