Backcountry Diaries
I'm an amateur Canadian photographer living in northern Ontario close to beautiful Lake Superior. I like to shoot nature and wildlife. But I'm happy capturing whatever presents itself in front of my lens.
#camping #hiking #snowshoeing #canoeing, and more.
- We spotted this juvenile garter snake as it crossed the trail, trying to hide in the leaf litter. #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #snake
- A hoverfly sips the last few drops of nectar on a late-September hike on an old familiar trail. #photography #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #nature #hoverfly #wildflower #insect
- During the day, this road bustles with both foot and vehicle traffic as people go about their busy lives. But at night, the silence rolls in like dense fog. #photography #monochrome #fog #blueskyartshow #theroad
- A bee gathers pollen while it still can. Fall is in the air. #NaturePhotography #photography #WildlifePhotography #bee #flower #yellow
- Two long-forgotten Muskoka chairs being reclaimed by nature. #Photography #NaturePhotography #OutdoorPhotography #AbandonedPlaces #RusticCharm #Overgrown #ForgottenPlaces #ReclaimedByNature #AutumnVibes
- Broken promise. #Photography #Forest #Autumn #FallenLeaves #WeddingMetaphor #NaturePhotography #RustAndDecay #ArtInNature #VisualPoetry
- It was nice to spend an afternoon on the rocky shores of Lake Superior trying to capture her early autumn mood. #photography #monochrome #slowexposure #landscape #greatlakes #LakeSuperior

- The morning before the unofficial end to summer, and light bursts through the trees. #BlackAndWhitePhotography #BWPhoto #Monochrome #PhotoStory #MorningLight #ForestPhotography #WoodlandPhotography #Photography #Sunburst
- Scenes from our campsite on this Labour Day weekend. #icmphotography #intentionalcameramovement #ICM #abstractphotography #natureabstracts #canada #ontariophotography #lakelife #canoeing #forestphotography #treelovers #naturephotography #moodynature #slowshutter #photographicart
- The door is open. The hardest step is the first one. #BlackAndWhitePhotography #BWPhotography #Monochrome #FineArtPhotography #Photography #PhotoStory #VisualPoetry #MinimalistPhotography #BarnPhotography #ContrastAndLight
- The worst customer support--and I mean by a country mile--has got to be @gopro.bsky.social. Their website is utterly useless, phone support directs you to their website where you have to log in, to deal with an issue logging in! Round and round we go. "Your call is important to us." Uh-huh.

- This is fantastic news! I just signed up for a Pixelfed account, but it would be so much nicer to have full photo-sharing integration on Bluesky.

- Nailed it! (At least for me, anyway.) #photography
- A photo-club colleague just lost all their Lightroom photo edits because of a corrupted catalog file. How is this possible? I don't use LR, I use Darktable, which saves edits automatically to .xmp sidecar files; why doesn't LR do this by default? Is it possible to recover lost edits? #photography
- Even as the vibrant colours of summer fade and the cold sets in, resilience endures. The dry catkins and muted winter tones remind us that strength lies in adaptation and perseverance through the most challenging times. #photography #woodlandphotography #nature #naturephotography #resilience
- Old bricks of the Château des ducs de Bretagne in Nantes, France. #photography #blueskyartshow #bricks
- This red-breasted nuthatch (Sitta canadensis) was obviously camera shy, trying to hide behind some unnatural detritus hanging in a tree. Despite his best efforts, he's just too handsome not to share. #birds #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #m43photography

- Thick winter plumage keeps this black-capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus) warm even in the coldest temperatures. #birds #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #nature #wildlife
- The worst is getting a new lens and having no opportunity to play with it for a week because of the brutal cold. But it’s not (too) cold today. Finally!

- When the temperatures plummet to -20 C and below, I turn my camera inward; this time towards a house plant. This is a Mother-In-Law's Tongue (a.k.a. Snake Plant; Sansevieria trifasciata). #photography #houseplants #lowkey #flashphotography
- This is the best video you'll watch today. Great work, @dradriansmith.bsky.social ! I've trapped thousands--maybe tens of thousands—of earwigs; I've even done a mark-recapture study with them to figure out how they were getting into my house. I've never seen one whip out its wings and fly away.
- Our Christmas cactus bloomed today. Let the festivities begin! #flower #photography #lowkey #christmascactus
