Sunshine Love II
A barred owl basks in the sun at the base of the Algonquin Island bridge, one of those Island where-were-you-when moments.
The Loneliness of Being
A barred owl glances downward as a Parks Gator drives by, the most concern it showed for hours as it snoozed in a tree on Algonquin.
Perch on Blue
A barred owl perches in a fir tree at the base of the Algonquin Island bridge, completely unconcerned by the crowd gathered below.
Barred Yawn
A barred owl interrupts a snooze in the sun to yawn loudly. Well, as loud as an owl ever is, which is virtually silent.
Boardwalk Fur
A mink pauses on the boardwalk breakwall, before heading into the pack ice between the Island and the Spit.
Boys and Their Toys
What to do when winter never ends? How about parasailing on the inner harbour with a snowboard?
The Great Wall
The sun rises on Ward’s beach, turned into a wall of ice during the winter of 2013-14.
The Forming
Waves break against the navigation light at the end of Ward’s beach in -20°C weather, building up layers of ice to form a new version of this previous ice sculpture.
Distant Pier
Ice and waves are driven under a hard westerly wind, looking west towards the Centre Island pier from Ward’s Island beach.
Double Double
A photographer stands on the edge of an ice volcano. A risky place to stand, the edges can have an inconsistent density, and can easily collapse under a human’s weight.
