The Art of Basking

Finding a quiet spot out of the current. This female Mallard was perfectly content basking in the dappled afternoon sun, letting the light catch the intricate patterns of her plumage. The detail on her head feathers and that sharp little glint in her eye made this quiet moment impossible to pass up.

Salmon Galore

Laaya, the kermode bear, was feasting on salmon in the middle of a creek.

Self Reflection

In the Canadian Rockies, I stumbled across a family of four; a sow taking care of three cubs. One of the cubs wandered off to look at its own reflection in a nearby pond.

A Mother's Love

In the Great Bear Rainforest, it was a surreal experience watching a black bear cub feast on salmon with its mother right in front of me. The bears must have been roughly within 10 feet of me while I took this photo.

Eastern screech owl

Resilient, striking, and completely captivating. A beautiful encounter with a unique Eastern Screech-Owl

The Sentinel's Warning

Witnessing the transition from high-speed apex predator to this stoic sentinel on the branch is exactly why wildlife photography never gets old. The hunt is successful. The territory is secure. And that gaze? That isn’t a curious look—it’s a warning.

A quiet moment with the fastest land mammal in North America

Strike a Pose

I encountered one of the most rare animals in the world. Located in the Great Bear Rainforest, I walked to a creek where spirit bears frequent. As soon as I reached the target location, I was surprised to see Laaya, the spirit bear, just on the other side of the creek. The creek must have been 20 feet wide. I was watching in awe and wonder while Laaya was roaming around the creek, looking for salmon. He just happened to look directly at me as he had one leg resting on a log. It looked as if Laaya was a trained model striking a pose for the camera; this moment left an impression on me given how habituated Laaya must have been to humans since he was so unbothered by my presence.

Black-Necked Stilt

The sun had just dropped below the horizon, when I spotted a pair in a small slough. May 19th in Saskatchewan.

Rufous Hummingbird

May 8th I spotted this male Rufous Hummingbird sitting here. It took off but I waited hoping it would come back to this great perch. Taken in lower BC.

Steller's Jay

In the first full week of May, I took this image in the lower mainland of BC.

Pretty Yellow Warbler

I watched this pretty yellow warbler quickly jump around from branch to branch. It sat still for just enough time to lock focus and capture this photo.

Camouflaged Frog

I spotted this little camouflaged frog resting in the marsh water. I got my camera as low as I could without submerging it into the water in hopes to capture it at eye level.

Where's the crossing guard?

Heading to my favourite birding spot I happened upon this Snapping turtle attempting to leave a ditch and cross the road. I flagged a few cars to slow down and then left to park. By the time I returned the turtle was gone. Somewhere in the swampy ditch on the opposite side of the road.
