Daddy Long Legs is an insect that looks like a spider. It is walking on the surface of a flower.

Macro is my favourite type of photography. It invites us into a world we wouldn’t see. The daddy long legs is not a predator but it looks like one. It is a contrast with the vibrant colours of the flower.

Great Blue Heron Posing — like a boss

The Great Blue Heron was my a white whale for awhile. I wanted to get a good photo of one for awhile. I knew there was one in the Inglewood bird sanctuary and after many visits I caught him.

Northern Flicker taking flight

This is one of my favourite images. It’s a Northern Flicker in flight but the wings are flapping so quickly it created a surreal effect.

This Northern Flicker was pictured in the Spring of 2016 at the Inglewood bird sanctuary. I was trying to imitate a 1991 picture named Woodpecker Action by Benjamin Pöntinen.
