In My Backyard
We are lucky enough live about an hour from the Rocky Mountains in Canada.
And embarrassingly, we don’t get out there enough.
But a couple of weekends ago the hubs and I were able to get out and meet up with some friends from the Folk Fest.
I really wanted to take some pictures with my Nikon, but wouldn’t you know it, my battery died.
So I pulled out my iPhone and shot these with the Hipstamatic App
(and in all honesty, I adore taking photos with my iPhone in case you haven’t noticed!)
I entered this shot in Project Alicia’s Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge for Brown… |
An uprooted tree branch. I love this shot I have to say!
How beautiful are these mountains! Snow-capped and magical!
And it was COLD. Cold cold cold. This is a frozen lakeshore.
A very big reminder that winter is coming…soon.
Our majestic Rockies!
Frozen Sand. So cool.
Thank you so much for stopping in! I’m really happy to have you here.

My3Boybarians, Deb Duty Photography, simple as that,
I use my I phone more for pictures, its funny. All the pictures you took are beautiful.
So beautiful!!! Loved the frozen sand and the mountains. Your iphone takes some pretty good pics.
Jo-Anna, I’m trying to think of what part of Alberta you live in?? I live in Rocky Mountain House, and enjoy the beautiful mountain views as well, great shots!
Gorgeous pics! I’ve only been as far as Banff and that’s when I was 10. I really need to head west again sometime – it’s so beautiful 🙂
WOW!!! THose shots are gorgeous!!!
Ohh WOW! LOVE THESE! I’m an iphone junkie too – LOL! Do you mind me asking what lens you used in Hipstamatic for the first shot – I absolutely love the feel!
Also, I had to smile at the words above your comment box. LOVE the no-reply blogger link. I get so many of those. Great idea! 🙂 Happy Tues!!
great pictures. makes me want to move back to radium hot springs. great site too….
even “frozen” sand is beautiful. love the pics :).
These are all awesome! I have been using my iphone camera more and more too – love the frame around your shots – gives it an old style feel!
You are lucky to live so close. Your photos are beautiful! I love the pretty blues and greens in the second and third.
Amazing pics! Oh how I miss those mountains, love coming to your blog for great alberta photos ; )
Great photos, I love the style!
Thanks for taking part in the Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge 🙂
You are not helping. I am right in the middle of upgrading my phone and I can’t decide between the Iphone or the Android. Your pictures are incredible.
Really love that first one for brown! I can not believe it was taken with an iphone. Wow! Can’t wait to see what you capture for white!
