Momma's Tired

I was going to check the mail on my lunch break, and got side tracked when I came across the momma bear. She was snoozing away in a tree, I didn't see her cubs, but I assume they were up above her in the tree. She was so tired and also looked very comfortable on the branch. I took a few photos and continued on my way so she could enjoy her nap and alone time. Clinton BC

Side Eye

I have watched this buck for the last couple of years and this year I saw him in full velvet. His antlers are so different, I really wanted to be able to photograph him once his antlers were done growing. I wasn't sure if it was going to happen, I haven't seen him in a while, but there he was, while I was on my way home on my lunch break! I pulled over and was able to spend a few minutes with him as he grazed in the field and then bedded down for a rest. Clinton BC

Through the Glass

I was parked along the road, taking photos of a buck, when something else caught my eye. I looked through my windshield with my camera and saw this scene that I just had to take a photo of. I liked the way it looked, with the fence line doubled and the rainbow colours around the trees. The glass gave it such a neat effect while looking through my lens. Clinton BC

Weekend Commute

A pair paddles on Percy Lake.

Island Sun

It's a cool October morning and two egrets stand motionless and quietly, basking in the warm waking sunlight in Ottawa's Petrie Island. The pair was resting between flights and hunting, choosing the spot to soak up the sun and preen their angel-white feathers. The two were among a flock of egrets in the area that were spread throughout the conservation area. Petrie Island, as it's known, is actually a group of islands in the Ottawa's east end that formed about 10,000 to 12,000 years ago from post-glacial clay, sand and silt deposits. Today, the area is a rare, ecologically vital wetland for a variety of wildlife that include egrets.

Autumn Glow

Here is another photo I took of an American Wigeon gliding through the reflection of the gold Autumn leaves. I was lucky to catch some of the leaves still on the trees. I sat near the edge of the pond, back in the trees camouflaged by the overhanging branches for a few hours before I seen this duck glide by me.

Checking the Bloom

I was happy to be at the right place at the right time to photograph this Hummingbird Clearwing feeding on Vipers Bugloss plant.

The Odonata at Murphys Point Provincial Park were a really diverse group that displayed all shapes and sizes and colours. Taken in July 2026.

Feeding time

Taken at Murphy's Point Provincial Park in the early morning. It was easy to locate the bird by the very loud echo of him drilling in a near silent park.
