With a current heat warning in place for parts of BC - it felt like a good time to share something a little cooler!

Such a wealth of textures and patterns in the lavender fields of Provence

A few recent encounters in Alberta

The scent of lavender, buzzing bees and the lines, colours and textures of Provence. This image was shot after sunset with the last glow of the light in the sky. #provence #lavender

Stormy skies above this beautiful heart shaped tree in the lavender fields of Provence whilst scouting for an upcoming workshop. #lavenderfields

Met this handsome fellow whilst journeying home from Waterton recently. #raven

Ferns in the mid afternoon

I'd love to understand the relationships in this image!

A few details from the coast

Just returned from leading a workshop in beautiful Haida Gwaii. The beauty of this archipelago is directly linked to the stories of its people and the fluidity of boundaries between people and place. #haidagwaii

One of my favourite mountains and some very wet and cold feet for this one

Morning light with a little fog

Late afternoon light with this big guy #moose #wildlifephotography

Some textures from the coast recently #coastalscenes #intimatescenes #coastalphotography

Immense power!

A misty morning in the forest - doing my best to simplify some complex scenes. #forestphotography #woodlandphotography #BC #Canada

Nothing better than escaping to the mountains. Happy Friday everyone!

Face to face with a raven as I lay on my belly in the snow. #raven

A little bit of mood from Scotland

The epic majesty of Antarctica

International day of forests Some words from Dr. Suzanne Simard: "Ecosystems are so similar to human societies—they’re built on relationships. The stronger those are, the more resilient the system." #internationaldayofforests #drsuzannesimard

Morning light breaks through the mist rising on the bog following a few days of intense rainfall

False Hellebore - One of my favourites with its dark green colour and fleshy leaves.

Looking forward to the snow melting and Spring evenings like this one. #landscapephotography #naturephotography

I find it so interesting, the notion of 'there's nothing to shoot'. The idea that 'classic' conditions a location is known for are not present. In my experience, there's always something to shoot and the lack of classic conditions may cause you to search out and find unexpected beauty.

Rock sculpted by water and with some nice frost textures to boot. No tripod for this one, just a hand-held exposure bracket to deal with the dynamic range. #naturephotography #landscapephotography

Not much beats the solitude of waiting for the sun to crest over the horizon in this other worldly landscape. #landscapephotography #naturephotography #nikon #nikonambassador

The always interesting graphic designs of methane bubbles to be found here. I always enjoy searching out the different shapes. #methanebubbles #canadianrockies

In celebration of World Whale Day: An image of Humbpack in Antarctica displaying its' fluke before a deeper dive. Their lives can span between 40 and 100 years! #worldwhaleday

Three's a crowd!

Enjoying the simplicity of snow and ice cracks #naturephotography #landscapephotography #detailsinnature

It was great to meet Jen Walton, the founder of @girlswhochase.com at a conference this weekend. Their Spring training is open to everyone.

I don't think anyone likes wildfire smoke, but on this morning, it filtered the morning sunlight beautifully. #photography #landscapephotography #naturephotography #wildfiresmoke

Had to share an image of my best buddy and sidekick Jack. He's the most incredible and intelligent companion. He literally has my back (sits with his back against mine when I'm out shooting). #alaskanmalamute #bestfriend #dogphotography

The colour of the water here is so beautiful, especially in contrast to the colour of the aspen leaves

ZIMNÍ LINIE... mám rád, když krajinu Krušných hor pokryje sníh a vše se schová do husté mrazivé mlhy 🇨🇿 #trees #bnwphotography #bnw #bw #landscape #winter #bluesky #minimalism

A passing, backlit rain squall behind a favourite tree in Scotland #scotland #landscapephotography #naturephotography

From a hike into the alpine on a windy day. I couldn't focus stack this one as I would have liked to so I did a dark edit instead. #intimatescene #naturephotography

Very happy to have been informed my image "Fishing for Breakfast" is to be included in the British Wildlife Photography Awards Collection 13 book. Will have to wait till March to see if I've won or been commended but just getting in the book is incredible. #BWPA 📷📷📷

Standing outside my house and watching the afternoon light filter through the mist in the trees. #naturephotography #landscapephotography

Alberta’s Minister in charge of wildlife owns this company…

-28 and those frost flowers were beautiful. This one needed to be focus stacked so that I could achieve front to back focus.
