Common Loon

Cold morning in the lake with a Common Loon with a surprise May snowfall.

The Lookout

Sweet sibling energy.

The three amigos

Fun in the snow with these Barrows Goldeneye

Walking on water

A male Hooded Merganser ready for flight during a suprise May snowfall

Chomp

There is something quite remarkable when you pause and quietly observe young wildlife. Their playful relationships with their siblings really so show how they are not quite so different from us. Taken in an undisclosed location in Innsifil, ON

It's a small world

A little forest within the forest. Roaming the trails of Friday Harbour in Innisfil, this tiny mushroom stood tall and proud among the moss

A mouthfull

What used to be the first sign of spring in our area, is not anymore. In the past few years, some American Robins will stay in the winter feeding on berries. As long as they find food, they will overcome the cold.

Stranded

A lone Surf Scoter was sitting on the beach near Porteau Cove BC. Given they rarely are seen on land, I was quite worried and monitored the behaviour. Luckily, the scoter return to the water and was seen diving and preening shortly after.

Sir Pintail

This handsome Pintail duck visited the Shores of Georgian Bay, in Collingwood, ON. He was hidden in plain sight among a gathering of mallards. His elegant markings and distinct calls to his hen quietly setting him apart

The Tail Flip

Minnows may be tiny, but their personalities are plentiful. I’ve photographed them for years, watching their little Cirque du Soleil performances as they gleefully leap over floating twigs, dart through the shallows, and launch from the water as it the whole lake is their stage. Taken in Lake Simcoe, Friday Harbour Marina, in Innisfil, ON Canada

Ascension

"The process of moving through a higher plane of existence" This little minnow broke through the ceiling of the mirror like waters of Lake Simcoe, in Innsifil, Ontario, Canada. Chasing his dinner, a small fly resting on the water's tension and leaving us with a spilt second performance.

Spring Sentinel: Chestnut-sided Warbler Among Apple Blossoms

A delicate chestnut-sided warbler perches gracefully on a flowering branch, framed by luminous white apple blossoms and a soft emerald backdrop. Captured at the peak of spring, the image celebrates the vibrant biodiversity of Canada’s natural landscapes. The bird’s striking yellow crown, intricate plumage, and alert posture create a compelling focal point, while the dreamy bokeh and balanced composition evoke a sense of tranquility and renewal. This photograph reflects both technical excellence and artistic vision, showcasing the fleeting beauty of migratory songbirds in their seasonal habitat—an enduring symbol of nature’s resilience and elegance.
