Hubby, daddy, lawyer, photographer. This account is primarily filled with wildlife and nature photography by yours truly, with maybe a bit of snark here and there. If this is your vibe, welcome aboard!

Hello to everyone who recently followed along! (and also to those who've been here a while) I'm Steve and I'm a hobbyist wildlife photographer in eastern Canada. I post a new wildlife photo every day. I hope you enjoy the photos, and don't be shy to engage if you see something you like!
Brrrr! I get cold just looking at this Canadian Beaver swimming around in the frozen water.

Great Shearwater running down the backside of a rolling wave to pick up enough speed to get airborne. From my #pelagic birding tour in the #BayofFundy.

This is one of only two usable photos I managed to get of an Atlantic Puffin on my #pelagic birding tour in the #BayofFundy earlier this fall.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

Interesting. Yours is the first positive review I've heard or read about this one. Must be the knitted sock. :)

I found this Savannah Sparrow looking for some seeds in the dead brush on a bitterly cold winter afternoon.

I'm just a hobbyist photographer, but I do contribute to a number of stock photo agencies. And as a lawyer, my favourite stock photo sale is one of the Supreme Court of Canada building illustrating an article in the Canadian Bar Association's national magazine.

That's my photo! How cool is that?? (Although I do hope the original user bought a copy from one of the stock photo agencies I work with and didn't just lift it from my social media feed.)

Joining in the #BirdOfTheDay fun this morning. The theme today is #swans.

I have had exactly one encounter with wild swans. In 2018 a wayward pair of Mute Swans somehow got turned around and found themselves in southern New Brunswick for a few days. I found them on a beautiful morning.

Close-up views of a North American Porcupine coming and going. You don't want to grab that tiger by the tail!

This is the last photo in the series from my #pelagic birding tour in the #BayofFundy of a Parasitic Jaeger chasing a Common Tern. It was exciting to watch!
