Monomad: Mistaya Canyon
Mistaya Canyon is located between Banff and Jasper in Alberta. It is in the middle of the Rockies, and the nice thing about this place is that it is enough out of the way that it will often be fairly quiet.

Monomad: Dragonfly Macro
I cherish the moments when I can get a dragonfly sitting still. It can be challenging and nearly impossible at certain times of day. These ones were caught in the morning. They are just waking up and are

Propeller Plane
Planes are much easier to track than birds; being so high up helps. I thought it was interesting to follow a propeller plane; its flight path seemed as smooth as a jet's might have been. It was flying

Calgary Zoo Animals
I always found the zoo was a great place, as many do, to practice photography. It can take quite a bit of patience in the wild to hope to encounter animals and to be off the beaten path for a while hoping

Monomad: Weaselhead Flats Forest
I found myself pulled into a forest; it was like the path became longer and longer, and I didn't want to turn back. I walked and walked until I was surrounded by trees, and the road back seemed even longer

Sunset Through A Fence
I really liked what I was seeing looking through this fence as the sun started its daily decent down toward the horizon. It created a perfect backdrop for the fencing and various plant life in front of

Jackrabbit doing some grooming
This jackrabbit was taking some time out from a hot day. Sitting partly in the shade, he didn't seem to notice me at all as he groomed himself for a while. Just a nice break from hopping around looking

Cherub Statue and Different Versions
These are all pictures of the same statue taken at different times, a year or 2 apart. I think they serve as a great example of how you can get a completely different viewpoint of the same subject and

Macro Photography Hoverfly and Spider
Flowers are a good place to look for the various small creatures of the earth. It seems like they are an important hangout spot. Perhaps for nectar or pollen, or maybe even just to hide and lie in wait

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.

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

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

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
