Great Egret on Pink Ottawa River

August 27, 2018  by gqxue 

I was awake at 4:30AM and could not sleep anymore.  Jeffrey posted a few really nice Green Heron shots taken at Andrew Haydon Park on a WeChat birding group.  Maybe I will have some luck today.  Headed out at 5:30AM, arrived at Andrew Haydon Park when it was still dark. A blue Heron was wading […]

Camping trip to Parc National du Mont-Tremblant

August 11, 2018  by gqxue 

The grandiose group camping tradition has become even more popular this year.  The event on the Civic long weekend has attracted over 90 participants ranging from kids of few years old to seniors in their 80s. The abundance of photography opportunities is a big draw for me.  I couldn’t wait to test the Olympus OM-D […]

Chasing Cherry Blossom Front in Japan

July 14, 2018  by gqxue 

Viewing cherry blossoms in Japan has been on Ellen’s bucket list ever since she visited Tokyo in 2016.  Ellen promptly put together a 2-week trip plan after I said I could join her. To get reasonably priced ticket, I had to fly two days earlier than the planned date.  This worked in my favour as […]

Saving a injured red-throated loon

November 12, 2017  by gqxue 

After shooting a red-breasted merganser, I spotted a bird laying in the middle of pond in the Andrew Haydon Park at the west end of Ottawa. I took a few shots even though I wasn’t able to tell what it was. A lady walking her dog saw me taking photos of the bird and asked […]

Mountains, Land and Sea – Gaspésie and Côte-Nord of Quebec

September 13, 2017  by gqxue 

In August we spent two weeks touring the Gaspésie and the Côte-Nord regions of Quebec, Canada.  We began driving on the south side of the St. Lawrence River because it would be very hard to find reasonably priced accommodation at Tadoussac at the beginning of August if we were to start from north side.   […]

Camping at Murphy’s Point Provincial Park

July 24, 2017  by gqxue 

Every year the Chinese community at my work place organizes a grand camping trip to a location near Ottawa.  Murphy’s Point Provincial Park was chosen for this year.  Unlike Algonquin Park, Murphy’s Point is more of an recreational park.  That being said, there is no shortage of opportunities for nature photography. My main goal in […]

Canada 150th Birthday Celebrations in Ottawa

July 2, 2017  by gqxue 

The down pour in the early morning of July 1st made me hesitant go to downtown Ottawa.  As the rain began to abate, the call from the inside of me became louder and louder. By 9:30AM when I arrived at the Eagleson Park & Ride, there was already a long line of people waiting in […]

Nature Ottawa

June 27, 2017  by gqxue 

What Ottawa has to offer for photographers is much more than a few landmarks.  Having been living in Ottawa since 1999, I aways feel we are blessed that we are surrounded by beautiful nature.  I will update this page regularly to show what I have stumbled upon. 2017 06 25,  Shirleys Bay: I was expecting unusual lighting after a storm.  Headed […]

Flora of Floating Fen

June 18, 2017  by gqxue 

Ottawa Field Naturalists Club (OFNC) organized a trip to a fen near Pakenham to record and photograph the diverse flora of the fascinating floating fen. At the fen, I was amazed by the abundance of showy lady’s slipper, despite its rarity.  Here is my first Showy Lady’s Slipper shot: To quote Eden’s words “we are kids […]
