First Mates

I waited for years to capture the babies on mom's back. I watched the adults mate, so I had a timeline to start with. I waited the four days for her to lay the eggs. I then knew what day to come back to the site which is aprox 27 to 28 days later. I arrived on the 27th day and there they were.... 2 chicks riding on the back of mom. A lifer for me.

Homecoming

The ice is receding and our lakes are finding their voice again. It was nice to see the loons return to Clear Lake this Spring

a Mallard, resting

A mallard resting in Regina's Wascana Park, perhaps waiting for the sun to warm things up.

Rights Grabbing

It is utterly appalling that Canadian Geographic has turned into nothing hut a pathetic rights grabbing organization to use imagery for calendars, magazines and more without ever paying photographers a cent for image use. Canadian Geographic has effectively killed an income stream for the photographers they relied on for editorial needs all for their own greed for profit. --- Timestamp: 2026-05-11T09:57:15.178Z Page: https://photoclub.canadiangeographic.ca/feedback User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 10; K) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/147.0.0.0 Mobile Safari/537.36
