Sometimes we just need some inspiration. A glorious moment once captured in a redwood forest.

I love this owl that I photographed for several days in 2023. Unfortunately he is no longer alive and I wrote a story about him in my blog which I'll share: wanderlustphotos.com/the-burrowin...

Long Dong Silver (yes, that's its name) pinnacle in the surreal desert landscape near Hanksville, Utah. Need to go there again this Spring for another visit!

One of the most surreal and unique places I've visited: the Atacama Desert in Chile. This place is called Piedras Rojas. The white is not snow - it's salt.

Banff in May 2017 on my way to move to Montreal from Squamish, BC. I took my time and did the #roadtrip in in two weeks so I got to visit all of the provinces a long the way.

Happy Foggy Friday! One of my favorite foggy redwood shots from back in 2021.

I went searching for icebergs in Newfoundland in 2018 and this was one of my favs. Taken after a rainstorm on Fogo Island. I camped (inside my car) next to this berg in 80 kph winds. Wild place. 😂

A new little bird I discovered while visiting my parents in Florida - a Green Heron. I love its colors. The green part is more greenish-blue, but I left the white balance as cool as I liked the effect on the back feathers. So it's more teal otherwise.

Gm! One of my favorite photos of Atwell Peak from Squamish, BC that I photographed from my deck one morning. This is the pointy park of Mt. Garibaldi. What a view! It was the only place in Squamish I lived where I had a direct view of this lovely mountain.

I will share my Canadian photos this week to show support for Canada. This was taken when I lived in Roberts Creek, BC in 2013.

Back from Florida and going through my photos. One of my favorites of the Great "Frozen" Egret, which is how they hunt. Amazed at how long they can remain frozen in one position. It makes them a bit easier to photograph, but you still need good lighting and background!

I came across a stork yesterday that caught a fish and was trying to swallow it whole. He kept struggling for 20 minutes and did not succeed. Sun had already set, so I left him to it. I hope he was able to eat the fish somehow!

Happy Foggy Friday! There is a vast forest behind this fog with only and island of it peaking out.

Sharing the "sign owl" I photographed in 2023 in Marco Island, Florida. The story of this owl is in one of my blog posts. May he rest in peace. ❤️🦉

Gm! Back in Florida for a visit with my parents. The weather has been weird so far this week (cloudy and cool), so I haven't photographed any birds yet. This one is from Dec. 2022 of a Tri-colored heron out hunting in the morning light.

A new year. A new beginning. A month of change.

Tranquil Radiance is the good theme for 2025.

A low winter sun glows in the redwood forest. Taken in January 2022.

Gm! The Power of Light

It inspires, it highlights, it lifts you, it guides you.

Self-care is designing a life you don't need to escape from.

Happy Waterfall Wednesday! One of my favs in the Utah desert. Such a magical oasis to find after a long desert hike.
