#snowmageddan2025 phase two, complete.
Jim Babbage:
Just some smartphone grabs of #snowmageddan2025. I’m sure I will have to do this at least one more time. Hoping to get out with my real camera at some point, even if it’s just in thebackyard. Once my heart rate drops back down. #winterinthecity #meandmyp
Jim Babbage:
Sure, it looks like a smile, but it’s more of a grimace, as I realize I’ll be shoveling a lot of snow a couple more times today. #winterwonderland #winterinthecity #snowmageddan2025 #meandmyphablet #enoughalready #tooOldForThis
Jim Babbage:
Meet Raven and Peanut. These two feral bonded girls are in need of someone to care for them, as we are moving out of the area. Currently, they call our backyard home near Brimley and Eglinton. They are harmless and shy of people but they are food-motivate

Managed a few captures of Mr C. Before he realized what I was doing. Then he hid at the back of the bushes. #northercardinal #meandmyOM1 #om150600mm #natureinthecity #mybackyard @omsystem.cameras
Jim Babbage:
Well, it looks like Mother Nature has granted me at least one more winter wonderland in our backyard. Next winter, the view will definitely be a different one. #winterwonderland #marshmallowWorld #winterinthecity #meandmyOM1 #natureinthecity
Jim Babbage:
Another trip to Campbellford today to drop stuff in temp storage. And we visited by the #easternCitadel (trying it on) to check on progress. The quartz countertops - wow! And the fireplace is sick/phat/gnarly/cool. Absolutely love how it turned out. @have
Jim Babbage:
A bittersweet reality check hit home today. After 32 years, we’re saying goodbye to our first home. The official sign on the lawn makes it more indelible - and emotional- than I thought it would. #movingonup #houseforsale
Jim Babbage:
It’s getting really real, now. Moved a bunch of things from home to temp storage in Campbellford today. One of at least a couple more trips with fragile or seasonal (or both) stuff. Thanks @getaldonow for the use of the moving van! #movinonup
Jim Babbage:
Despite my initial impressions of the photos, several of them from my visit to #redfarmlane in Douro turned out better than expected! The thin blanket of snow really helped to bounce some light from below into the animals. The new Blur tool in @lightroom

What a difference two weeks can make! We were informed on Friday that our build is two MONTHS ahead of schedule! #newhome #countryRetreat #newbuild #mcdonaldhomesbrighton @dianascottrealestate @havenonthetrent #thenextadventure

Heading home from a week of enablement at the @adobe Lehi mothership. Here are my favourite captures. #adobelife #meandmyom5 #worklife #mountains #sunset #sunrise #lehi

Had a great day visiting with this little charmer! #happygrampa

Well that’s a wrap on Christmas Town for 2024. Dismantled and now stowed in new bins that will be easier to stack. The next time these houses see daylight, it will be in entirely new location, as we will have moved into our new home in the spring of this

Sunday sunrise at Rouge Beach. It was chilly and windy, but worth getting up for. The built-in live grad filter of my @omsystem.cameras OM1 MarkII came in handy, as did the flannel-lined jeans I got for Christmas. #landscapephotography #sunrise #meandmyo
Jim Babbage:
Short walk today at East Point Park. It was very windy and chilly. Starting to feel like winter. The sun was in and out of the clouds. I decided to shoot some landscape compositions with my 150-600mm lens to change things up. This scene kept changing beca
Jim Babbage:
First photos of the New Year are off to a good start. Really love this Zuiko 150-600m lens. #mybackyard #meandmyom1 @omsystem.cameras #natureinthecity #northerncardinal #birdsofinstagram #naturephotography #birdphotography
Jim Babbage:
My top nine for 2024. I find it interesting that three of these images were not of my making, but I also love it, because it shows that people are connecting with the personal story behind the image, and not just liking the image for the sake of the image
Jim Babbage:
On the final day of 2024 I took a stroll through parts of Morningside Park, surprised to see frozen sections in the creek, considering all the rain and mild temperatures we’ve had lately. It felt good to get out on this New Year’s Eve, despite the heavy o
Jim Babbage:
Mr. And Mrs. C, out for a late afternoon stroll. A bit grainy, but I’ll take grain over motion blur, TYVM. I shot these using continuous high speed capture and I think I’ll have a cool little stop motion of Mr. C, when I have the time to process it. #mean

Before and after edit from this recent backyard capture. Small changes-especially when using masks - can make a big difference. Swipe through to see the editing video. #postprocessing #cardinal #meandmyom1 #nature #natureinthecity @lightroom

Wishing my friends and family, near and far, a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy (and sane) New Year.
