Gros Morn Sunset

Lobster Cove head lighthouse was the perfect place to watch the colourful sky just before sunset.

The Watcher

In Squamish, British Columbia, bald eagles gather in large numbers every winter, settling into the treetops above streaming rivers. They keep watch as the annual salmon run winds down - and with it comes such an abundance of fish that many of their bodies lay untouched along the shores. From their perches, they are a moody but poignant reminder of how tightly life and death intertwine in these coastal ecosystems.

Cooks Brook

Cooks Brook I travelled to Newfoundland 2 years ago but was there a couple weeks later. I was amazed at the beautiful colours of the area this trip. Travelling my friend and I took ages to go from destination to destination. Everything was just so lovely- we had to stop.

Approach Trail

It was a hiking day up mountains. The Falls to the right of this bridge was the destination. I could not help admire the bridge surrounded by peak Fall colours.

Intertidal

Sometimes you find yourself in a place that’s so alive and expansive that no words or photos come close to capturing it. The rugged coast of Vancouver Island is one of those places. Most of the time, you can stand in one spot and confidently say “this is land” or “this is water.” But not here. Here, everything is liminal — existing between water and land, at the mercy and direction of the tides. Here, there’s no clear boundary between the mountains and the sea. Instead, everyone seems to have one foot in the forest and the other on the shore. There’s a timelessness and transcendence to this “in between” place, where life ebbs and flows with tides and storms. You quickly realize that “forest time” and “ocean time” are not the same as “human time.” It’s a wet climate, where everything is on its way to decay — but it’s also a place of renewal. Tracks left, tracks swept away. In this world-between-worlds, where the boundaries between land and water blur into each other, the boundaries between the wild world and the human one break down, too.

Berry Hill

It was a hiking day to lookouts. The peak Falls colours a feast for the eyes as far as you could seem. It was well worth the hike up.

Perfect Retreat

This log cabin was a delight. It begged to be photographed in the snow. It was the perfect retreat for the lucky owner. I wish we could have met

Wrong side of the tracks

With more of us living in urban areas than ever before, humans and wildlife are increasingly sharing space in cities and suburbs around the world. This family of river otters living in the Vancouver area are no exception. I hope this image shows the juxtaposition between their wild world and our human one, and the way nature continues to adapt in spite of us.

Of Two Worlds

From rivers to oceans, water to land, river otters navigate the space between. Their lives are shaped by both realms - they exist along shorelines, among waves, between crevices and are perfectly at home with the current's push and pull. This moment reminded me that they live on the edge, shifting seamlessly between land and water.

Secured

Secured I noticed the locks on the railing the night before while scouting places for the next morning’s sunrise. Having the sky explode in colour behind lover’s locks the next morning at the lookout secured Corner Brook’s place in my heart.

Overlooked

It can be easy to overlook more "familiar" subjects, but as photographers we have an opportunity to document interesting behaviours, showcase our subjects' unique personalities unique personalities, and find the extraordinary in the ordinary. When this Canada goose peered out at me between late-summer foliage in Algonquin Park, it was a great reminder not to discount the "regulars" - they can be magical subjects, too.

Sunrise Corner Brook

On the bluff overlooking Corner Brook Newfoundland the painted sky appeared just before sun rose and about an hour before the steam whistle of the mill announced the beginning of shift.

Stop

Stop the Car! The landscape travelling in Northern BC was so very bleak until the sun popped out. We had to stop to capture the light was it flooded across a valley of snow.

Paradox

Old verses New. What a paradox unfolded against this dramatic sky. This century old hip barn next to the looming Wind turbines placed here around 2015. I had planned to document this areas barns when I retired but I was too late to do it before these turbines popped up. I will need to wait another 15 years before the wind turbines are decommissioned. I hope the hip barns survive that long.

Standing History

Rural Canada is so very full of fading history. Hip barns are becoming harder and harder to find. I had to stop to photograph this beauty against the dramatic sky. It is so important to document these last vestiges of our rural history.

Tracks

Tracks I travelled all the way to the Yukon searching for Canadian Lynx. I have spent the last decade tracking and hoping to see one in northern Ontario with no luck. My friends and I came across this pristine set of lynx tracks on the road ahead of us. It would prove to be an excellent trip.

Golden Glow

Last year I marked on my calendar to head to Lincoln Ontario to photograph a barn at peak colour. On the way I had to stop to photograph this golden wood pile.
