Coyote pouncing for a tasty vole

Excited to capture a pouncing coyote going in for a vole.

Spotted this coyote in the evening looking for a snack

What the Fluff?!

I went out in the early spring, it was a cooler day, so I wasn't sure what was going to be out and about. I found this Western Meadowlark and he didn't look impressed with how cold it was, it was also trying to snow. When I stopped my vehicle, I could hear this robotic song and was wondering what was making the noise, that's when I locked in to this little one and he was the one sounding like a robot. I have never heard anything like it before.

Tracks to Nowhere

My dad, brother and I were out for a hike before the sun disappeared, part of the trail was down abandoned tracks. I looked behind us and saw fog was starting to roll in. I grabbed my camera, knelt down on the wet ground and snapped some photos. It just looked so lush and green and I just loved how the fog was rolling in low along the ground. Mother Nature is slowly taking all of this back and I really wanted to get some photos of this beautiful spot.

Sea Lion Island

My brothers and I were boating across to visit some family and we saw so much on the way. We come around this smaller island and we could hear some very strange, loud noises. That's when we saw all of these Sea Lions grouped together on this tiny island. We didn't get close, luckily I had my telephoto lens and the water was pretty smooth, so I was able to get some photos without disturbing these massive animals. It was so cool to see them interact with each other and the noises they would make. When the wind would blow in our direction, you could smell them and that wasn't pleasant, but still a really amazing experience on our boat over.

I was visiting family and had a few moments to myself, so I walked around my brothers house, looking for little things to photograph. I looked at the rose bush and saw some tiny and I mean tiny, jumping spiders walking around. I saw the roses and saw one of the spiders crawling around the petals. That's when I got the vision in my head, wouldn't it be amazing if the spider peaked over the petal and looked right at me? Well, before I could finish that thought, it was as if this adorable little guy had read my mind. I had to act fast, I didn't want to miss the vision. Once I saw that I had it, I was beyond excited! I even thanked the little spider for cooperating with me LOL

I saw some Chukars, so was walking along the road to see if I could get some photos of them as they climbed up the mountainside. It wasn't long, and I heard an awful noise coming from them, I thought something was wrong with one of them. I had stopped to see if I had. a view of them, but couldn't see them from where I was. I waited around and all of a sudden, there was movement coming down the bank, a badger!! I have never seen one before, and was frozen in my spot. I slowly raised my camera and started taking photos, it was so close to where I was standing that I couldn't move, somehow, it didn't notice me. It crossed the road in front of me and went into the tall grass. I was about to turn around and leave, when the grass started moving again and I could see more movement. The badger returned and it wasn't alone, it brought its mom out with it and I was able to spend a little bit of time with this adorable little family. What an experience for my first Badger encounter!

One of my favourite things to photograph with my macro lens, are these Cuckoo wasps. They are such vibrant little things, most only being the size of a grain of rice. It sure is amazing, the bright and vibrant colours there is out there, nature at its finest. I love that my macro lens has opened up a whole new world, things I would have walked past before, but now I am always looking for the little things. We have a lot of fireweed on our property, so I went walking around in hopes of finding some pop of colour, and I was not disappointed. There were quite a few Cuckoo wasps flying around, it was hard to focus on just one, but this one caught my attention and actually stayed still long enough to get some photos.
