Tim Osborne Photography 🍁 @timosborne.ca · Dec 21
A re-introduction to my new followers. I'm Tim, a photographer in St. Albert, Alberta, Canada. You'll mostly find me posting wildlife shots here. But be warned, I may also sprinkle in some sports (Go #oilers) and the occasional political post. Look forward to connecting!

Me, looking at 2026 so far...

Why should Alberta stay in Canada? The reasons aren’t just economic or legal. I hope you will read and share my robust rebuttal to those trying to break up our country. And I hope you’ll respond. #cdnpoli #Alberta #ableg #abpoli #Canada #SenateofCanada

I'm going to give this Great Horned Owl the benefit of the doubt and say that he was sitting on a muskrat in an effort to keep it warm. I'm probably being a bit more generous than he deserves. #wildlife #birds #owls
A Great Horned Owl sitting in the snow, surrounded by tall blades of dry grass. While it can't be seen, there is a muskrat trapped below the owl who had just grabbed it from a nearby hole in the river ice.

Here is my most favourite photo of 2025. I’ve come to describe my images as capturing the moments between the moments. This image a pause in play, a small paw reaching up, tiny claws extended is absolute trust.
I find these moments tell the story best.

I think the way for artists to combat ai slop in 2026 is to lean hard into showing process & WIP. No ai user is going to generate days or weeks of work in progress images & post them because they want to entirely slip the work part.

Embrace the process & let everyone see it.

Number 2 on my top 10 images of 2025. It just resonates deeply In that moment it was just me and the badger it saw me when it came out of its den but it lay there back turned to me showing trust and I’m not sure we humans always deserve the trust of wildlife anymore #badger ##wildlifephotography

Number 6 on my top 10 favourite photos of 2025. I have photographed a lot of elk but this one stands out. I’m always looking for that visible vapour oof the breath in the cool mornings and to get it against a dark background with the bull facing the camera it was perfect! #wildlife #elk #bullelk

Number 7 on my top 10 favourite photos of 2025. This pair had young, which had yet to make an appearance. At least one parent always stood watch. In this instance one of the adults took a break to hunt and was just returning before sunrise. #burrowingowl #owl #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature

Day 24 of #ArtAdventCalendar: Wishing all a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and the happiest of New Years!
A Snowy Owl sitting on a wooden post. Her feathers give the appearance of a smile on her face. Or maybe, she truly is happy.

Yes I got the iconic bear on top of the falls when I visited Brooks Falls this summer but I also got this one. Below the falls a male had just devoured a salmon and had sat up and yawned, it looks like he’s yelling at the salmon

Happy Solstice! Not a fan of the dark, so always happy to reach the point where days start getting longer. Spring is just around the corner for those of us in the Northern hemisphere, so here's a happy chickadee for today's #ArtAdventCalendar
Digital painting of black-capped chickadee perched on a branch that is covered in fanciful white daisy-like flowers against a brilliant blue sky. The bird is facing right and has gray wings, white belly and head with black feathers across the top of its head and under its chin.
