Hello friends! It’s been a pretty cold winter this year and we’ve had our share of days below -40C. Usually it is around this time of year that I start to see owls appear along the edges of the roads perched atop telephone poles or gliding along ditches in search of prey. I have a theory about why they seem …
Welcome back! This Sunday I’m sharing my favourite story from my trip to the Khuzeymateen. I mentioned last week that I had an opportunity to see a mother bear and her cub every day of my trip. It was nice to be able to readily identify an individual and have them feel familiar in such a short amount of time. …
March is the perfect time to plan a vacation. What is better than planning a beach vacation? Planning a wildlife photo adventure of course! This is the first of a two part post about my first wildlife photo adventure. To celebrate my 40th birthday, I took a solo travel adventure to photograph grizzly bears in their natural habitat in a …
Welcome back, friends. The end of February and beginning of March are often the most difficult times to live in Yellowknife. This is generally when we experience the coldest temperatures of the year. The days begin to get longer but when it’s beautifully sunny out it usually means that your face will freeze and fall off in under 5 minutes …
Are you tired of all the posts about foxes? Me neither! I am particularly fond of shooting foxes in the winter with the beautiful arctic light and the crisp clean backdrop of snow. Winter provides a fantastic opportunity to capture foxes in their majestic winter coats and observe mating behaviours. The family of foxes that I had a chance to …
Welcome to the Sunday edition of WildKnife Photo stories. In anticipation of Valentines day I thought it might be fun to have a look at love in the subarctic animal kingdom. As you know foxes and ravens are plentiful in and around Yellowknife and so it’s reasonable to assume that I would have an opportunity to see these animals displaying …
Welcome back! This week’s Sunday edition tells the story of the ptarmigan. They are one tough bird. Last winter we had an explosion of ptarmigan. They were everywhere and it seemed as though you couldn’t walk or drive anywhere without finding a cluster of these little snowballs. That’s why it was so odd to come across this one by itself. …
Happy Sunday! Last Sunday I showed you a a few shots of animals in love, or lust maybe! One of the animals that I love to photograph is foxes. (As if that wasn’t already obvious.) This is a story about a den in the middle of downtown. I’m not sure if it’s still being used but I guess we’ll find …
Happy New Year to everyone! Thank you all for your support over the past year. I am grateful for all of your likes, comments and shares and hope that the upcoming year will provide more opportunities to share my love of wildlife. This week I wanted to share some images I took during the Audubon Society’s Annual Christmas Bird Count …
Hello and welcome back! I hope that everyone had a wonderful relaxing holiday and shared time with friends and family. This week is the last story of 2017 and part two of the story we started December 17 all about black and white wildlife photography. In part one of this story we looked at how stripping away the colour from …
