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

Dumping Day is the day fishers in Areas 33 & 34 (Nova Scotia's South Shore) place their lobster traps in the water. This year it was delayed for 24 hours due to high winds and rough seas but they got the go ahead to leave at 7:00 am on November 26. It was chilly at…Read more Lobster Season Begins

There are hundreds (thousands?) of freshwater lakes in Nova Scotia. We're fortunate to live on one of them - Frederick Lake in Hubley. There's a pair of Common Loons that breed here every summer. Most years they have at least one chick, sometimes two. This was a two-chick summer. I was able to get a…Read more Loon Family Album

We recently visited Gros More National Park in our neighbouring province of Newfoundland and Labrador. If you love rugged landscapes you need to add it to your bucket list! While you're there, make sure you take the Western Brook Pond boat tour. It's worth the 3km hike to get to the dock! Here are a…Read more Western Brook Pond, Newfoundland & Labrador
