Eastern Cicada Killer Wasp

I was walking, it was hot, then I spotted a big insect flying. At first I thought it was a hummingbird moth, but it was larger, and not as fast. I managed to take a few pictures and was surprised to see a wasp like insect. But it was quite large, not a “normal wasp”. I had no idea what it could be. I searched on the internet for large wasps in Ontario and came up with the Cicada Killer Wasp. That was it! What an interesting wasp!

Grackle Family

Every spring, I go on a fishing trip with my brother. Last year, I saw this trunk and thought it would be a wonderful place for a bird's nest. This spring, we returned at this spot to find out that a common grackle had made it it's home. Amazing!

Mamma and the Kiddo

This mum and cub were patiently waiting along the shoreline of Churchill, Manitoba, for the sea ice to form.

Hummy's Tongue

This tiny hummingbird was hanging out near a flower bush. I managed to catch it with it tongue out. I love this bird!

Foxes

These beautiful red foxes were hanging outside my residence in Churchill, and I would see them almost every day during my month-long stay.

The Family

I was on a working trip to New-Brunswick and happened to stumble on a pied-billed grebe family. So I got up very early the next morning to photograph the father feeding it's offsprings.

Pine Marten 2

I had the chance to hang out with this very friendly and curious one of two marten. The heavy snowfall had started and it came out of it's den to play with it's buddy. It was amazing.

Forest Giant

This beautiful fella seemed to have been rejected by the herd and was calmly minding his own business, eating shrubs in the forest.

Shadow

This was taken on a very foggy winter afternoon. This snowy had landed real close to my car. I could barely see it. It was like a shadow. I got out, laid down and took this wonderful image of it.

Boreal Brute

The amazing thing about a large moose, adults often weighing over 1000 lbs, is its ability to camouflage and outright disappear into the boreal forest. The bull was no exception disappearing within seconds, with the exception of the sound of branches cracking as it bulldozed its way through the trees.

Feed Me!

A baby Starling impatiently waits to be fed by one of its busy yet attentive parents, having five young beaks to feed.

Mirrored

I had the privilege of watching these two beautiful male polar bears sparring as they waited for the sea ice to form on the shores of Churchill, Manitoba.

Urban Nights and City Lights

During an evening walk around our neighbourhood, we spotted a family of Eastern Screech owls out on the prowl. I captured one the parents perching itself atop a small tree by the intersection just as a city bus rolled by, its back lights creating a warm and colourful glow while illuminating the owl - making this photograph my interpretation of urban nights and city lights.

Picnic Guest

A Merlin supervising the picnic tables at Costello Creek in Algonquin Park. It had flown in and perched itself on the tree next to our picnic table as we had lunch.

Mountainless Goats

These goats live on a friend's farm alongside the Fraser River in the Cariboo; they are a strange sight hanging out in the middle of a field alongside the cows. From my understanding, one showed up a couple of years ago and began to hang around, and then a second, and since then their herd has grown to an impressive 14 of these alien-looking creatures.
