It was wonderful to run into a moose on an evening walk earlier this week. The blood on his antlers is the result of him being in the process of shedding the velvet from them. #wildlife #moose #canada

Today is #WorldPhotographyDay. I used to segment myself and had different accounts for my different styles (sports, wildlife, etc.). The reality is, it's all me and all of it brings me joy in one way or another. So with that said, here are a few of my favourite photos taken over the past year.

A puffin standing on a grassy mound with white circles of light in background reflecting off of the ocean.

Still working on puffin edits! Sometimes it's nice to capture a bit of foreground rather than just the traditional wide open shots. #wildlife #birds #puffin

I recommend singing "Shake it Off" while looking at this photo for maximum effect. 😂 #wildlife #birds #puffin (If you zoom in, you can actually see the water drops flying off of her head).
