Photo Of The Week
Description: Was an early October day at the Bruce Peninsula National Park... I was the only person in sight as I arrived at the Grotto... A most popular spot amongst tourists in around the world. With a brief glance in the water I noticed a single paddle boarder doing her thing ... as she paddled closer I yelled hi and we got to talking and became fast friends... we also decided to do this impromptu photoshoot This was a dream for both of us that day... I always wanted to photograph a paddle boarder at Cyprus Lake but never one until this day. Elated we both started posing and positioning our moves for some much epic photos of that day. thanks to my girl who hiked with her board the 45 mins into the Grotto to put in the water.
Location: Tobermory, Ontario
