Serene Victoria

Victoria, BC is home to one of the most beautiful harbours located right in the heart of the city. During the day, the harbour is lively and vibrant, full of movement and energy; however, at night or in the quiet hours before dawn, it transforms into a serene and peaceful space. Capturing it with a long exposure here truly does justice to the harbour’s timeless beauty.

Camo

If it hadn’t turned its head, I would never have noticed this beautiful great grey owl perched quietly above me. Several people stopped to see what I was photographing and asked what had caught my attention. Even after I pointed out the tree and branch, they still couldn’t spot him—until he finally took flight.

Last Gulp

I watched this great grey owl hunt for nearly an hour before it finally caught a vole. To my delight, it flew to a post right in front of me and swallowed the vole whole in a matter of seconds. This image was captured at the moment of its final gulp.

Breaking the surface

I had hiked into a quiet lake looking for moose. I was rewarded when this cow moose spent a long time in the water, eating aquatic plants below the surface
