I swear I see more intelligence in the eyes of this chicken than I’ve seen in some people lately!

Big tide country! Fishing boat off Parrsboro Nova Scotia. The tidal flow in the deep, 5-kilometre-wide channel equals the combined flow of all the rivers and streams on Earth, estimated at about 4 cubic kilometres per hour.

Female Northern Cardinal It’s true! The male Y chromosome took all the red color, leaving only tiny crumbs for mama!

Great Blue Heron #4 So, my top 3 performing pics (on likes) are all heron pics, and I'm definitely getting the hint. This group likes herons! Here's another. If you guys like this one too, I'll try to follow up with more! #birds #nature #photography #wildlife #heron

Bald eagle slaking it's thirst. Seems it might have a drinking problem with all that dribbling going on! LMAO I wonder if lips 💋 might be helpful in this situation? 🤣 #birds #nature #eagle #wildlife #photography

Atlantic Fury My favourite wave pic, taken during a storm blowing on the south shore of #novascotia, December 2020. 4-5 meter swells pounded the rocks for hours. This was taken at a safe distance using a telephoto lens. #photography #atlantic #storm

My apologies for the poor image quality of this pic, but I'm posting it as evidence, to debunk the myth that herons look like dinosaurs! Rubbish! I've never heard of anything so ridiculous! #birds #heron #nature #novascotia

“A Bee’s Little Buddy” Here’s a pic to give you a new perspective on things! Look at the bee, then find his little friend below. Now imagine yourself the size of the wee fly, looking up at the bee! #photography #nature #bees #macrophotography

So if you follow me you may notice I like to get in tight when I shoot. There’s alot of beauty in birds, even in the simple green plumage on this mallard. You just need to look closely sometimes. #birds #wildlife

This foxy fellow was spotted in a farmer’s field, and when I stopped to try to get a shot, he came out to the road and sat for a photo shoot! I’m thinking someone must be feeding him as he was so calm and relaxed, and then began licking his chops like he expected a treat! #wildlife #redfox #fox

Whitetail doe and fawn. Mom is showing baby how to navigate around water. The fawn is only a few weeks old, as evidenced by its spots. #deer #whitetail #novascotia #wildlife

We have a very healthy bald eagle population in #novascotia and I have photographed them often. They never appear happy to see me! Grumpy #birds 😆

Yellow-rumped warbler. It was a very hot day when I shot this. The stump was in the shade, and cool. And cool is what this bird is getting, hugging the stump closely. I’ve photographed squirrels doing this exact behaviour in hot weather too! #birds
