Tiny Flower, Tiny Bee

I was walking around on my lunch break, taking advantage of the gorgeous weather, and the fact that I'm stuck indoors all day. I just love to get out whenever I can, and now that the weather is getting nicer, flowers are slowly starting to emerge for spring, which is also bringing out the pollinators. I was so happy to find a few smaller bees busy pollinating a patch of these, also tiny, purple flowers in behind our shop.

Orange You Glad

I was walking around our property, macro in hand, when I saw a butterfly with orange tipped wings. I have never seen one before, so I knew I had to try and get some photos of this beauty. I wasn't having much luck, it wasn't landing too often, so I took some time and did a quick search to find out what this butterfly was called, which is in fact, an Orange-tip Butterfly. I was determined, so I saw a large patch of dandelions and waited around, eventually, another butterfly landed nearby!

Hairy Woodpecker

Lately, at my woodlot feeders. Spring has brought Grackles, and Red-wings a plenty. They tend to dominate the scene, and often drive off many of the other smaller birds. Although most certainly out numbered. This Hairy Woodpecker was undeterred, and managed to muscle his way in.

Golden Coyote

As a big dog lover, seeing their wild counterparts is always a treat, and fascinating as there are many behavioural similarities. This salt march has several packs and it's always fun to watch them on the prowl amongst the tall grass and driftwood. Here, one of the coyotes is walking into the setting sun, making it glow with the gold of the last rays of light. Unfortunately, coyotes are often seen as pests, and animals to be persecuted (I've witnessed people letting their dogs chase them and when challenged, their response is usually "they're only coyotes..."). If we don't treat all wildlife with respect, we don't respect nature.

Foraging in the Fog

Trumpeter swans are one of our winter visitors here in British Columbia and it's always a treat to see them arrive. To me, they are one of the signs that winter has arrived. On this occasion, I was specifically shooting bald eagles, but the swans made for a great distraction. The fog limited visibility to about 20m, but that added a lot of atmosphere, as well as a few photographic challenges. Fortunately, there was no wind, which meant the water was still, further adding to the atmosphere.

Dawn Fox

Originally coming from England, I was used to seeing foxes, often in the urban/suburban environment, but hadn't seen one since moving to Canada. I was on a camping trip and got up pre-dawn one morning to go and see what I could find. As it turns out, I got lucky with this fox. Just after I took this photograph, the fox settled down and had a bit of a nap before wandering off to carry on with its day. It's fair to say that I love foxes, and this is still one of the highlights in the short time I've been doing wildlife photography.

a motionless Dragonfly watching flying insects

incredible structure of its back, and of the wings ,. since the depth of field in macro photography is shallow (1 cm at most), the portion of the right wing is in focus, the left wing slightly blurry ,. Tokina 100 mm macro lens 1/800 sec at f/8, ISO 800 handheld camera

Scoopers

Although image looks more like things with necks, it is in fact a shot of pelicans feeding at the locks on the Red River in Manitoba

Scoopers

The newly migrated pelicans are busy filling up at the river locks.....fast moving water helps with the birds ability to scoop fish up with their bills
