Looking Back

I’ve been watching this buck go just over a year, I have one of his shed antlers from last year.

This too shall pass

Half of the summer in Central and Southern Alberta this year was quite rainy. It was hard to take landscape shots as the visibility was quite often nil. This day I decided to take my chance and see if mountains would appear. I was presented with mood and mountains, I couldn't have asked for more.

"How about I pose like this"

This Steller's Jay was so entertaining. They were hiding in a bush right beside me and when I discovered they were there I had the most fun doing a photo shoot with them.

Lights of Mt Tekarra

The beautiful Aurora Borealis over Mt Tekarra which is located in Jasper National Park

"Pick me!" "No, pick me!"

I was camping by Castle Falls in Southern Alberta when I discovered this American dipper nest right beside the falls. I visited it several times over the weekend and was amazed how busy this mama was flying back and forth to feed her little ones.

Turkey Crossing

Not your regular bump on a log. A few turkeys made their way over a log so close to me I almost couldn't fit them in my frame at 50mm. What a unique treat to witness and lucky to capture. The elegant turkey is making a big revival in Eastern Canada. They are resilient and well adapted to our Canadian winters. The colors on a turkey are perhaps the most underrated in the entire bird universe. They are simply stunning and stand out in nice contrast to the fresh snow.

Yes, This Is My Good Side

The elegant turkey is making a big revival in Eastern Canada. They are resilient and well adapted to our Canadian winters. Turkeys usually prefer a more wooded habitat, but the snow has created a wonderful background separation for this one foraging out in the open. The colors on a turkey are perhaps the most underrated in the entire bird universe. They are simply stunning. On this special rare occasion, I was able to get close enough to this one to see my reflection in the eye.

Charcoal and White

I sit quietly watching a group of Black Turnstones on a rocky outcrop. This one looking demure, peers my way. I capture an intimate close-up of it and detailed lovely dark-on-white mottled plumage and soulful brown eyes. Named for their unique foraging habits, they utilize their short, chisel-shaped bills to turn over stones, shells, and seaweed on beaches to uncover prey hidden beneath. They reside on the Pacific coast of North America, exclusively breeding in the western/southern Alaska tundra and wintering on rocky shorelines from Alaska to Baja California. This is one, along with a small group, I found on Vancouver Island.

Portrait of a Survivor

The elegant turkey is making a big revival in Eastern Canada. They are resilient and well adapted to our Canadian winters. This turkey forages among the dried threads of goldenrod that persist into winter because they grew on a rotten stump surrounded by water. Now frozen, this has created a seed island and unique background separated by snow as turkeys usually prefer a more wooded habitat. The colors on a turkey are perhaps the most underrated in the entire bird universe. They are simply stunning.

Zap

Bucket list shot for me. Seeing the strike hit the ground and capturing a photo of it was such an amazing feeling.

Structure

Amazing storm structure with an amazing structure in the foreground. These are the storm images I live for.

Wall cloud

Large wall cloud spinning over southeast Saskatchewan. Storm was tornado warned for hours.

Wroxton

Sever warned storm and shelf cloud approaching Wroxton Saskatchewan

Windmill storm

This windmill made a perfect foreground for this pretty early season storm. Even a small bolt of lightning to finish the season

Canola Contrast

Canola season usually means peak storm season across the prairies. This day proved this theory correct.
