A random beech on the Gaspé Peninsula, washed up driftwood, an unconsidered tied, and a couple looking for driftwood. Many happy accidents lined up perfectly to pull this image together. #photo #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #seascape #sunset #quebec #gaspé

Despite my ❤️ for 😴, I forced myself to get up before sunrise on Saturday for a fall hike in #FrontenacPark. It was a hard 4-hour hike, but it paid off with 4 🦫 sightings! This shot seemed particularly autumnal & Canadian 🍁 #eastcoastkin #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #beaver #canada #nikon

THREAD: Nature can be brutal. On Friday evening I was out in the canoe (looking for beavers) when I suddenly spotted a large bird glide through the sky just ahead of boat. Just as it disappeared into the trees, there was a sudden piercing squawk, followed by a series of pained shrieks. 1/

Look at this gorgeous white-tailed buck spotted this evening in Dunrobin, Ontario. Out-standing in his field! 😜 (Follow me for more dad jokes!) #eastcoastkin #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #deer #mammals #dunrobin #ottawa #myottawa #ontario #canada #nikon
