- Gathered on a rocky beach a small cluster of canada geese ready themselves for the next leg of their journey home in a small beach party. Spring is heralded in Nova Scotia by the Honk-A-Hink of the V shaped sketches across the sky of the returning geese.
- The Peregrine, speed incarnate, rests on a rocky crag overlooking the rolling ocean. Reaching speeds of 440 kph he is beyond limits. This cheetah of the sky was brought back from the brink of extinction, the only limit it was feared it might not overcome. Yet in one of mankind's greatest environmental success stories, the fastest animal alive was brought back from the precipice, from a point where no eggs could be found in the wild to the point they now flourish across North America.

- Stretching, as far as possible, the scent of golden hay filling his nostrils, he tears off more stalks. Tilted and tangled, the ancient fence prevents his wandering into the neighbour's pasture; but not his enjoying the fall harvest left untended. The other side of the fence may be beyond his reach, but never his grasp and heaven's in the trying.

- Fiery orange blends with cool shades of blue on a frosty Tequila Sunrise morning. Frost crystals sparkle on grasses bent under a late spring snow as the morning sun warms the marsh. A silent, magical moment, lasting but a few seconds transpires as a trio of ducks appear out of the cool mists hanging over the pond's waters. Gentle ripples flee before them teasing the burning reflections of the rising sun - a new morning is born.

- The clatter of antler on antler drifts through the still air. Morning mists fade across the high meadow revealing the challenger as he charges again, wrestling with all his might to unseat the patriarch of the mountainside. Muscles ripple along mighty shoulders and blasts of steam escape their nostrils, branches snap like straw and the earth trembles with the pounding of hooves. Much is at stake in this battle of giants.

- Heavy paws hang comfortably as the northern forest's great cat, a majestic lynx basks in the golden sun. The morning light warms his high vantage point midst the pine branches. These huge paws act like snowshoes on the snow during the winter so this handsome cat can move quickly and freely across the drifts. Silent and swift this ghost of the forest is at home both midst the ferns and in the swaying canopy.

- WILDERNESS MAGIC was manifest when the haunting call of this loon pierced dusk's waning light. Gliding across the lake*s surface her mournful wail declares the true spirit of the wilderness. Silent ripples march outward on the still water, ebony lines on a glassy blue surface. The mirrored surface lies disturbed as she paddles * searching. Mother to a pair of moose-gray chicks, she calls out. Her soft spectral voice luring the last baby from the nest midst the reeds. A true water bird, this will be the last time the baby rests on land until it one day builds it*s nest to complete nature*s circle.
- Perched atop a tattered bulrush, the Redwing Blackbird watches carefully over his territory on the verge of a marshy pond. His calls carrying over the waters, sparkling as if diamonds were cast across their surface. Nearby his mate pauses for but a moment as she flits from bulrush to bulrush gathering mayflies to feed their hungry brood.

- The black bear cub peers cautiously from the safety of the tree trunk he scampered up. There's a magical quality in his blinking eyes. So tender and curious yet so wild and powerful. They can slip silently through the branch strewn forest with not a sound and only a fleeting glance to claim.
- Spending only a few months on land each year to raise its young, the Atlantic Puffin is a true seabird. They choose rugged, rocky islands off our maritime coasts, their remoteness offering a secure nesting site. There, great colonies of thousands can be seen on the steep cliffsides, courting, sparring and taking off to join the circling throng as they fly to out sea to return with a meal for their brood.

- Rat-a-tat-tat rings through the Maritime forest. This familiar sound announces the presence of the downy woodpecker, one of Nova Scotia's forest's more handsome residents.
This owl loves to hang out watching the river. Will a small animal wonder down to drink some water? Patients is a virtue. Good things come to those who wait.
I love the fall colors and the lighting in this image. This would be great for the fall theme during Thanksgiving week.
- Little urban dwellers showing off for the artist.
Desperate, driven by the will to survive; this northern wanderer rests. Rabid storms have entombed the arctic tundra hiding her prey deep beneath the snow. The frozen landscape offered her no reprieve.
Ravaged by hunger and pressed by storms she flew nearly a thousand miles southward, toward a land instinct knew existed. A land of plenty, where the ocean's moderating effects free the landscape of ice and snow, offering life and hope. Midst the barrens of the Maritime coast she rests, camouflaged, transfigured into a small boulder, one of the thousands that dot the Peggy's Cove barrens. White rocks rest in a red tide of Labrador tea, and here she finds rest, warmth and food.
- A quiet stroll one May in the woods, enjoying the sounds, sights and scents of spring. Birds singing and fresh buds bursting all around, fiddlehead ferns unfurling. Then a surprise ... a pair of baby rabbits, so tiny and so still they could easily have been passed by. The muted brown of their tassled fur a blend with the surrounding grasses and the telltale white flash marks the forehead of the baby snowshoe hare.

- Gulls cry overhead as we walk about on the wharf enjoying the smell of salt on the gentle sea breeze. The sound of broken shells crunching under foot mingles with the soft swishing of waves against the nearby boats as they rise and fall on the swells. A fisherman has stowed his gear here, its bright colors contrasting with the browns and greys of weather worn timbers.
- Golden rays dance amongst the beach grass as another day of surfing comes to its sweet end. A day of the joy of riding and bending to nature's power and riding the graceful waves. the taste of salty water still dripping down their faces and muscles aching from pushing to the limits.
- MORNING MISTS part as the guardians of the lake slip silently across the glassy waters. Reflections flash across the mirrored surface in their passing by. Their mournful cry pierces the calm of early dawn just as the sun banishes the mists of night. The loon graces our wilderness lakes with its haunting elegance.
- Splintering the still air with his bugling call, the Guardian stands, ever watchful, ever vigilant. As his breath drifts softly in foggy wisps in the morning's young hours, it seems all is at peace. His herd graces restfully under his watchful gaze. Even so, his keen sense of smell detects intruders. Their footfalls silent and dangerously close, despite the frosty grasses underneath. In an instant he will be fierce and terrible, as he charges to confront them, to the aid of his clan, his mighty rack of antlers more menacing than any sword blade. 6 foot powerful spikes wielded with the full anger of an 800 pound elk bearing down on them ... wolves beware!
