Wow! I haven't been very good about adding content to my blog lately. I blame it on the pandemic and lousy weather and whatever else I can do to avoid admitting that I've been lazy. I did manage to get out and photograph some of our coastal birds last month. Three of my favourites -…Read more Nova Scotia Seabirds

Here's a slide show I recently put together for a project I was working on. My wife Kathy plays the flute accompaniment. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/Oq5hc6L5XLI  

During the COVID-19 lockdown I've been browsing through old files, searching for forgotten gems. In the spring of 2016 a pair of Blue Jays made a nest a few meters from my deck so I was able to watch as they raised a brood of 5 chicks. I was able to get up close and…Read more Blue Jay Babies

I'm not one for taking photographs in miserable weather so my winter images usually have blue sky and sunshine. Occasionally, I'll venture out on an overcast day to capture some moody scenes. Here's a selection of my favourite photos from the past few weeks of wandering around my corner of the province with my camera.…Read more Nova Scotia Winter Scenes

I received a text from my friend Kevin Hall the other day: "Full moon setting tomorrow over Mahone Bay." I knew that this meant another Stupid O'Clock wake up call but it was too tempting to resist. In spite of freezing temperatures and a soaking wet foot it was worth it. It was especially exciting…Read more Mahone Bay Moonset

There's a picturesque little brook beside the BLT Rail Trail in Upper Tantallon. It's a beautiful place to hike, especially if you enjoy the sound of running water. I love the way the water flows around the rocks. I took some slow shutter speed images to accentuate the action - it creates nice abstract patterns…Read more Fox Hollow Brook

My friend Gordon asked me if I was interested in photographing his horse Layla, a Friesian mare. It took me about a nanosecond to say YES! Like all supermodels, she's gorgeous and she knows it. She was quite excited to frolic in the freshly fallen snow in the paddock. It's a bit intimidating when 1000+…Read more Black Beauty

Getting up at a ridiculous hour to shoot a sunrise is not for the faint of heart. A few years ago I overheard one of our photo club members refer to it as "Stupid O'Clock" and I immediately stole it as part of my photographer's lexicon. It's not quite as stupid in January as it…Read more Stupid O’Clock

Here are a few random winter scenes I've captured over the past couple of weeks. D'Aubin's Cove is adjacent to world famous Peggy's Cove. Smelt Brook is a lovely little brook that empties into St. Margaret's Bay. It's a fun place to capture slow shutter speed images of moving water. Enjoy! All photos on this…Read more Winter Scenes – 2019

Duncan's Cove is located at the mouth of Halifax Harbour, about a 30 minute drive from the city. A couple of weeks ago my friend Kevin and I hiked the Duncan's Cove Trail so we could capture some wave action. It was chilly but there was an offshore breeze that day so we were protected…Read more Duncan’s Cove
