Evening Hunt

I saw the low angle light and waited for it to cross the path of the owl

The Joyful Bather

In observing Herons I usually find stereotypical and predictable behaviour. On a cold, overcast, and rainy day I found myself watching what, from my human perspective, was one really "goofy" Heron having a great time bathing. It was an unusual site, and although the quality of the photo was not good and needed enhancement, I could not resist putting it 'out there'. :)

Not Another Monday

We had gone for a drive on my last day visiting my family, and found a spot that was still in the sun, later in the afternoon. I saw a Great Blue Heron sitting on top of one of the pillars and it had its head tucked into its chest. It looked nice and cozy all tucked in, and would raise its head once in a while when I car would drive by, then nestle back away. I captioned this image as "not another Monday" because the way its head is tucked in, reminded me of me when I'm not ready to take on the day just yet and stay in bed a little longer.

Snowstorm in Atlantic Canada, January 26th 2026.

Nieve 01

A snowstorm hit on January 26th and I took advantage by hiking into the forest.

Saw Whet Owl Snoozing in Sunshine

With temperatures dipping to -35 degrees Celsius in Winnipeg it was a bitter cold day. This sweet little Northern Saw Whet Owl found a nice warm sunny spot on top of a bird feeder to take an afternoon nap.

A Heron In Flight

When Silence Turns to Light

In the deep silence of the night, light begins to breathe.

Beneath a Living Aurora

Under the northern sky, the aurora unfolded quietly above the frozen mountains, its movement gentle yet deeply powerful. Moments like this remind us how alive the natural world truly is, and how small, grateful, and connected we become in its presence.

Little House on the Shore

A strong storm was forecast for the night of January 20th, was not expecting them to be visible before the sun had really set. It was extremely cold so I headed out right away to try and capture them with something in the foreground before it got even colder! To my surprise the little boathouse was lit up inside so it gave me the perfect subject, the lights also didn’t disappoint!
