#ArtAdventCalendar Day 7 - I love the spunk and ambition of chickadees. I witness them stuffing two seeds in their mouth more often than not. Occasionally three. Once, I had one take off with a full almond 😳

Photo of a chickadee perched on a small pile of mixed seeds covering the surface of a wooden post. He has a sunflower seed (still in the shell) and a piece of peanut in his tiny little beak. Background is a forest and walking trail covered in snow, in soft focus.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 5 - What in carnation?! 😉

#Bloomscrolling #FloralFriday #FlowerFriday #MacroPhotography #FloralPhotography #CanadianPhotographer

Macro photo of a carnation in bloom against a black background, with a carnation bud underneath, just starting to show petals. The petals of both the flower and bud are a creamy white, speckled with red, and red along the edges.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 3 - Still one of the highlights of my summer--photographing a female (or juvenile) merlin in rural Alberta. This one let me get within about 6ft of her, and I have a couple close ups, but I love something about this one along the fence line.

Photo of a merlin perched on a fence post, looking over its shoulder. The background is in soft focus, but you can follow the leading line of the fence posts, running parallel to some trees, into the horizon of the image.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 2 - Nuthatches are one of my favourite birds. I love their little honk; how they can move upside down on tree trunks; and, I especially love their little tongue sticking out when they have a seed in their mouth! This male looks proud of the snack he's procured.

A female white-breasted nuthatch is perched on an angle on a lichen-covered tree-trunk. She has a sunflower seed--still in the shell--in her beak, and you can just see her little tongue sticking out. This is identifiable as a female, because the stripe on top of her head is grey to match her wing/back feathers (the stripe on males is dark, almost black).

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 1 - While the larch trees are stunning in golden yellow against the dark conifers, I was struck by the potential of this in #BlackAndWhite... and was not disappointed.

#MonochromeMonday #YEGPhotographer #BlackAndWhitePhotography #CanadianPhotographer #LandscapePhotography #OutdoorPhotography

Larch and conifer trees line a rocky mountainside, dividing the photo in half diagonally. The slope of the mountain in the foreground is light-coloured glacial rock deposit. The mountain slope in the background is also mostly glacial rock, but is in shadow, and yields a nice contrast to the foreground. The larch trees pop out from the conifers they stand alongside in the middle, as they are lighter-coloured and also lit by the sun.
