Clear Warning of Scenery Ahead

Captured right from Highway 16 during a roadside stop. It’s hard not to feel small when you're surrounded by massive glacial peaks and an endless sky stretching out across the horizon.

Heron On A Rock

A Great Blue Heron: When not disturbed these birds can be stationary for long periods. This one stayed on the rock for well over one hour, and was still there when I left.

Riding Thermals

Suspended beneath a blue-and-white sail structure of a paragliding wing, a pilot banks into a sharp, graceful turn against the wide-open sky, riding invisible currents of rising warm air. This moment captures the pure, silent thrill of flight where human engineering meets atmospheric energy, gliding over the BC mountains of Mount Archibald and the broader Cheam Range.

Into the golden light!

Arriving at Frank Lake, Alberta, just before dawn, I spent two to three hours sitting in the shoreline mud, immersed in the bustling morning activity of the migratory shorebirds. This Stilt Sandpiper stepped into the frame shortly after sunrise, brilliantly backlit by the morning’s first light. A low, eye-level perspective dissolved the shallow marsh into shimmering golden bokeh, rim lighting its elegant mid stride silhouette and illuminating clouds of tiny midges, making every cold, muddy minute worthwhile.

Peek-a-boo

This moose was looking out towards highway 60 in Algonquin Provincial Park, seemingly watching all the tourist traffic travelling up and down the road.

Avocet in the Morning Light

During my first visit to Frank Lake, I wanted to capture not only the energy of its waterfowl, but also the quiet moments that define this vital wetland. After photographing the backlit action, I focused on this solitary American Avocet wading through a perfectly still patch of shallow water. Staying low at the water’s edge, I waited for the ripples to completely subside. The gentle morning light highlighted its distinctive upturned bill and warm cinnamon breeding plumage. The dark background created striking subject isolation, drawing attention to the avocet and its near-perfect reflection.

Morning glitters at Frank Lake!

This photograph captures my very first visit to the renowned Important Bird Area (IBA) at Frank Lake. Seeking a compelling, intimate perspective, I spent the early morning sitting directly in the shoreline mud. This low viewpoint allowed me to position my lens at eye level with the waterfowl, creating a powerful sense of immersion in their world. As the sun cleared the horizon, it cast a dramatic backlight across the shallow waters. I waited for the perfect moment of movement to achieve strong subject separation. The intense morning light transformed the ripples in the shallow water into brilliant, golden bokeh in the foreground, beautifully framing the running Canada Goose while leaving the resident gulls softly blurred in the background.
