Nature's Tapestry

A quick stopover on a fence before it departed to continue on with its morning foraging, I managed to capture this Northern Flicker and its beautiful tapestry of plumage.

My Goodside

With an opportunity to get some detailed close-up portraits of a great blue heron, I made sure to get his good side—oh, those googly eyes. They sure look like a different bird head-on.

Winter Coyote Stare

A pair of Eastern Coyotes were on the hunt during a downpour. Shot at 1/80s at 800mm, the impossible shot worked out! Much to my surprise and pleasure, I was able to get this shot with both of them in it. The long rain streaks streaming down all around them, their wet backs, the melting ice. It certainly is a shot to remember and makes for a great 2 for 1 deal during the holiday season!

Winter Coyotes

One thing is for sure, you're always been watched when you're out in nature. These coyotes ran in the rain. Shot at 1/80s handheld at 600mm, the rain can be seen streaking with such low shutter speeds. Truly a wonderful shot of Ontario's wildlife.

Great Blue Heron Hunt

In the cool late fall, this Great Blue Heron stalked the waters in search of food. I crouched on the shoreline, keeping quiet, making sure not to disturb it from its intense focus.

The famous total solar eclipse of April 8, 2024

Here is a montage of 10 photos documenting the event. The maximum is reached in photo no. 6, there is only a tiny crescent left. In my region the eclipse was 99% but not total, yet at that moment it became dark for 1 minute accompanied by a cold wind.

Squirrel Snacks

Black-and-white Warbler Bug

Managed to get a shot of a black-and-white warbler with a bug in its mouth!

Bunny Tongue

This little munching bunny was caught mid-snack one evening while out for a walk. I managed to get a shot with its tongue out looking super cute!

Playful behavior?

I was unaware of the presence of these two Ravens and inadvertently spooked them into flight. I sure wish I had known they were just out of my direct line of sight as I would have loved to watch them for a while to learn what they were up to!! Ravens are exceptionally intelligent animals known to use sticks and rocks in various ways, ranging from tool use for accessing food to playful behavior and nest building. What do you think they were doing?

Ring necked pheseant

A walking paint palette with a personality to match. Bright, bold, and just a little bit ridiculous—in the best way.

Gannet In Gold

Perched on the cliff’s edge at Cape St. Mary’s, a gannet glows in golden evening light, poised between sea and sky. In this fleeting moment—Gannet in Gold—wildness meets light.
