Otterly Trapped
I was sitting at a picnic table at the end of a dock taking photos of some nearby ducks when I heard snorting and shuffling. I turned around to see two river otters exploring at the entry to the dock I was on. I started to take some photos, but then they began working their way towards me. I don't think they realized at that time I was there, and with no place to go but to jump into the water, I had no choice but to make my presence known as I was "otterly trapped" at the end of the dock! LOL So, I cleared my throat to alert them, capturing their surprised little faces in this shot.
Survival at a Cost
In the quiet wilderness of British Columbia, a coyote grips tightly to its hard-earned meal—an unfiltered moment of survival unfolding in real time. There is no malice here, only instinct. No cruelty, only the ancient rhythm of predator and prey that sustains the balance of the wild. Photographed low to the ground, this intimate perspective places us eye-to-eye with a creature often misunderstood. The intensity in its gaze tells a story of resilience, adaptability, and the relentless pursuit of life in a landscape that demands it. Moments like this are rarely witnessed, and even more rarely documented with such proximity. It is a reminder that beyond the edges of our cities, nature operates by its own rules—raw, honest, and essential.
Baltimore Oriole
While trying to be in the right position to get a clear shot of this oriole hopping around this flowering tree, I managed to capture him grabbing a little bee for a snack.
Black and White Warbler
Caught this guy doing his best Nuthatch impersonation.
Black-throated Blue Wabler
While waiting by a marshy shore waiting to see if anything would run by, I heard a song I've never heard. I checked an app and this guy popped up. I followed the song and found this guy hoping around some branches.
Bison on the hill
I paid a short visit to Waterton N.P. while in Alberta. It was one of the windiest days I had on the trip, lots of clouds too. When I first went to see the Bison in their paddock they were huddled in a gully. On the way home I decided to pay them another visit, lucky at that time they were on the move and a bit of sun broke from the clouds to light them up for me.

Testing the edge
A young horse pauses mid-motion, twisting back on itself in a moment that feels both playful and instinctive. In these early stages of life, curiosity often leads to the edge—where balance, awareness, and survival begin to take shape. Captured in warm, low-angle light, this fleeting gesture reflects the restless energy and discovery that define youth in the natural world.
The Chased
A slight look of panic while being chased.
Smile for the Camera
Caught these two having fun and chasing each other, then they turn decided to give me a big smile.
At the edge of Thunder
Perched on a narrow ledge beside the roaring cascade of Rand Falls, a mountain goat and its young rest in a moment of calm above the chaos below. Mist rises in powerful bursts as water crashes into the turquoise pool, shaping both the landscape and the lives that depend on it. The pair’s quiet presence contrasts with the relentless force of the falls, highlighting the remarkable balance between vulnerability and adaptation in Canada’s rugged wilderness. Scenes like this reveal how wildlife not only survives—but thrives—at the very edge of nature’s power.
Where the light meets the land
Captured in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley, a break in the storm reveals a vivid rainbow descending across layered mountain ridges and open pasture. In the foreground, horses graze quietly, grounded in a landscape shaped by both weather and time. Here, the Fraser River’s tidal influence subtly defines the rhythm of the valley—its rise and fall nourishing the land, even as storms pass overhead. This fleeting alignment of light, weather, and life reflects the balance between atmospheric forces and the enduring calm of the natural world.
After the Burn
Captured from a drone’s perspective, this aerial view reveals the aftermath of a wildfire in Canada’s forested landscape. Charred earth and skeletal tree remains stretch outward, etched with long shadows that emphasize the scale of loss. Yet, scattered clusters of surviving trees glow in warm tones, offering a striking contrast against the blackened terrain. This image documents both the destructive force of wildfires and the early signs of resilience—an ecosystem in transition, shaped by fire and poised for renewal.
