Waiting for the Wave

I spent some time on the beach on the west coast of Vancouver Island just waiting to see what would stay behind after the waves drifted back towards the ocean. I loved watching the bubbles and how they would wrap around the seaweed that remained.

The Unison Call

Captured in the soft light of dawn, two Sandhill Cranes (Antigone canadensis) perform their complex courtship dance. The image showcases the distinctive red crowns and expansive wingspan characteristic of the species, documenting a moment of intense social communication in their natural habitat.

Blue Jay Stare

This little Blue Jay caught my eye looking down at me from my pergola on my back porch. I took this picture through my window as I knew as soon as I would open the door, they would be gone.

Spiral

This little shell was washed up in between some rocks by the shore of the lake. I just loved this tiny scene. The lighting wasn't the best at the time I discovered it so I went back in the morning in hopes that the light would be better. I crouched down on a rock and leaned over, hoping that I would stay steady with my camera in hand. I made it.

Looking a little wet

We had a weekend of rain when I was visiting Southern Alberta. I had so much fun this weekend taking pictures of animals with wet fur. I came upon this little cub with the rest of their family. I love the colour of the black bear. This photo was taken with a telephoto lens and then cropped in for composition.

Strike a Pose

This little Steller's Jay was sitting in a bush right beside me and my husband while we were paying attention to a bald eagle above us perched on a tree. This bird could not care less that we were there and when we finally noticed them I started to take some pictures. They were just looking around, moving their heads in different directions as if they were in a photo shoot.

Flowing from Mars

Waterfalls flow through the step faces of The Tablelands in Gros Morne National Park, one of the few places in the world where the earths mantle has been thrust above the surface and the rusted iron-rich mantle rock gives it a Mars like appearance.

Balancing Act

Trying to position the sun on the branch of this tree took a bit of effort. It would have been relatively easy to do if I were standing on dry land. It's a lot more challenging when floating around in a canoe.

Rockin' Thunder

During a road trip to BC we stopped for one night at Aaron Provincial Park near Dryden, ON. It's a small recreational park on the shores of Thunder Lake. It had a great beach, but also some interesting rocky sections.
