Welcome back to the Sunday edition. A couple of weeks ago I took my son out for a wiener roast in spite of the cold and windy weather. The temperatures were just beginning to climb into the “comfortable” zone and we parked near a small lake and listened to the birds and the wind in the trees. We tried our …
Yellowknife is surrounded on three sides by the massive boreal forest, a nursery for migratory birds and wildlife that spans the country. Most of the forest surrounding Yellowknife is intact which makes Yellowknife a great destination for any wildlife enthusiast. In the summer, the long days provide excellent and extended opportunities to get out into the wilderness and go exploring. …
Welcome back! Thanks for spending some time with me here, I appreciate your support! It’s been a cold spring.

Due to colder temps of the last little while, we are seeing a few more …
Welcome back to the Sunday Edition. This week I’m sharing a few images I shot of a fox hunting on a frozen lake. I was out birding and spotted this red fox hunting along the shoreline in the cattails. The light and shadows at play across the ice made me think of wildlife paintings. I am always amazed at the …

Hello there! It’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to post and I appreciate your patience as we all adjust to the new “normal”. Things changed rapidly while I was on vacation and it took some time to readjust to this new life. I was in Vancouver for ten days and during that time of increasing social distancing …
Welcome to the Sunday edition. I went birding recently to see who was out and about and I was surprised to find this beautiful Great Grey out hunting. She didn’t catch anything while I was there but tolerated my presence for a little while before I left her to continue her hunt. I’m looking forward to the coming migration and …

It really paid off!! I took a taxi just a few kilometres from our hotel to a deserted beach studded by small restaurants where …
