So I left a couple of days ago for my third cross Canada trip, but the first one where I drove. Compared to being a kid when your parents make all the decisions, I learned a few things about the…

But I’m not impressed by the park itself. There are so many other beautiful parks just a short drive away that I would much rather spend time at.⁠⁠⁠How would you rate Earl Rowe Provincial Park out of 5? ⁠⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠#OntarioParks #EarlRoweProvincialPark #ExploreOntario #OntarioCamping #OntarioOutdoors #WomenWhoExploreOntario #GoodTimesOutside #WomenOutdoors #CampingLife #CampingVibes

It has a sandy beach, a swampy bay for fishing and a few short trails. If you live in the city and are looking for a little nature, then Darlington is a great spot. But there are much better parks, in my opinion.⁠⁠How would you rate Darlington Provincial Park out of 5? ⁠⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠#OntarioParks #DarlingtonProvincialPark #ExploreOntario #OntarioCamping #OntarioOutdoors #WomenWhoExploreOntario #GoodTimesOutside #WomenOutdoors #CampingLife #CampingVibes

No thoughts, just fall vibes 🍂⁠⁠I'm a little shocked that today is the last day of November. It seems like 2023 has flown by. And now that we're in the season of the sticks, I wanted to look back on the beautiful fall colours that dazzled me this season. ⁠⁠One of my weddings this fall took me through Northumberland and Prince Edward Counties right at the peak of their fall leaves. Despite the wet weather, I couldn't help but pull over at every gorgeous view. ⁠⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠#FallColours #DiscoverON #OntarioTravel #OntarioOutdoors #RoadTrippin #OntarioRoadTrip #RoadTripVibes #TakeTheScenicRoute #OutdoorTones #FindMeOutside #FolkNature #CampingVibes #PostcardPlaces

It’s busy because it’s located nearby to the popular Sauble Beach, which is a must-see when you visit. You can check out some of the trails, but otherwise, not much else to do here.⁠⁠How would you rate Sauble Falls Provincial Park out of 5? ⁠⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠#OntarioParks #SaubleFallsProvincialPark #ExploreOntario #OntarioCamping #OntarioOutdoors #WomenWhoExploreOntario #GoodTimesOutside #WomenOutdoors #CampingLife #CampingVibes

5X ZOOM PEOPLE!!!!!!!⁠⁠I rarely talk about gear here, but I've just spent a week with the new Google Pixel 8 Pro and I'm obsessed the the camera. ⁠⁠While I tend to lean towards my mirrorless camera or even a film camera to take photos, I love having a great camera on my phone to take snapshots, videos and BTS of the things I'm working on. ⁠⁠I stopped at Richardson's Lookout in Northumberland County and used the 5x zoom on the Pixel 8 Pro to really hone in on the best views. To really get a feel for how far the camera zooms in, swipe through to zoom out. ⁠⁠I'm blown away.⁠⁠(and no, this is not sponsored at all. omg. could you imagine)⁠⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠#Pixel8 #TeamPixel #DiscoverON #OntarioTravel #OntarioOutdoors #RoadTrippin #OntarioRoadTrip #RoadTripVibes #TakeTheScenicRoute #OutdoorTones #FindMeOutside #FolkNature #PostcardPlaces⁠

I got to be a guest at Raven's Roost Treehouse this past weekend for a friend's birthday. I had to be dragged away kicking and screaming.

At first, I thought the park was overrated, but that was before I made incredible experiences hiking, camping and photographing this park about a dozen times. Algonquin offers incredible opportunities for anyone hoping to enjoy the outdoors no matter the season. From just a taste at its front country campgrounds to full wilderness immersion in its 7,635 square kilometres of forests and lakes that can only be accessed by paddling or hiking. There are 12 separate campgrounds, 21 mapped hiking trails and a canoe route network of over 2,100 km.⁠⁠⁠How would you rate Algonquin Provincial Park out of 5? ⁠⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠#OntarioParks #AlgonquinProvincialPark #ExploreOntario #OntarioCamping #OntarioOutdoors #WomenWhoExploreOntario #GoodTimesOutside #WomenOutdoors #CampingLife #CampingVibes

From the snowy view of Big Bend to the skating trail through the forest to the frozen waterfall, it was a magical adventure. I returned again in the fall and was able to see how beautiful the colours were in the park. The only downside of this park is that it’s hard to get a campsite here since it’s a popular park year-round.⁠⁠#OntarioParks #OntarioTravel #ArrowheadProvincialPark #ExploreOntario #OntarioCamping #OntarioOutdoors #GoodTimesOutside #campinglife #CampingVibes

The photo 🤝 The camera⁠ ⁠ OOOOOOoooooo babb

The photo 🤝 The camera⁠⁠OOOOOOoooooo babbbby. Was I ever excited to get this roll of film back from the lab!! ⁠⁠So a month or so ago, I introduced you to the newest (aka, 10th) camera in my film collection, the Hasselblad 500C. It's old. It's beautiful, it's a work of art. And I am completely obsessed. ⁠⁠Naturally, I was equally itching to shoot a roll of film on it and wanting to wait for the right subject. ⁠⁠What's the big deal with a Hasselblad 500c anyway? Well, these cameras have a ton of history, from the camera to document the moon landing, that iconic image of the Beatles crossing Abbey Road, endless celebrities of the Hollywood golden age, and, of course, Ansel Adams himself used a Hasselblad while capturing the beauty of North America's landscapes.⁠⁠These cameras were like the Rolls-Royce of the camera world. It was so expertly made, yet such a simple design, that many of these cameras still operate perfectly today, over 60 years later. ⁠⁠The process of taking a photo with the Hasselblad is extremely slow. From metering the scene (there's no in-camera light metre), to framing the shot and nailing the focus, this camera isn't about speed, it's about method and patience. And as Ansel Adams once said - "You don't take a photograph, you make it."⁠⁠Are these images perfect? Nope, but they are my first from this historic camera. And for that, I love them. ⁠⁠📷️ Hasselblad 500C⁠🎞️ Kodak Ektar 100⁠.⁠.⁠.⁠.⁠.⁠#madewithkodak #kodakfilm #filmphotography #filmisnotdead #analogphotography #120film #mediumformat #shootitwithfilm #shootfilmmag #filmfridgemag #filmdiscovered #hasselbladculture #ektar100 #TravelShootFilm #FilmFeed #NatureFilmed

This feed is slowly turning into "Olivia take photos of things in the sky" and I'm here for it. ⁠⁠Lemme tell you about Comet A3 ☄️ - this is the brightest comet in the last 13 years (even brighter than Neowise in 2020) It's been visible to the naked eye since Oct 11, and will slowly disappear from view by Oct 20. ⁠⁠It starts to become visible around 45 min after sunset until it "sets" in the western sky a couple of hours later.⁠⁠I went out last night searching for the comet before it disappears (since it won't reappear for another 80,000 years). I basically just pulled over on the side of the road where I knew it had a good, unobstructed view of the western sky and waited. ⁠⁠What was awesome about last night was the incredible Hunter Moon supermoon that rose directly behind us, making it feel like daylight out. The moon made it a little hard to see the comet with my eyes, but I could definitely see through my camera. ⁠⁠Honestly, if you would have told me that I would be seeing and photographing a total solar eclipse, a comet and two auroras this year, I would have laughed in your face. ⁠⁠☄️⁠⁠*⁣⁠*⁣⁠*⁣⁠*⁣⁠*⁣⁠⁣⁠#CometA23 #Astrophotography #OntarioPhotographer #GreyHighlands #GreyCounty #DiscoverOntario #GeorgianBay #SGeorgianBay #ExploreCanada #NightSky #NightSkyPhotography #huntermoon #supermoon

They're back! Literally so STOKED that I got to catch the Aurora Borealis for the second time this year in my neighbourhood. ⁠⁠It wasn't quite as bright as the show in May, but it was like you could reach up and touch them as they danced across the sky. ⁠⁠There I was, editing away on my computer when I got an alert on my phone that there was a 23% chance of seeing the Aurora tonight. So I finished up my gallery and popped my head outside to see if I could see anything. Ta-da! they were there!⁠⁠I ran back into my house, grabbed my camera, lens, tripod and keys and jumped in my car to get a better view down at the lake. ⁠⁠Once my eyes adjusted to the darkness, they were easier to see, literally all around me. ⁠⁠*⁣⁠*⁣⁠*⁣⁠*⁣⁠*⁣⁠⁣⁠#NorthernLights #NorthernLightsPhotography #Aurora #AuroraBorealis #Astrophotography #OntarioPhotographer #GreyHighlands #GreyCounty #DiscoverOntario #GeorgianBay #SGeorgianBay #ExploreCanada #NorthernLightsCanada

September dump 🍂⁠⁠September passed like a blink of an eye, with several back-to-back weddings and sessions all over Ontario, I'm just starting to catch my breath again. ⁠⁠This month, I got to travel to Prince Edward County, Napanee (in which I listened to Avril Lavinge only), Essex County, Port Severn, and Niagara-on-the-Lake among others. I didn't get to do a lot of sightseeing, but I did get out and enjoyed the gorgeous weather we had, soaking up a few beach days and walks along the trails at home. ⁠⁠One late night, on my drive home I looked up to see the stars looking so freaking dazzling. I pulled over and, with only my phone, managed to snag a photo of the Milky Way. ⁠⁠There's a reason the 'ber months are my favourite. 🤎⁠⁠#OntarioTravel #ontariofall #septemberdump #getoutside #getoutdoors #photodump #OntarioPhotographer #destinationontario⁠⁠

Yo Kingsville, what's up? 🎶⁠⁠I had the chance to explore a new-to-me Ontario town this past weekend. I was in the area for a wedding, so I took the opportunity to stay at the Grove Hotel, a boutique hotel in downtown Kingsville. ⁠⁠It was such a great experience, the concierge even kept you updated with all the fun happenings in town, like a car show and a street party, both of which I couldn't attend because of the wedding, but still, what a neat feature. ⁠⁠If you find yourself in Kingsville, or the surrounding Essex Country area, here are just a few things you can do:⁠⁠☕️ Grab coffee at JOE⁠🍳 Devour brunch at Eclectic Love⁠🍻 Enjoy brews at Branded Goose Brewery & Taproom⁠🍷 Do a wine tasting at Pelee Island Winery⁠🛝 Enjoy Lake Erie views from Lakeside Park⁠⛴️ Take a ferry to Pelee Island, Canada's southernmost point⁠🌳 Explore Pelee Point National Park ⁠⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠#OntarioTravel #SmallTowns #ExploreOntario #YQG #WindsorEssex #DiscoverON #DiscoverYQG #OntSouthwest #RoadTripVibes #OffTheBeatenPath #EscapeToTheCountry #WeekendTrips

What I love most about creating these seasonal bucket lists is not to check off every single one, but to do my best and enjoy all the little things. ⁠⁠Here are a few of the summer bucket list items I checked off in August:⁠⁠✅️ Go to a really big antique market⁠✅️ Go for a bike ride on a rail trail and stop for ice cream⁠✅️ Camping with friends!⁠✅️ Buy a bouquet of flowers from a roadside vendor⁠✅️ Go to the Ex⁠⁠Also, quick reminder that summer ends Sept 21.
