Rime Ice in the Winter Fog

Rime ice coats a solitary tree during a foggy winter morning in Alberta. Formed when supercooled fog freezes on contact, rime ice reshapes familiar landscapes into fleeting winter sculptures—quiet, fragile, and shaped entirely by weather.

Sometimes frivolous and funny, occasionally more serious. The person leaving these messages on the beach touches on all aspects of the human condition. I hope to meet this person someday.

Curious Otter

Went for a wildlife drive to a lake nearby and spotted a hole in the ice. Stuck around long enough to spot a curious otter pop through the hole. It’s my first otter photo!

Fire Coyote

A coyote glows in the evening sun. I can watch coyotes hunt all day, especially when there's a pack or a mating pair. In this location, they have quite a large salt marsh to search so it's difficult to know where they'll pop up next. However, if you spend enough time watching them, as I have, you learn that there is a pattern to their search, even down to the best times to see them in certain locations. On this day, I arrived before sunrise and didn't see a single one until about 3pm when, in the distance, I could see four of them grouping together to begin their sunset hunt. they gradually got closer as the sun went down and I was able to capture this shot.

Juvenile

My brother asked me if I wanted to tag along to a job site on Hornby Island, and there was zero hesitation from me. I haven't been to the island by ferry before, so I was very excited to go there. When we left, it was foggy, but we thought for sure, it would lift in a couple hours. He was busy working and said he was going to be a while, so I walked along the beach and found some wildlife to photograph. I walked back to the job site, when one of the other workers said I should walk the other way along the beach and then find the trail to the other side of the bay. I walked along and found the trail, then it went along a cliffside looking down to the ocean. It was so beautiful and lots of eagles were around, which was another bonus, only downside, was the fog and how thick it would get, but it would also clear in a matter of seconds, giving a window of a few minutes before it blew back in.

Glowing

We had gotten to the beach at the perfect time. The fog was lifting a bit and the sun was starting to set, in the golden stage. It was so beautiful as the rays were shining through the trees with the fog.

Coming in Hot

As I was standing in an opening, watching the birds along the shore, I was all of a sudden joined by this juvenile bald eagle. I saw it flying around and pointed my camera towards it, trying to follow it as it was flying. What I didn't expect, was for it to land on a log not far from where I was standing. I was standing still enough, so it must not have seen me, or it didn't see me as a threat. Either way, I was incredibly grateful that this eagle chose to land so close to me.
