Country Road

A road going down the valley

This light lasted about ten minutes. Not luck, I was there because I checked the forecast the night before and knew the cloud layer would catch colour right at sunset. Then it’s reading the scene fast: finding the angle that puts the rocks already sitting in the shallows where I want them in the frame, how much sky to keep, waiting for the water to settle enough to hold Inglismaldie and Girouard in the reflection.

Icy Castle

Just after the storm cleared. The clouds were still moving when they broke just enough to let the light hit the peaks, cold foreground, warm rock. That contrast lasts a few minutes at most before the sky get fully covered. Every location teaches something different about when to be there. The icy crack in the foreground wasn’t planned. It was my first time there and started to observe around me, then saw that small crack. I got low to make it work as a lead into the frame and it became the strongest element in the shot.

Preparing for winter

A very busy pika prepares for the long winter ahead by collecting huge mouthfuls of grass and wildflowers to store as food reserves.

Blonde grizzly cub

A very blonde grizzly cub of the year stands above the bushes to get a better look around.

Woodland caribou

A woodland caribou pauses on the edge of a road with a mountain backdrop.

Crown of Needles

Blending seamlessly into the late-summer landscape, a rust-toned grasshopper pauses among evergreen needles. A quiet reminder of the rich, often-overlooked biodiversity thriving right beneath our feet.
