Barred owl

As I was walking in the forest, I came across this barred owl. She was cleaning herself and getting ready to hunt. I stopped at a good distance from her to observe her but she must have heard me. She suddenly lifted her head and looked directly at me with that defiant look, as if to say « how dare you come in my forest human ? »

King Overlooking the Kingdom

High above the valley floor, where the terrain narrows into fragile ridgelines, a mountain goat pauses in stillness. Light breaks intermittently through cloud cover, revealing the layered geometry of peaks and the glacial waters below. In this moment, the animal appears less as an inhabitant of the land and more as a sentinel — quietly surveying a domain shaped long before its presence. In the alpine world, scale humbles everything.

The Lost Childhood

Deep in the backcountry of Temagami, I was just about to crawl into my tent when this family stormed through the portage trail at 10pm at night. It was a family with 3 kids on a 3-week canoe trip during summer break. The parents had to go back for their two canoes, and the 3 boys stayed here while they waited for their parents. Sitting at the edge of the dock, not a sound in the night but their laughter, I grabbed my camera and took this shot. They had no screens. No phones. Just a brilliant moment with each other looking at the stars and milky way. This image is a reminder to let kids have their childhood back full of outdoor adventures, and less time on screens with the rise of phone addiction. When the parents got back an hour later, I asked the parents if I could have their email address, because I just took the most wonderful photo of their children.

Boundary Lake Solitude, Canadian Rockies

Boundary Lake, Alberta. - August 2025 Some photos taken in August 2025 when my daughter Victoria and I visited Alberta. These are from the hike to Boundary Lake, which is a small yet scenic alpine lake, located right on the border of Jasper National Park and Banff National Park. We had just finished the new Odyssey tour at the Columbia Icefield, an out of this world exclusive experience with less people on a separate, more quiet part of the glacier than the normal large tour. Getting to Boundary Lake was easy, it was only about a 20 minute hike in and 3kms round trip. Although if you asked Victoria she would say "OMG WE WERE HIKING FOREEVVEERRRRR, THAT WAS NOT 20 MINUTES DAD!" We had the whole lake to ourselves, it was a great moment to share with Victoria that I think she will cherish at some point in the future!
