  1. Northern Cardinal

    A short morning walk slows down as birdsong leads to a Northern Cardinal hidden in spring leaves.

  2. On Labour Day, Bhavna and I took a late afternoon walk around Hobler Park. It was between 4:30 and 5:30 PM, and the sky was a soft, muted grey, with the kind of overcast sky that made everything feel quieter. The air was cool, hinting at the approach of autumn, but still held onto the last threads of summer’s warmth.

    As we wandered the trails, I noticed the tall American Elm trees swaying gently in the breeze. Golden patches of Common Wrinkle-leaved Goldenrod dotted the path, their yellow blooms glowing against the greenery. We passed a few Field Thistles, their spiky purple flowers standing proudly. Hobler Park felt peaceful, tucked between farms, with its rolling hills and scattered trees. It’s always a nice escape, and on that day, it was just the quiet reset we needed to start the week ahead.

    The park felt peaceful in the late afternoon, the perfect way to unwind. I love these moments with Bhavna—simple walks where we talk about everything and nothing, surrounded by nature’s beauty. Hobler Park is especially lovely in this golden hour.

  3. Variable Dancer

    Today (June 12), I visited the stormwater retention pond near the Audi dealership on Route 206. It's a beautiful spot that has evolved into a thriving natural habitat, filled with marsh plants like Broad-leaved Cattail. This time, I was on a mission to photograph dragonflies and damselflies.

    Lately, I’ve felt a need to shift my focus from birds to other subjects. My trusty Fujinon XF150-600mmF5.6-8 R LM OIS WR lens has been my constant companion, and I wondered what else I could capture [...]

  4. Eastern Bluebird (Sialia sialis)

    I was at the Montgomery Township municipal complex for the farmers’ market and just as I got out of the car I heard the song of the Eastern Bluebird. The X-T3 and XF150-600mmF5.6-8 R LM OIS WR were still in the car from the morning walk around Charles H. Rogers Wildlife Refuge. The Eastern Bluebirds…

  5. Eastern Bluebird (Sialia sialis)

    I was at the Montgomery Township municipal complex for the farmers’ market and just as I got out of the car I heard the song of the Eastern Bluebird. The X-T3 and XF150-600mmF5.6-8 R LM OIS WR were still in the car from the morning walk around Charles H. Rogers Wildlife Refuge.

    The Eastern Bluebirds favoured a few of the trees near the corner of a fenced-in area at the southern end of the parking lot. I didn’t notice it at first but the fence is the boundary for what appears to be a [...]
