When I first came to Canada I was suddenly finding myself out in a lot of wild places, increasing the chance of crossing paths with animals I’d never interacted with before. Most of these were reasonably familiar with via the odd documentary in the past, but there were a few species that I took very … More Alpine Berry Bear
Over the course of the past few months I have began to accumulate sightings of Red-tailed Hawks. I saw one on a couple of occasions last winter, but this year I have been seeing them much more regularly. I’m not sure if this is due to the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon, an increase in their numbers, or … More First close look: Red-Tailed Hawk
This year was the 34th annual Winter Bald Eagle Count, and my 4th year volunteering to count the Upper Squamish Valley. The count has been organised every year for the first Sunday in January and is a fixture as a part of the Brackendale Winter Eagle Festival that runs through January. Volunteer counters cover areas … More 2020 Squamish Bald Eagle Count
This morning I went out to see how many eagles I might be able to spot this early in the season throughout the Squamish valley. I thought maybe I’d find an opportunity to blend the striking Fall colours with a Bald Eagle that is perched conveniently in a nice tree. I checked many of the … More A wildlife encounter to remember
Exploring my backyard trails and re-finding a few old gems. The selfie thing can be pretty challenging from a timing perspective, but sometimes it works out alright. For this first shot, I attached a Gorillapod to a 4 inch diameter tree with the camera at head height to maintain the angle of perspective that is … More Solo Rides
I had a whole bunch of stuff written here at first, and then I realised it didn’t really matter. This post is supposed to be about the images that came from my cameras during 2018, so if anyone out there enjoys seeing what I see, here they are…. The first reasonable Hummingbird image I … More 100 photos from 2018
Morning sun slowly creeps down to the river, casting a blanket of warmth and sending moisture skyward. It’s going to be a beautiful day…
I’ve spent a lot of my photographic time on these incredible little creatures through this Summer. Having them right on our back deck has given me a unique insight into their behaviours, sounds and supremely eye-catching colours. The activity has finally begun to slow down in recent weeks, I’m seeing the juvenile males less and … More Getting to know Hummingbirds
I had grand visions of spending a couple of weeks exploring Tasmania. Some of Australias most incredible mountainous bushland can be found on this small island at the bottom of the continent. I wanted to see the coastal areas, explore the bush and high alpine plains, and ride bikes in Australias brand new premium mountain … More Mountain Biking in Derby, Tasmania
After a couple of casual minutes framing up a few shots, I was descended upon by hordes of mosquitos as I continued to make these images. I’d skipped the bug spray and that came back to “bite me” once I got setup. Lately I haven’t been outside this late in the evening, but I really … More Crescent Moon & Venus
