Looking Up

An American badger pauses from his burrowing to check out his surroundings in Central Saskatchewan

Black capped chickadee

Using a 35mm f/1.4 lens, think about it, I am below the feeder using a tripod with the focal set at 60mm in manual mode, only very few pictures turned out satisfyingly well.

Otter on the Horizon

Here comes the otter! It was an early and frigid October morning in Ottawa's Petrie Island when this otter's curiosity got the better of it and came swimming in my direction. Every few strokes it would dive under to try for some food, eventually becoming successful with a catch. But in this captured moment, the only thing it had its sights set on was me on the bank of the river.

Peek-a-Boo Times Two

Not only was I working with two adorable otter models, but also the beauty of morning light. No doubt that sessions like these are challenging when the subjects tend to be darker and the light from a cloudless sky is more intense. Nonetheless, it has been a beautiful couple of mornings with these two silly and curious siblings at Ottawa's Petrie Island. This photo session happened during two October morning sessions and, yes, I was there before the sun came up. It was so cold that frost had already formed on the vegetation along the riverbank, signalling winter’s not too far away.

Otterly Nosy

One early October morning, just as the sun was breaking, one of two otters at Ottawa's Petrie Island came to check out a couple of photographers along the bank. The sun was in a unique spot where it created this beautiful mixture of fall colours mixed with cooler tones like lavender and a dusty blue, and making the water look almost like silk. It swam back and forth, back and forth, and when it was satisfied it started diving for food. I had a good few hours with the pair before I had to leave. I hope to see them again soon. If you’re patient, do your homework and are willing to wake up before the sun or stick around and try your luck around golden hour, you may be lucky enough to spot river otters along the Ottawa River. You can also find them in streams and lakes, as well as inland wetlands, creeks and swampy areas.

Eagle Sunrise over the Nechako River

As the sun breaches the tree line, it paints the eagle in golden light setting its razor-sharp eyes aglow. The opposite shore's trees have lost their leaves, and the exposed branches are purple in this light, weaving a dense violet web as the back drop.

Garden party

An invitation to look closer, a close-up portrait of an Anna's hummingbird in action sipping blooms on an autumn day. This year-round hardy little resident of Vancouver Island stays over winter, enjoying the ever-blooming garden flowers provided by the area's temperate climate. This little one packs personality as it goes about hovering in a colourful garden party of nectar.

The Raven

I love the texture and intricacy of the Raven's feathers. This raven was one of a pair guarding the path in Algonquin.

Algonquin Serenity

Algonquin is one of my favourite places to visit. This scene was so calm and serene in the cool morning light.

Little grumpy this morning

Overnight rain and insects probably did not improve the morning outlook. Taken at Sleeping Giant early June 2026

There be Dragons

So may Dragon Flies around the Bog Trail.

Beautiful day coming back from South kabeyun Trail, stopped at shore for a rest.

Sand Bath

Coming down the Kabeyun Trail and Grouse was sanding itself on Tee Harbour off Trail. Taken June 2026.

Sea Lion in Sleeping Giant Provincial Park

Must be one of the most photographed places at Sleeping Giant but it is still worth the time.

Cedar Wax Wing in Motion

Just started to line up exposure and I must have been to close and it took flight.
