Miss Marla's Feeling For Snow
This is a photo of my beautiful dog Marla the Magnificent. Also known as Marla the Monster depending on what side of the cage she got out of that morning. The most important thing you need to know is she is Marla the Malinois.

The Hunt for Turtles
So, here is this challenge to capture the wild, and what do I have? Ducks… lots and lots of ducks. Don’t get me wrong, I like taking pictures of ducks. There is nothing wrong with some great duck prints, but I wanted something more. I live in a city, it is not a huge city, but its still city enough that you have to look for wildlife. There are some beautiful bike paths that follow a creek and within that little micro bubble of nature there are critters a plenty to take pictures of. I wanted something interesting, something cool… and that is when I saw the turtles.

Juvenile Delinquents
Meet a few of my new class of 2021. Now lets see if I can remember who is who. From left to right, you have first at the back ‘Bill Shankly’, then ‘Vocal’ the first one born this year, then ‘Frank Butcher’, followed by ‘Monkey’, then ‘Hodor’ and last but not least ‘Smokey’.

The Wild Adventures of Winston & Dad
This is a photo of me (a very proud dog dad) having a relaxing day with my boy Winston (the pup). The challenge says capture the wild which is ironic cause this photo was taken in a studio set but hey you got plants in the background so close enough.

On the Land and in the Sea
I captured this snake in the yard. The reason this find was memorable is that I was out playing with my nephew when we found it. We were not sure if it was alive or not. We kept an eye on it. In fact, we kept an eye on it for a couple of days. We were pretty sure it was dead, but we watched anyway. It made for such a nice picture with the fall colors contrasting with its pale body. That is the best of the images I have captured.

Tiger Tongue
I captured this picture on my iPhone. It came out really nice. Can you guess where the shot was taken? This photo was taken at the Philadelphia Zoo!! I was so excited to see the tiger. And just to capture it the way I did I shocked myself. iPhones take really good pictures if you can catch it at the right angle.

There Once Was An Ugly Duckling
I should start this with an apology; there is no such thing as an ugly duckling. The title is not strictly clickbait more word association. Most people remember the song associated with the 18th Century Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale, it just plays naturally in your head anytime you see ducklings in the wild. For me my earliest memory is connected to Disney’s 1939 Silly Symphony classic ‘The Ugly Duckling’. This is definitely worth watching again as it is Disney at its most artistic, timeless and beautiful. Long before the commercial beast we know today. Also every troop of ducklings has that one individual slightly slower trailing behind. The odd one out.

Woodland Cries
How do you know if a fawn has been abandoned by its mother? Just last summer, my partner and I were hiking on a lesser-known trail in the Black Hills National Forest. We were just driving through on one of our cross country adventures when we stumbled upon the trailhead and decided to take the chance to stretch our legs.

In the Woods
Capturing the wild means to capture nature and all its glory. That's a big challenge. On the one hand, you don't want to disturb the delicate balance by getting too close, but on the other, you can't help but to admire such raw, powerful beauty. I'm not a great photographer, but I have taken up this task with all of my heart. Bear with me my fellow readers, for I shall tell you my story.

Boats, Bandits and Birdseed
Let me start this off by saying that I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing when it comes to photography and even less about photo editing. I just love doing it. One would think that after doing this hobby for over a couple years now that I would know something about the craft. If someone were to ask me technical questions about my camera settings, or how I go about choosing the lighting or colour scheme during my edits, I would mumble something incoherently, urgently point and scream about something random behind the person speaking to me and while they were distracted, I would run the other way, thus avoiding the need to explain my creative process. I mean, I still shoot in automatic mode on my camera – AUTOMATIC! I don’t even know why that’s undesirable, but I get a lot of boards on Pinterest suggesting I switch to manual mode.

Grey Finn's First Christmas
Like most folks, my Christmas plan this year was to spend time with my family. Out of 52 weeks each year, we typically only have a week together so as you can imagine, our holiday plans are highly anticipated. Unfortunately, covid-19 restrictions, along with a covid-19 scare in the family forced us to rethink our plans and celebrate virtually instead. Having spent the last nine months working from home and sitting in countless Zoom meetings, this is certainly not ideal. However, any celebration is appreciated as I value any time we spend together in whatever capacity.

Daisy and Poppy: The Princesses of the Pines. Third Place in Pet Cam Challenge.
Through years of growing up begging for a dog, my dad has always said he’d rather of another kid. I’d beg for a dog, year after year, sometimes trying to hint at it for a birthday or Christmas gift, but to no avail. I always got the same response - “I’d rather have another kid before I get a dog.”
