Creepy works! It's October after all 😉
Thank you so much, John 😊 Thanks for the repost too.
I'm trying to better emphasize storytelling in my photos, so for #52frames_time, I photographed my Mom looking through an old photo album. Edited to emphasize warm, late afternoon (literally and metaphorically) light and time passing, yet held — in hands, in photographs, in light.

I had that thought too 😊 I like your wider crop - it provides more story I think.

Mist rising on a lake, with mountains in the background, upturned canoes in the foreground, and a small fishing boat moored to a dock in the mid-ground Mountains, trees, clouds, and a blue sky reflected in calm water Highway leading down a hill with an aqua blue glacial lake and mountain peaks in the background A small waterfall flowing into an aqua blue pool of water surrounded by multi-coloured rock walls with green vegetation in the foreground
Some lucky wildlife encounters in Elk Island National Park. We saw two bison not far from the trail; the second we mistook for a rock! Later, a bull elk announced his presence with a bugle call before emerging in a clearing right next to our path!

This week's challenge was #52frames_onelightsource, and I'm away on holidays, so it was tougher to control light. Fortunately, the place we're staying has a fire pit - firelight at night for single source and my partner as my subject 😊

Gorgeous photo of one of the places I still need to visit! Glad you're home safe 😊

I struggled with this week's theme, #52frames_outofplace, but have a few half-decent contenders.

I love these! Not sure if the first or third is my favourite

A couple walks on the boardwalk in front of the Perimeter Institute, with the off-camera sunset reflected in the building's windows. The reflections found inside some of my Mother's gilt Irish coffee cups. A reflected silhouette of a Great Blue Heron dabbling in the water.
Spent several days this week in Quebec City with my Mom and sister looking for interesting #reflections
