July 18, 2026, and there was still forest fire smoke coming to our area. I can only assume that the smoke affected the photo as I did no post work on it except cropping. To me, the photo looks more like a painting.

this big fella had been out clamming and as the tide started to rise he stepped into the water and sat....and sat....and sat

Yearling

After a romp in the shallows this youngster went for a romp in the sedge - very playful

A beam of early morning light gently lighting some trilliums during the spring bloom in Ontario.

Lorsqu'il m'a vue m'installer, il est de suite parti prendre un bon bain et, il est revenue sur son 36 prêt pour une séance photo! Colibri à gorge rubis; Saint-Aimé-des-Lacs, 19 juillet 2026

The Last Family Portrait

A mother Long-eared Owl sat quietly with her four owlets, nestled together in the safety of their home. Looking through my lens, I had no way of knowing I was witnessing the final moments this family would ever spend together in that nest. Meteorologists had warned that severe thunderstorms would develop that afternoon. By evening, powerful winds, heavy rain, and hail had swept through southern Manitoba. When I return the following day, the nest was gone. Two of the owlets were on the ground beneath the trees. The other two had reached nearby branches, while their mother remained close, continuing to watch over them. The family had survived, but the home that had sheltered them was gone. This photograph is the last image of all five owls together in the only home they had ever known. When I pressed the shutter at 11:32 AM on June 3, 2026 I thought I was photographing five beautiful Long-eared Owls. Instead, I unknowingly preserved their final family portrait.

Afterglow

This is the Afterglow.....named after the original vessel which was damaged permanently by fire....and so they now run this boat. Instead of staying at the Khutzey Lodge you can also book to stay for 3-4 days on this boat which anchors out in the inlet and excursions take place on a zodiac leaving the boat.

Weathered Building

While travelling down a gravel road trying to find a Ducks Unlimited managed wetland we came across this weathered building that simply needed to have its picture taken.

Morning Reflection

This pond is home to a family of Red Breasted Grebes. Quiet time before the kids wake up. I loved the calmness to this picture and the slight rippling of the trees reflecting in the water.

An American Coot chick is trying to find its way back to its mother. There were several little channels in and out of this part of the wetland. The mother was calling out to the chick and the chick was responding back to the mother. The chick ventured up this channel and out of sight. Picture taken in one of the many wetland areas around Yorkton, Saskatchewan.

An image take from the Cape Spear light house, NL, the most easterly point in North America. The mix of dark clouds and bright patches in the sky created some dramatic and interesting lighting of this coastal cliff view. Taken July 18, 2026 on a Canon R5.
