If You Go Out in the Woods Today...
... you might meet this guardian of the trail. He reclines and lurks along the Chris Hadfield Trail on Salt Spring Island.

Artist at Work
Taken from inside, through the window, when I noticed this fall spider busy at work spinning an incredible web.

Not So Common Sapsucker
Just a daily visit by one of nature's most gorgeous creatures. Do we take birds for granted?

Stump Lake
This little island in the middle of Stump lake in Alice Lake Provincial Park has no name. It lends itself to spectacular photos throughout the year.

Slough Reflection
Captured while walking by the Judd slough in Squamish. The sunset pink in the clouds created a perfect complement to the calm waters and flowing reeds of the slough.

American Dipper
This American Dipper, at edge of Harrison Lake, is serenading me on my late afternoon walk January 1, 2021. It is perched on a culvert that let's a rushing creek from the hillside through the dyke near the mouth of the Miami River.

Captivating Eyes
Goat's Peak Regional Park in West Kelowna on a beautiful November day, 2020. We heard a "woof" while hiking, paused and saw her watching us. At first we thought it was a wolf and gave a wide berth, but then realized she was a very healthy (and intense) coyote. Such captivating eyes!

Western Meadowlark
April 5, 2020 at White Lake in the South Okanagan. April 5th is my birthday and I wanted to see a Meadowlark. It was a real gift to have one land, a few feet away, right in front of me and I had my camera ready!
