Photograph of a pasture with a split rail fence through it, and a forest as the background. Everything is coated in ice from a recent ice storm.

These wee House Wrens truly are the chihuahuas of the bird world. (Nothing like a stormy winter's day to work on the thousands of leftover summer images. 🤣)

Photo of a House Wren sitting on a branch. Its back is to the camera but it is looking back at the photographer.

Remember the feeling of the sun on your face? I love the way photography allows us to immortalize these wee moments in time.

I tend to not go with black and white for many of my images... but sometimes Ma Nature insists. #Nikon #Nature #Winter #Water #Art #Manitoulin #Landscapes
Winter image of a fast flowing stream cascading over rocks and surrounded by snow and ice.

Slow shutter speed photograph of waves rolling in to shore and smashing on rocks. It is cold enough that the water splashes are freezing on the background rocks.

So I might have got a bit of a soaker taking this shot.🥶🤣

Photograph taken while standing in a shallow river. In the foreground water is rushing around snow and ice covered boulders. In the background is Manitoulin Island's semi-frozen iconic Bridal Veil waterfalls.

Bridal Veil Falls, Manitoulin Island. Can't remember the last time I saw such a low water flow during the autumn "rainy season".
#Nikon #Landscapes #Waterfalls #Manitoulin #Scenic #Art
Photograph of Bridal Veil Falls located on Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada. A slightly long shutter speed allowed for a creamy feel to the falling water, and a bright red maple leaf features prominently on a rock in the foreground.

Under sombre skies.
#Nikon #Sunsets #Art #Nature #Water #Rocks #Photography #Manitoulin #Storms
Photograph of rocks on a sandy beach. The sand is undisturbed by human footprints. Waves are rolling in and sombre skies, with just a slice of colourful sunset, are overseeing the image.

Found a little patch of earth stars (Geastrum sp.) today. Time in the forest never fails to yield something special...

Some scenes are really challenging to capture. Sunsets, just at the moment of near darkness, fall into that category. 😂
#Nikon #Sunsets #Nature #Art #Photography #Manitoulin
Image of a sunset. It is very dark and moody with a lone birch tree standing out against the orange textured sky.

I miss those long-ago warm days of autumn.😆

Photograph of a Common Yellowthroat sitting in a patch of perennial sow thistle flowers. The colour of the flowers beautifully compliments the yellow throat of the wee warbler.

Coming soon, to a neighbourhood near you. Winter. Who knew cold could come in so many textures?

That clichéd drop of water falling from a loon's bill.... 😆

I thought I was watching the chickadees picking seeds off the weeds. Turns out they were getting some late season aphid protein. #Nikon #Birds #Nature #Wildlife #Photography #Manitoulin #Chickadees #BlackcappedChickadee
