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).

Photo of an old, broken payphone, the receiver hanging over the orange phone box, dangling on the side, instead of on the receiver. Above the phone box is the word "Listen" in graffiti. This pays homage to the Listen Bird which is, in effect, a graffiti "meme" that started in Edmonton (learn more at: https://www.streetmuseumofart.org/listen), as well as being a funny recommendation, given that the phone is very broken.

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?)

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.

Look what came in the mail today! Seeing my work in print never gets old! (The velvety feel of the cardstock covers is also a nice touch--literally.)

And yes, these beauties are available for purchase! I'm still working on an online storefront, so for now, DM me for details on pricing and shipping 😊

Three coil-bound journals displayed on a table surface. The covers include: a red-breasted nuthatch on a branch; a grain shed and small barn with the Canada flag painted on it, in a canola field; and a sunset behind an island in the middle of the iconic Astotin Lake in Alberta.

Happy First Day of #Spring! In my part of the world, I won't see flowers open for about another month, but here are some of my favourite early-bloomers!

When I wake up in the mornings, I always pull back my curtains a bit for a live weather check. If there's activity at the bird feeder outside my window, then even better. Today I watched a downy woodpecker having breakfast. Not the one captured in the photo, but it felt like this sweet little bird would be a good subject for today's #WildlifeWednesday.
