Beaver Pond Forest Photography

These Photographs were taken last November at the Beaver Pond Forest in Kanata, Ontario.

The rich texture and beautiful colours found in each one of these trees are really breath taking.  We have to stick together and try to stop developers from destroying this beautiful forest, which is a place for children and adults whether they want to exercise, meditate, go for a pleasant walk or learn about all the richness of this forest.

I am donating the money from the sales of these photographs to the association, which is doing the fundraising event to try to save this jewel.
