Travel Memories

As if Khutzey Wilderness Lodge wasn't breathtaking enough... the wilderness sent a rainbow to remind us that the most extraordinary moments are always the ones you never see coming.

Bull Moose on a misty morning

This was an encounter that will be etched in my memory for a long time. I was hiking on a trail and heard some noises. I approached cautiously and saw this magnificent bull moose grazing. I was lucky I had my camera with me to take this photo.

Osprey while hunting in a local pond came with a plastic cup in its talons. This shot was taken after it dropped it and moved on for the next target.

Lupins from Above

How do you take a photo of a wildflower like the lupin that has been photographed countless times and have others see it differently? It all comes down to perspective. We often see photos of the beautiful vertical blooms against the backdrop of a field of other lupins or the ocean and they are all no doubt beautiful. But while walking through a small patch of lupins, where the backdrop wasn't particularly exhilarating, I wanted to get creative. Then I looked down and the lightbulb went off. I had never really paid attention to what a lupin looked like from the perspective of looking down at it, and so I got out my camera and experimented. It paid off. There were details of the flower I had not noticed before, colours peaking out we don't see while looking at the flower from the side. This shot of a purple lupin that I took has now changed the way I look at these beautiful blooms, and I'm grateful for having yet another way to enjoy these wildflower. The best time to see lupins in Newfoundland is from late June through mid-July. Residents and visitors can enjoy them in colours like purple, pink and blue. Photo is taken in Port-Aux-Basque, Newfoundland.

Funny Fungi

In the dark, moist nooks and crannies of west coast Newfoundland forests, you'll find some pretty interesting fungi. They're often easy to spot, especially when their colours are so vibrant like this type of Amanita mushroom. These mushrooms, big and small, stand out amongst a sea of green vegetation. their stocks are sturdy and thick and their caps make for great cover for local bugs and critters, as well as food for some wildlife. While some species are edible, many Amanita are deadly poisonous and should never be consumed by humans, but are safe for beings like rodent and slugs, deer and large ungulates. This particular type of fungi primarily grows during the summer and autumn months, starting in June and lasting until November. This photo was taken in Rocky Harbour, Newfoundland.

A misty morning after a rain storm caused a mirror like stillness on a lake in Kawartha Highlands

Long Claws

Long, prominent claws are visible on the front right paw, these slightly curved claws are built for digging up roots, insects, and clamming

Patience Rewarded

Spent the morning blending into the shoreline, watching this Great Blue Heron move with absolute precision. There’s something deeply grounding about sharing a quiet, undisturbed moment with a bird so locked into its own element.

unable to see images that ARE infact, loaded

So I see empty spaces where the images are loaded....I click on the spaces and I can see the images....currently there are 3 that look empty but are there if I click on the white space. A new type of glitch. I ensured on my end, that everything is running uptodate. This is the only site where I continue to have issues.....but have yet to hear back. --- Timestamp: 2026-08-03T14:30:21.299Z Page: https://photoclub.canadiangeographic.ca/feedback User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/151.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

A Lesson In Stillness

Spending time with this Great Blue Heron reminded me why I love wildlife photography so much. To get a shot like this, you have to match their pace—slow down, stay quiet, and just observe. Captured this serene moment along the water’s edge.
