The first wave of #tulips are blooming in my garden 😍

#Bloomscrolling #SpringVibes #iPhonePhotography #YEGPhotographer #CanadianPhotographer #FloralPhotography

Close-up of the centre of a tulip--the base of each petal is black in the centre where it meets the stamen/stem, creating a hexagon-like shape in the middle. The petals then open out in a speckled yellow and red pattern.

No need to wait for #Caturday for cat photos; today is #NationalTabbyDay! Do you have a tabby? Brag on them in the comments!

The tabby-esque beauty in the 1st image is one of my two furbabies; the orange tabby in the 2nd image was a distinguished gentleman I encountered on a winery tour in rural Alberta.

Photo of a brown tabby (with white chest) sitting loaf-like on a bed-spread in red and pink tones.

Photo of an orange tabby sitting loaf-like in the grass, partially hiding behind the tire of a farm vehicle. He is looking at the camera and almost appears to be smiling.

Happy Monday, it's #SaveTheFrogsDay!
Did you know: in Canada, there are 24 native species of frogs and toads (apparently Canada doesn't discriminate between the two).

Close-up of a wood frog (speckled brown with a black strip across its eye), trying to be discreet as it hides in the grass.

Apparently today is #WorldBookDay (why am I always late to these parties?)!

My #photography has been almost entirely self-taught, and most of that has come through reading books on the subject. I was a bookworm before I was a photographer, after all.

#Creatives, what's one book that has had the largest impact on your work? Let me know in the comments! Mine was Understanding Exposure (and others in his series) by Brian Peterson

A stack of books about photography sits in the foreground, with another stack behind. Slightly out-of focus in the background, we see a portion of a woman sitting cross-legged on the floor, surrounded by the books, turning the page of the book she is reading.

Happy #EarthDay! From the tiniest creature to the largest mountain range; water, sky, and land--we are all connected.

We are #nature, and there is a correlation between how well we take care of the earth, and how well we take care of ourselves.

Let's treat the earth with kindness, nourishment, and wonder; and let's protect her, not just for our sake but for that of the next generations to come.

A close-up of a bee, legs and bum dusted with orange pollen, flying towards a purple lupin flower.

A view of Peyto Lake in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Canada, surrounded by mountains on either side. Yellow autumn leaves in the foreground contrast the teal colour of the lake. Many say the shape of the lake from this vantage point looks like a wolf.

Sun sets through some clouds, over the ocean in Costa Rica. The sky is varied shades of orange, yellow, and blue. A lone swimmer is noticeable in the water in the distance.

A downy woodpecker clings to a thin aspen trunk, looking directly at the camera. The muted white and brown tones of the bokeh in the background indicate that it is winter.

A Havanese puppy sits in a wicker basket, his tongue sticking out in a gentle smile. Behind the basket are a bouquet of tulips.

Hello, #YEG! Guess who just got accepted to this year's Whyte Avenue Art Walk!? As "Alberta’s oldest and largest non-juried visual arts festival," this event is kind of a big deal.

Celebrating its 30th year, it will see 400 artists lining the streets at the height of summer; I’ve always come home with a piece of art when I’ve strolled through. Spots for #Photographers in particular are limited, so I’m extra delighted that I made it in!

I couldn't decide between #WildlifeWednesday or #WaterfallWedneday, so I'm going for both 😄

Columbian ground squirrel near Field, BC, on the left; a waterfall I can't recall the name of at Silver Falls State Park in Oregon on the right.

#WildlifePhotography #NaturePhotography #OutdoorPhotography #CanadianPhotographer

Columbian ground squirrel stops everything in a grassy field, to watch what I'm doing; he sits on his haunches, front legs tucked at his torso.

A waterfall cascades down a rock wall, trees beyond in the background, and autumn leaves scattered over the rocks that speckle the creek below the waterfall in the foreground.

I 🩷 flowers; pass it on

Photo of a deep pink calla lily--given the angle of the photo, the funnel-like petal form a heart shape at its opening.

This Four-Spotted Pennant #Dragonfly was captured in Northern Ontario alongside the beach in 2022.

Hello! I'm a wildlife photographer in Alberta, Canada. With easy access to Rockies, badlands, rolling foothills, and open skies, nature is my playground. I also travel to other parts of the globe when I can, to capture the beauty of the wider world as well.

DM me about custom prints of any of my images.

Macro photo of a yellow and burgundy orchid with ripply side-petals and a smattering of "freckles." A second, softly blurred orchid of the same kind is in the background.

A chipmunk sits on a large rock and munches on a dandelion bud.

Crescent Falls in Alberta, Canada. Photographer POV: standing on the rocks at the edge of the pool, at the base of one waterfall, which serves as the top of the next cascading fall, which cascades out the bottom left side of the image.

Northern lights glow green with a hint of purple, rippling in the sky above Astotin Lake, at Elk Island National Park in Alberta, Canada. The iconic tree-covered island in the middle of the lake is silhouetted in the background on the left, with the aurora on the right.

About last night...

Listen, I know it's #Caturday, but can I just take a minute to show you how lovely the sky was last night?

Taken at #ElkIslandNationalPark

#Aurora #AuroraBorealis #AlbertaPhotographer #YEGPhotographer #CanadianPhotographer #ParksCanada #NightPhotography #AstroPhotography #LongExposure

Green aurora borealis ripples in the sky. Underneath, a cluster of trees on an island in the middle of Astotin Lake are silhouetted against the clear and starry sky. The lake is still frozen, creating a snow-covered foreground, with a few grasses peeking through to remind us it's actually spring.

Today in the language of "both/and":

Imperfect and beautiful
Imperfect and vibrant
Imperfect and unique
Imperfect and... (what would you add?)

#Bloomscrolling #Orchids #SpringVibes #FloralPhotography #SOTC #YEGPhotographer #CanadianPhotographer

An orchid with soft yellow petals and a vibrant pink frilly labellum (fading to white at the edges) against a black backdrop. The petal on the right has a very small tear in it--easy to spot, yet does not detract from the beauty of the flower.

I'm a decent green thumb, but #orchids are one of those flowers I'm much better at photographing than growing. Super excited for the Orchid Fair at the #EnjoyCentre in #StAlbert this wknd. This means new work coming soon! For now, here are some shots from previous yrs, two of which were awarded as part of the Orchid Society of Alberta's juried art show in 2023.

Award-winning close-up of a red lady-slipper-like orchid against a black backdrop.

Macro shot of a yellow orchid with deep purple stripes and accents. Photo is taken facing the flower, creating left and right symmetry. The two side petals appear to have short 'hairs' that make the flower stand out from others.

Macro shot of a yellow orchid on a branch, with red/burgundy speckles--the petals are fairly small, and the five petals altogether make this orchid remind me of a starfish.

Award-winning macro shot of a striped magenta/purple orchid. Image captures the front of the orchid, creating left and right symmetry.

Check it out! I officially have an online shop! 😃

A delapidated old farm house stands in a snowy field, footprints leading towards the house from the camera. In the night sky above, stars are visible, including the constellation of Orion.

May your #Caturday be filled with kisses and sunbeams

Black polydactyl cat lays on the bedroom carpet in a sunbeam, eyes closed. Her human (me) crouches over her, kissing her warm sunny cheek.

After more than a foot of snow in the last 24hours, I'm just gonna leave this here to remind #MotherNature of the direction we're supposed to be going...
