Merry Christmas, and all the best for 2026.

What's the old saying? If you can't beat them, join them. Time to play a bit with AI. At least my starting photo is mine.

I thought sunsets would be a good choice for my final post, so here are a few from the last 10 years or so. I want to thank everyone for your support over the years. This has definitely been a good run...far better than I expected when things got started. I will be closing down this page and my website on Dec 31, so I'll take this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and all the best tor 2026 and beyond.

Last chance, as all sales must be finalized by the end of 2025. I still have the following prints available (1 of each), if you're looking for a bargain. All other images are still available (various sizes and materials), but they are full price. For more information, contact me directly through messenger or email ([email protected]).

Birds, they do tend to be a popular photo subject, if only for the reason they tend to be plentiful. Over the last few years, I tried to get examples of several of the bird species that are common to the mid-island. This collection shows a few of my favourites.

Just a sample of the landscape photos I've taken around Vancouver Island over the last 15 years (+/-). It's easy to take for granted the beauty of our area, given that we see it on a regular basis. Time to stop and enjoy the scenery.

Typical winter morning, at least as far as nice mornings go. Mist over the field and new snow in the mountains. Need more days like this.

With all the water surrounding us, it's sometimes easy to forget the rivers, lakes and forest we're also blessed with. Here are some of my favourites that have something other than the saltwater as the main focus.

My final event is now in the books. Thank you to all who supported me over the years...it's been quite a ride. The attached list shows the prints I still have in inventory. If you'd like to make a purchase, or if you would like additional information (I realize the images are small), send me a direct message or email ([email protected]).

My final event is nearly here. Join us next weekend (Nov 21-23) for WinterFest Craft Fair, lots of very talented vendors, and a fun atmosphere.

Wood ducks enjoying some time in the sun at Buttertubs Marsh (Nov 10, 2025). Oh, there were a couple of mallards in the mix, just to add a bit of variety.

And now for something completely different, I went out with the camera this afternoon. Not a lot to see at Buttertubs Marsh, but it was a great afternoon for a nature walk. I did find this pair of wood ducks in amongst the mallards, and they did stay around long enough for me to get their photo. (Nov 10, 2025)
