Canada Day in Small Town Alberta

I made the decision to be in small town Alberta for Canada Day, and it turned out to be the best decision ever. After a wonderful parade, the annual box car derby got underway for pre-school to Grade 2 aged boys and girls who had hand-made their race cars with their parents. Every child should have the opportunity to spend at least one Canada Day in Cremona, Alberta.

Atlantic Puffins

I was at the right place at the right time to photograph Atlantic Puffins near Elliston, Newfoundland – though capturing iconic images of the tiny birds proved to be the most challenging shoot of my cross-Canada trip. I persevered.

4-H Achievement Day

I was fortunate one sunny summer day to happen upon the Hardwood Lands 4H Project Club Achievement Day at the Hardwood Lands Community Centre in central Nova Scotia. The 4Hers were dressed in white as they showed their dairy calves, rabbits, sheep and goats. The community event offered many opportunities to capture wonderful images.

Canadian Shield

The Canadian Shield is a significant part of Canadian geography, and its central features of rock, water and trees offered many, many magical moments to capture breathtaking images.

Clam Digging in Nova Scotia

What delight it was to get in on a family clam digging session in the Maritimes. Tom and Micheline Beaton who live on the Bay of Fundy in central Nova Scotia were hosting their son Jeremy and his wife Tracy (and grandkids Conor and Kailyn) for a weekend, and clam digging was the Saturday activity. The endless mucky beach under a hot summer sun offered the perfect canvas to photograph the eager diggers in search of fresh clams.

Canada Geese on Hecla Island

If Hecla Island on the northwest side of Lake Winnipeg hasn’t been declared the Canada goose capital of Canada, it should be. I’ve never seen so many Canada Geese in my life – including one pair with 22 goslings. I was fortunate to stay on the Island one night, and was able to take advantage of the beautiful light at sunset and sunrise.

Lake O’Hara – in YoHo National Park, B.C.

I’d heard from photographers of an interesting phenomenon involving a unique lighting situation concerning small trees on a tiny Island on Lake O’Hara in YoHo National Park, B.C. In the fall, if there is no ground fog, the first rays of sun catch the trees on the island, but not the surrounding lake or forest. I had to see for myself. Magically, it played out as the story-tellers relayed it, and I captured it as it unfolded.

Niagara Falls

There would be no selfies for me at Niagara Falls, Ontario. Instead my goal was to capture images I’d never seen before. I spent the entire day examining the falls from every possible angle. At 51 metres (167 feet), the falls aren’t the deepest in North America, but at six million cubic feet per minute, they have the highest flow rate of any falls on the continent. I was especially enamoured with cormorants who swooped into the falls.

Golden Pond

In early May, I had camped for the night at Vanderhoof, B.C. and I was awakened about 4 a.m. when the C02 monitor misfired in my camper van. Being wide awake, and with the sun rising in the east, I decided to head down the road. Within a few moments, I passed by a golden pond with an array of special effects – including heavy ground fog, ducks enjoying a morning swim, a beautiful stand of trees in a nearby forest and a rising sun backlighting the entire scene. It was pure magic, and the images I captured are among my favourites from my cross-Canada trip.

Parliament – Under Construction

I wasn’t sure what would catch my eye in Ottawa, but once on Capital Hill, the answer was obvious. There were cranes in the air pointing in every direction. The Government of Canada website notes that current construction is a “multi-decade strategy to renew the Parliament Precinct by addressing the deteriorated state of Canada’s 19th-century building.”

Water Abstractions

I was aboard the Northern Adventure at the B.C. Ferries’ dock at Skidegate Landing, Haida Gwaii, and noticed interesting abstractions on the water surface. While photographing the water art, a few pigeon guillemots started swooping into my camera frame – adding not just themselves but their reflections to the already dynamic images.

Halifax Tall Ships Festival 2017

In the Maritimes, you'll find tall ships festivals rather than the rodeos of the West. They come with their own cultural music and events: buskers, fireworks, culinary events and concerts. I caught the Rendez-vous 2017 Tall Ships Regatta in Halifax – one leg of an international race that includes 25 ships and covers 10,000 nautical miles and brings sailors from distant locales such as Germany, Finland, Latvia, and Vanuatu in the South Pacific. “It’s just like Pirates of the Caribbean,” one onlooker quipped. Though the day started sunny, a thick fog blew into town which created simply amazing atmospheric conditions for catching some great images. And, the Halifax Waterfront includes a large sculpture known as “The Wave” – a magnet for children looking for a climbing challenge.

Humpback Whales in Action

Humpback whales feed in the Atlantic near St. Vincent, Newfoundland. Humpbacks can reach 16 metres (52.5 feet) in length and 36,287 kilograms (80,000 pounds) in weight, and they feed on krill and small fish. Once hunted to near extinction, stocks have partially recovered to a population worldwide of about 80,000. They migrate up to 25,750 kilometres (16,000 miles) to tropical waters in the winter to breed and give birth, and where they fast for months while they live off their fat reserves.

Writing on Stone Provincial Park

Aboriginal people referred to what is now known as Writing on Stone Provincial Park in southern Alberta as Aisinai'pi – a clay, badland area filled with a spectacular collection of rock outcrops, hoodoos, cliffs and coulees.
