Under the arch

Welcome to Saskatchewan! Land of the living skies! In the early spring time the winter milkyway is still visible and offers a rare chance to photograph its arch over the native prairies in Saskatchewan. During this time of year, auroras are common and can actually hinder milkyway photography. Thankfully they stayed low enough on the horizon to capture the faint milkyway and their emerald glow to the north.

Whispers in the prairies

Sometimes you just have to sit back and watch the sky. Southern Saskatchewan has some of Canadas DARKEST skies. The Nature Conservancy of Canada has a large parcel of native prairie “Old Man on His Back” that is ideal for gazing into the celestial wonder above.

Banded bandit

A banded garden spider (Argiope trifasciata) rests on its web during the late summer. These docile spiders are visually stunning! As with most orb weaver species.

Moth watching

I regularly set up UV lights in my yard to attract moths and document different species. I was lucky enough to get a Polyphemus moth this year! One of the largest moths in North America.

Daybreak

An Atlantic Puffin spreads its wings as the sun rises over the ocean.

The Hunter Returns

A Red Fox makes her way back to the den after a successful hunt.

Blowing bubbles

A spittle bug makes itself a cozy place to rest by blowing a protective layer of bubbles.

Against the Storm

A male Cardinal sits on a fallen pine branch during a snow storm in Southern Ontario.

Misty morning bugles

A wild bull elk bugles in the early morning light. Central Saskatchewan

Wings of Winter

A Snowy Owl lands on the ice with a freshly caught long-tailed duck. These owls rely on the large waterfowl population during their winters in Southern Ontario, but it also makes the owls more susceptible to Avian Influenza. Taken along the shores of Lake Ontario.

Star filled nights and UV lights

A late season milkyway rises during the peak of the Perseids meteor shower. Foreground was lit by a UV light to bring out the unique colours in the vegetation and lichens.
