Nightmare on Mink St.
The carnivorous teeth of a mink skull discovered in the Sans Souci area of Georgian Bay.
Poise on Black
A snow-white great egret stands in full sunlight, against a perfectly black background of deep shade. This panorama is available as a special 8×18″ panoramic print, see Boutique Pricing for details.
Ultimate Backlight
A cormorant eclipses the sun near Long Pond, pushing the Canon EF 300mm f/4 L lens to its absolute limit.
60 Million Year Old Baby
A blackbird chick sleeps in its nest, waiting for another meal to be delivered by its parents.
Underworld
An underwater camera captures a carp swimming through the algae-laden waters of high summer.
Silhouettes of Spring
Unseasonably high water levels in Spring made it possible to kayak in the wet meadow on Ward’s. Amid the deafening cacophony of nesting blackbirds, this soon-to-be-mother posed in perfect silhouette on one of last year’s reeds.
Polar Reflections
The jet-black eye of a melanistic garter snake reflects the photographer and bystanders under a clear spring sky.
Mighty Hunter
Hunter, one of the Island’s mighty domestic-yet-wild cats, sits back looking cool after brushing off a standard poodle and a full-sized lab on Ward’s beach.
Almighty Branch
Floating in the kayak beside the RCYC’s southern island (what do they call that island?), I came across a type of beaver behaviour that I’ve never seen before. Usually they chew on things that they can reach easily, but these branches were just a little too far out of reach.
Blue Eyes in the Shade
The wonderful blue eyes of a male goose lurking in the shade near Doughnut Island.
Featherstorm
A goose sits on her nest near Doughnut Island, surrounded by down blown off the nest by high winds.
Thermonuclear Equinox
A Christmas tree goes nuclear at the annual beach bonfire (thanks Alice!) celebrating the Spring Equinox. There’s a lot of potential energy stored in a Christmas tree, especially after drying out for three months. Don’t try this at home, kids.
Sunset Gaze
A juvenile black-crowned night heron gazes over its shoulder in strong sunset light off of Algonquin Island.
