Delta Wing Pose

This is a natural sunbathing posture where the bird extends its wings outward, letting them droop slightly down and forward to form a distinct, triangular shape.

The Look Between Wild and Familiar

There’s something almost human in the expression of this red fox as it pauses on the rocky hillside and stares directly into the lens of Lou Fasullo Photography. The narrowed eyes and calm posture give the impression of quiet curiosity — as if the fox is studying the photographer just as carefully as it’s being photographed. Red foxes are among the most adaptable mammals in Canada, with a range that stretches from the forests of the Maritimes to the rugged landscapes of the Yukon. In the North, they survive long winters and changing conditions with remarkable intelligence, keen senses, and thick insulating fur that allows them to thrive in some of Canada’s harshest environments. Photographing wildlife moments like this is a reminder that the wild world often reflects emotions and expressions we recognize in ourselves. For just a second, this Yukon fox seemed less like a distant wild animal and more like a silent observer sharing the moment.

Among the Blossoms

Perched within a canopy of spring blossoms, this baltimore oriole earches for food in the early morning light. The image captures a fleeting moment of calm and color during the height of the blooming season.

A colourful display

The warblers are i full migration mode and I was quick enough to snap this shot of a Magnolia Warbler.

Copper and Crimson

The crimson gorget on this male rufous hummingbird flashes red as it stretches its coppery feathers, perched on new lush spring foliage. Nakusp BC

Copper Contortions

This male rufous hummingbird looks twisted and contorted as it preens, angling its head in a way so it can reach those wing feathers with its long tiny bill. Nakusp BC

Electric Night Over Calgary!

Last night, lightning kept striking over Calgary nonstop for quite some time. I took multiple exposures to capture the scene. It was one of the most dramatic nights I have ever witnessed. That’s Calgary for you, snowstorms and thunderstorms, sometimes in the same month!

Stretching My Wings

This Semipalmated Plover was stretching its wings by water's edge in between foraging for small crustaceans/mollusks and resting in seaweed. It was lovely to see this small wading bird so at ease in its aquatic/coastal environment. (As always, photo taken with a zoom to keep a safe distance to avoid disturbing these wading shorebirds).

In the Eyes of the Gar

I captured this shot of a longnosed gar in the St. Lawrence River, using an underwater light to pierce the murky depths. Normally, these prehistoric ambush predators remain perfectly camouflaged, their ancient forms dissolving into the shadowed riverbed. However, the sudden burst of the strobe acted as a revealing spotlight, illuminating the striking, metallic gold of its iris and exposing the rugged, bone-like texture of its scales. The stark lighting isolates the unblinking eye against the impenetrable black background, highlighting the quiet tension between the raw, enduring biology of the aquatic ecosystem and the fleeting intrusion of human observation.

Ice Bound Coneflower

I captured this macro photograph of a frozen coneflower in Kingston, Ontario, immediately following a late March ice storm. By this time of year, these perennial remnants are typically nothing more than dried, dormant husks. However, the thick encapsulation of freezing rain acted as a natural glass lens, magnifying the intricate geometric patterns of the central disk and returning a striking, crystalline false life to the withered plant. The shallow depth of field isolates the ice-bound seed head against the softly blurred background, highlighting the quiet tension between the natural decay of the botanical structure and the pristine, transformative grip of a late-winter freeze."

Dancer in the Marsh

Captured near Presqu'ile Provincial Park, this high-altitude drone photograph provides a direct top-down perspective on the complex geometry of a coastal wetland in winter. While navigating the coastline near Brighton, I noticed a captivating pattern: a giant dancer in the marshland. The brown of the marsh plants, normally dead and drab in November, really stood out against the bright greens and yellows of the marl and algae of the lakebed.

Pillar of Autumn

I captured this top-down drone shot over the Cataraqui River in Kingston during the peak of autumn. I loved how the vibrant fall foliage creates a vivid, fiery slash that boldly bisects the waterscape. By framing the scene directly from above, I wanted to emphasize the striking contrast between the wind-swept shallows on one side and the dark, calm water blanketed with aquatic plants on the other. It feels like a beautiful, abstract painting naturally formed by the shifting seasons.

Red Fox

A red fox catches his dinner in rural Newfoundland. A bittersweet scene from the wild: harsh, necessary, and undeniably part of nature’s rhythm.
