The Arctic Air

A fresh snowfall turned Toronto into a wintery Arctic scene, with cold air carrying the season from the waterfront through every street. As the city settled into winter, a new year waited just around the corner.

Run Wild, Run Free

Wintering

Dunlins are a common wintering shorebird in the Victoria, BC, area from approximately October through March. While overwintering in Victoria myself, I've grown fond of a little flock of them I regularly see at one of my favorite birding locations. It had been raining for weeks on the island, but the sun finally came out, and this little one was hanging out, taking a puase to soak up some sunshine.

Safety in the Trees

On my morning walk I often find this heron roosting in the same tree top. Great Blue Herons commonly use trees for both nesting in colonies and as a safe place to roost and take refuge from ground predators.

Along the Ocean Floor

Hopewell rocks New Brunswick is a famous location for its tidal changes. The Tides are extreme because the Moon’s gravity pulls on the massive volume of water in the Bay of Fundy, and the shape of the bay amplifies that pull. As the Moon draws water toward it, the narrow, funnel‑shaped bay forces that water higher and higher, creating some of the largest tidal ranges on Earth.

WE THE NORTH

Being able to fly certainly is a worthy superpower to have. Especially when you can get views like these. It really puts into perspective how small we are, even when living in one of Canada's largest cities.

Persistence

I spent a good two hours watching this American Kestrel as it dove, returned and dove again, trying to catch itself a meal. What looked like at least three misses, finally resulted in success. It perched for quite sometime with its catch. I believe waiting for the mouse to expire, giving me an opportunity for a few frames.

Arctic Voyagers

A male King Eider and a Long-tailed Duck photographed amidst heavy sea spray. This shot captures the harsh, beautiful reality of pelagic waterfowl, using a shallow depth of field to isolate the subjects against the blurred texture of a rising wave.

Breathe...

Remember to breathe... a scene like this takes your breath away. Hiking here and enjoying the sunset and having some hot rehydrated dinner with friends is what life is about.

Leaves From the Ashes

This year the Halifax region was devastated by wildfires. Nova Scotia’s largest 2025 wildfire burning over 85 kilometers driven by extreme drought and wind. Despite the forests being burnt to the ground, they now are in a new era of regrowth.

Reveal

The best part of a hike? The surprises you find along the way, and this valley and river being lit up by the sun behind the surrounding mountains, were just what I needed to motivate me to keep going.
