Red-Backed Jumping Spider Portrait Jumping spiders like this female red-backed jumping spider are my favourite subjects in macro photography. Their inquisitive, friendly nature is always fun to capture. #macro #macrophotography #spiders #photography #portrait #wildlife #vancouverisland

Stumbled upon this Pacific Treefrog while gardening in the yard and got to test out my new sigma macro lens. #wildlife #wildlifephotography #macro #vancouverisland

Black Tailed Deer. I was exploring Quadra Island's Rebecca Spit at sunrise a couple years ago and was photographing woodpeckers when two black tailed deer walked out of the forest only a few feet away. This photo was taken as the deer noticed me. #wildlifephotography #nature #photography #canada

Tomorrow marks my final shift as a student nurse. The last four years have been some of the most challenging of my life, however I've also had so many incredible opportunities to meet and work alongside some amazing people. I can't wait to see what the next chapter holds. #Nurse #FutureRN #Grad

An early morning in Qualicum Beach full of jumping seals, warm sunlight, and a chill breeze in the air. #Photography #nature #landscape #wildlife #landscapephotography #wildlifephotography #vancouverisland #canada

Black-Tailed Deer. The Colombian black-tailed deer is the only species of deer found on Vancouver Island and are often found in and around urban areas. This particular deer was photographed near a busy road in Campbell River. #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #portrait #vancouverisland

Sunny Morning in the Garden. There's nothing like enjoying a warm cup of coffee while taking photos of all the visiting wildlife, such as this sparrow. #photography #wildlifephotography #birds #nature #portrait

I'm starting to see the first big signs of Spring's arrival here on Vancouver Island - flowers and insects. The feeling of sunlight on the face and the sound of birds in the morning is a nice addition too. #photography #nature #macro #macrophotography #wildlifephotography #spring #vancouverisland

To Poilievre's friends. Lay off Carney's kid. Stop being a bunch of bullies and jerks. It's not okay.

American Crow. I never tire of photographing these interesting birds. Although common throughout North America, their intelligence and curiosity is always entertaining to watch through my lens. #photography #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #birds #birdphotography #vancouverisland

Whiskey Jack. One of our favourite places to go for a hike is the many nearby trails of Forbidden Plateau, and we often come across these curious birds who never say no to a snack. #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #birds #nature #naturephotography #Vancouverisland #canada

Feeling hopeful!

Shinrin-Yoku. We've had a return of rainy weather here on the east coast of Vancouver Island and it has made for some beautiful walks through the rainforest. So many beautiful sights if you only stop to look around. #photography #nature #naturephotography #macrophotography #forest #canon #sigma

February's Full Moon. Been lots happening recently with the moon - namely the recent landing of the Blue Ghost lander and the recent attempt by the Athena lander team. #photography #astrophotography #moon #fullmoon #HDRphotography #astronomy #rasc #vancouverisland #canada

Humpback whale πŸ‹ Just off the tip of quadra island. Just the most magical moment to witness the power of such a massive creatures acrobatics . #pacificwestcoast #quadraisland #photography #wildlife #ocean #humpbackwhale

Anna’s Hummingbird. I got lucky with the light when photographing this hummingbird - the feathers of its neck caught the early spring sun and created a beautiful display of colour. #photography #wildlifephotography #birds #birdphotography #nature #naturephotgraphy #portrait #canon

Wow. This is amazing to see.

Had a great afternoon walk in the forest with my better half 😊

Tula and Casper. A little departure from my usual wildlife stuff, but these two are worth it. #photography #pets #petphotography #dogs #animals #portraits #blackandwhite #canon #sigma #vancouverisland #canada

A portrait of a stellar jay. Came across this beautiful stellar jay during an autumn hike up in the alpine. The fall colours of the foliage provided such a pleasant background. #photography #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #birds #birdphotography #nature #portrait #vancouverisland #canada
