Coho churning

Coho salmon migrate upstream to spawn each fall. In some shallow sections of streams, they are exposed, with the water crashing around them. I used a slow shutter speed to emphasize the movement of water over this fish.

Beaver Swimby

Out yesterday morning with camera in hand. A dull, grey, cold day soon turned into white-out conditions, as the snow closed in. Eventually, it let up, and I found a number of Mallards nearby. Out of nowhere came an inquisitive beaver. It gave me a quick look and then was on its way.

Inquisitive Beaver

Sunfish funfish

Pumpkinseeds are brightly coloured sunfish, and they can be very curious about things in their environment - such as my camera!

Spotted salamander stare

Spotted salamanders traverse hundreds of meters to find their breeding pool each spring, crossing the forest floor in complete darkness. The determined look on this salamander makes me understand how they can accomplish this feat!

Damselfly spread

This female ebony jewelwing was laying eggs on submergent vegetation. She kept opening her wings during this process, and I captured this shot with the evening sun reflecting behind her.

Babies!

Winter White

On the reclaimed farm land, protected by the old dikes first built by the 18th century Acadian settlers in the Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia, the Winter white of the light snowfall is high lighted by the bright white of the unusual cloud formation against the very blue sky. It was a breathtaking sight on a very cold day.

Head, feet, and tails

Spotted salamanders breed at night in the early spring. They can form dense aggregations, and sometimes it's hard to tell where one stops and another begins!
