Can You Spot It?

I was out for a drive over the weekend, hoping for Bluebirds, but I think they went somewhere warmer during a recent cold snap we were going through. On the drive home, I saw a Chukar sitting on the side of the road by itself. I pulled over, rolled my window down and started taking some photos. It crossed the road in front of me and started climbing a rocky hillside to get to the cliffs that I frequently see them in. I didn't see or hear any others around, but this was determined to find them, probably got left behind from the rest of the flock and was now playing catch-up.

Big Blue

I went looking for Bluebirds after work and was not disappointed! There was quite a big flock of them all hunting in an open field. I can never get enough of them, no matter how many photos I take of them or how much time I spend watching them, I always want more. They are just such amazing birds.

On the Edge

I was getting home from work and while walking to our home, I noticed quite a few Juncos in the tree. I decided to stop and take some photos of this one that was sitting perfectly on the edge of the tree. I really loved the roughness of the bark and the soft lighting of the background from surrounding trees.

Elk Crossing

Winter brings lots of challenges. This herd of elk navigates the icy waters for survival

Jasper

Having not been back to Jasper since the fire, was not entirely sure what to expect. To drive up to the town site and see the elk herds grazing in the open field in front of towering mountains and a town being rebuilt truly spoke to the resilience of the people and animals that call Jasper home.

The Sentinel of Crescent Falls

This captures the raw, cinematic power of Crescent Falls. The long exposure transforms the heavy rush of the Alberta falls into a smooth, silk-like veil, creating a striking contrast against the dark, jagged texture of the sheer rock face. ​The moody, desaturated tones highlight the spray and mist, emphasizing the vertical scale and the quiet intensity of the canyon. It’s a perspective that moves beyond just a landscape shot—it’s a study of movement versus the immovable stone of the Canadian North.

Eastern Coyote

Walking back to my car when this coyote crossed into my view and the hunt was on to get a clear picture of it without getting into its space. It paid no never mind to the others tracking and taking photos just wanting to catch a nice well fed tree rat
