Photographers, artists and nature-lovers are invited to join County Photographer Phil Norton for walks with cameras this fall. If you have good intentions to get outside for regular exercise and want to learn how to capture the autumn beauty, now is your chance to shoot with a pro. Led by the passion to take great pictures, you will reconnect with nature and discover the rich heritage of Prince Edward County. Sign up for any or all of the walks: phil@philnorton.com or (613) 476-1167 or phillipnorton@sympatico.ca.
Norton has been seeing life through a lens for 40 years and working professionally as a writer and photojournalist. Besides freelancing for Harrowsmith and Canadian Geographic Magazines on environmental and outdoor adventure topics, he was the editor of a bilingual weekly newspaper, The Huntingdon Gleaner in Quebec, and ran the stock photo department for The Montreal Gazette. Later, he shared his experience in high schools leading students on rural community photo shoots for publication.
Since moving to Prince Edward County in 2007, he has explored the region by bicycle, kayak and on foot and has captured its many moods in photos which appear in local publications, websites and on his postcards.

From September 19 – October 13, 2012, during the peak of autumn color, with cool air and few bugs, Norton will lead Wednesday evening and Saturday morning walks averaging 2 hours each. The cost is $10 per outing (children 5 - 14 accompanied by an adult half-price) and the group size will be limited. The format is informal and interactive.
Destinations for this first outings include several Quinte Conservation Areas—Macaulay Mountain’s old growth forest and streams, Beaver Meadow’s marsh and maple woodland, and the cliffs, butterflies and pebble beach at Little Bluff—Sandbanks Park’s lakeshore and dunes, an apple orchard in Waupoos, Glenwood Cemetery by special invitation on Veteran’s Day with scenic lanes, heritage stones and a hilltop bagpiper, and bird banding beside the Point Traverse lighthouse. See more details at the bottom of this post.
