Magpie On Green Grass
Magpies can be quite noisy, especially if you get a group of them together. They can seem quite loud and boisterous. Alone, though, I have come to appreciate when I see one quietly going about its business.

Monarch Butterfly
Among the most recognizable of all butterfly species, the monarch has a distinct colouring and pattern that make it very easy to distinguish. It is no accident, and the vivid orange pattern acts as aposematic

Black-capped Chickadee
They will almost always be on the move, hopping from branch to branch, then flying away. A moment later you will look up and a black-capped chickadee will have returned. They seem more curious than other

Squirrel in the Snow
This squirrel didn't seem to mind the snow too much. I am sure after several days up in a tree when the snow first came was making him a bit squirrely, so he needed to come down to forage and find some

Ant Crawling on a Leaf Macro Photography
I followed along as this ant was crawling on a leaf. I wasn't using a traditional macro lens for these; I was using a 35mm lens with extension tubes attached, which allowed the lens to focus much closer.

The Bow Downtown Calgary
It is among the tallest buildings in Downtown Calgary's impressive skyline; it's hard to believe that there are a few buildings here at this height. This one to me stands out as one of the most

Fish Creek Provincial Park
One thing I've learned going on nature hikes to do photography is that when I go to larger parks and nature areas, don't expect everything to just happen. The birds might not be out, the animals may be

Parade of Wonders Calgary Comic Expo Cosplay
I can't think of a better way to trick hundreds of people into wearing costumes, dressing as their favourite characters, and marching down the street than a cospaly parade. It's a perfect excuse to cut

Monomad: Cosplays at the Calgary Comic Expo Parade of Wonders
There are so many characters and cosplays to keep track of every time I capture these events that the learning never stops. I always see a huge mix of familiar and unfamiliar, and I don't think I will

Penguins at the Calgary Zoo
These birds seem to enjoy each other's company, and with a variety of penguin species under one roof, there seems to be a peaceful coexistence. I see them being playful with others, diving in to go for

Hoverfly Macro
I believe this is a hoverfly; its extra-large eyes look very similar to one, but at the same time I have seen many insects with large eyes like this. Many bugs have an almost 360-degree view so they can

Male Mallard Soaking Up The Sun
The sun was beating down, and I could imagine this mallard was feeling it. He walked along the shore for a bit, occasionally digging into his feathers. It edged closer to the water, and I remember really

Carburn Park is an island amongst several islands on the Bow River. There are about 6 or 7 islands all nearby. Carburn Park is the one that has pathways. There is even a little bridge that gets you there,

Testing out Nikon 180-600mm
I upgraded my Nikon 200-500mm lens to the Z Mount 180-600mm lens and took it to Carburn Park on the Bow River today to test it out. The lens is a monster, in a good way. It is all internal zoom, so it

Attempted Communication with a Squirrel
This squirrel was searching in my yard for one of its food stashes, and I was testing out a new zoom lens, the Nikon 180mm-600mm, so I wanted to try and get the squirrel to come a bit closer to me. I was

Monomad: Looking Down on Sandy Beach
These are some views overlooking Sandy Beach in Calgary. It is down in the valley alongside the Elbow River. There is a park here; it seems like it is primarily a dog park with some family picnic and BBQ

Perched Black-capped Chickadee
Finding a black-capped chickadee sitting relatively still is something I don't get to see very often. Most of the time I see them hopping from branch to branch, and it can be a test of patience trying

These were part of a line of USB sticks called Mimobots. Once I saw the Satar Wars-themed ones, I knew I needed them. I specifically picked characters who have helmets because their elongated heads looked

I was hanging over my balcony as I saw this dragonfly clinging to the wall nearby. It was tricky to get in there, but I think these turned out reasonably well for how shallow the depth of field was. It
