Sleepy and Wet

I went for a drive in the rain with camera in tow when I noticed a strange looking branch in the rain. I stopped and backed up to find a very wet but sleepy Barred owl.

Silhouettes rosées / Pink silhouettes

La scène se dépouille de tout superflu, Il ne reste qu’un espace vaste où le monde semble suspendu. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ The evening pink stretches over the reservoir, he reveals two silhouettes in perfect harmony.

There remains only a vast space where the world seems suspended.

Algonquin Island

This seems to be a pattern with me; I was on my way to a sunrise photo session somewhere when I saw something else and changed my plan. This was in Algonquin Park and I was on my way to a hike to a viewpoint when I saw this mist on the lake and decided to make my images here. I eventually put a neutral density filter on the lens to get some long exposures; I might post one next week. But I decided I liked this one with the rising sun the best. This is a high dynamic range (HDR) image, where I bracketed the exposure (dark, medium, bright) and combined them later with Lightroom.

Moose in autumn colours.

A bull moose in his prime is an iconic sight. I drove to Moose country in Northern Ontario during autumn eason to hopefully get a photo. After several days of searching for a sighting, I had no luck. Tired and cold, I decided to try again the following year. Little did I know my luck was about to change. The last evening of my trip, I had sighting of this majestic bull moose with a perfect backdrop of fall colors. I guess nature has it's own way of rewarding those who try hard. This was a perfect reward.

Golden Hour Fisher – American White Pelican on the Bow River

A magnificent American White Pelican glides through the golden light of a spring evening on the Bow River in Calgary, Alberta. During breeding season, this majestic bird displays its striking crest and vibrant yellow-pink bill while successfully catching a fish. The warm sunlight creates a dreamy bokeh effect across the water, highlighting the bird’s elegant form and the serene beauty of Alberta’s waterways. As a migratory species that returns to our prairies each spring, this moment captures the quiet wonder of Canadian wildlife right in the heart of Calgary.

Otterly Surprised

On a calm winters day I was sitting on the ice in a small cove photographing a friendly harp seal that was sun bathing when the sound of crackling ice caught my attention but disappeared as my eye stayed settled in my viewfinder not wanting to break attention on my subject. Then to my surprise this curious river otter popped up through the ice and slush next to me for just mere seconds. Barely able to keep my composer I managed a couple of shots before it slipped beneath the ice pans again giving me one of my favorite moments of winter 2026.

Tears on the Ice

The tears of this whitecoat (harp seal pup) drip from its eyes down its fur coat as it waits for its mother to return to nurse it again. Scientifically the tears are merely protective mucus secreted by their lachrymal glands, however, lying here alone on the pack ice it sure feels like there may be some emotion behind those droplets.

Fog, Bog and Caribou

As bright sunlight is muted by theapproaching coastal fog on the southern Avalon in Newfoundland this small tight herd stays instictively vigilant relying on there collective keen sense of smell and the visual advantage of vast wide open bogs, moss and the treeless sub-artic terrain to identify any potential threats.

Born on the Ice

A harp seal pup, likely just one to two weeks old, rested on the ice. Not far away lay the partially snow-covered remains of an adult seal. Over the course of three days, the pup remained in roughly the same spot, and no mother returned to nurse it. I couldn’t help but wonder if the nearby carcass was that of its mother and now facing a tragic and certain fate? Or was this simply the abrupt reality of natural weaning and its mother had left, the pup now on the brink of its solitary journey to the sea left to learn to hunt and feed itself? Either way, the beauty of the environment and the moment served as a powerful reminder of the inevitable challenges and risks of being “Born of the Ice.”

Otterly Trapped

I was sitting at a picnic table at the end of a dock taking photos of some nearby ducks when I heard snorting and shuffling. I turned around to see two river otters exploring at the entry to the dock I was on. I started to take some photos, but then they began working their way towards me. I don't think they realized at that time I was there, and with no place to go but to jump into the water, I had no choice but to make my presence known as I was "otterly trapped" at the end of the dock! LOL So, I cleared my throat to alert them, capturing their surprised little faces in this shot.

Survival at a Cost

In the quiet wilderness of British Columbia, a coyote grips tightly to its hard-earned meal—an unfiltered moment of survival unfolding in real time. There is no malice here, only instinct. No cruelty, only the ancient rhythm of predator and prey that sustains the balance of the wild. Photographed low to the ground, this intimate perspective places us eye-to-eye with a creature often misunderstood. The intensity in its gaze tells a story of resilience, adaptability, and the relentless pursuit of life in a landscape that demands it. Moments like this are rarely witnessed, and even more rarely documented with such proximity. It is a reminder that beyond the edges of our cities, nature operates by its own rules—raw, honest, and essential.

Baltimore Oriole

While trying to be in the right position to get a clear shot of this oriole hopping around this flowering tree, I managed to capture him grabbing a little bee for a snack.

Black and White Warbler

Black-throated Blue Wabler

While waiting by a marshy shore waiting to see if anything would run by, I heard a song I've never heard. I checked an app and this guy popped up. I followed the song and found this guy hoping around some branches.
