Welcome to Amherst Island
Amherst Island is located in Lake Ontario west of Kingston, Ontario, Canada. The island is part of Loyalist Township in Lennox and Addington County. Amherst Island is located about 3 kilometres (2 mi) offshore from the rest of Loyalist Township and access to the island is by way of the Frontenac II ferry from Millhaven.
The main population centre on the island is the village of Stella, which is the where the ferry lands on the island side. Harrowsmith Country Life declared the island’s local hamlet, Stella, as one of the “prettiest towns in Canada”.
This page is offered and maintained by the Amherst Island Community Alliance.

Honourable mentions to: dreaming up what it will look like and seeing photos of the day weeks later.
It was honestly such a pleasure working with S+C to bring their floral vision to life this September! There is nothing more classic than roses and baby’s breath, and this couple pulled them off beautifully.
Congratulations!
The happy couple: readwithsama connahmcleod

A Rough-legged Buzzard. These birds migrate south in the winter from the Arctic and subarctic regions to cooler climates to breed.
This was my first time trying out the 1.4x extender on the 100-400mm lens in the field. I really had a hard time maintaining sharp subjects. I suspect my shutter speeds were too low, even when they reached 1/1250, at F/11. Next time I will try without the extender and just crop the images.
