Fall has officially arrived in southern Alberta… at least according to the calendar! The warm temperatures we’ve had lately don’t exactly feel like autumn, but nature is slowly starting to show signs.

After yesterday’s strong winds, a few leaves have made their way to the ground in the Lethbridge river valley, though most trees are still holding onto their summer green. This little cluster, however, decided to get a head start, already glowing with those golden-yellow hues of fall.

Cold mornings at Henderson Lake don’t stop me from enjoying my walks. The fountain is still running, and when the sun shine through the spray it feels like pure magic. The golden light reflecting off the water, trees, and grass adds just enough warmth to make you forget the chill in the air. Lethbridge mornings never disappoint. Even a quick cell phone picture captures the fall light!!

Do you have boxes of old slides, negatives, or prints collecting dust? 📦✨

After 40+ years of shooting, I know how quickly those memories pile up—believe me, I’ve got more than my fair share! That’s why I just installed our third professional scanner here in Lethbridge. This week alone we’ve already digitized over 1,000 slides into beautiful, lasting digital files. 📸💻

Your memories deserve better than being hidden in a drawer. Let me help you bring them back to life—digitized, printed, and ready to share with family again.

Talking to someone today and realized it is just about time to get the big lens out for wildlife photography. As I get older I find that ordering some things in advance and in bulk helps with lugging the big lens.

You know you are getting old when!!!!

The Burmis Tree in Crowsnest Pass is one of southern Alberta’s most iconic photo spots.

This is one of my favorite shots, but I can’t decide. Does it look better in black & white or color?

This morning while walking through the Lethbridge River Valley, I realized something was missing, I hadn’t seen a single vulture this year. Normally by now, I’ve spotted one or two perched in their usual spots, or a flock circling over the Coulees, but this year the valley has been quiet.

An hour later, back at my office, I went outside to clean up the alley and happened to glance up, there they were!

Seventeen vultures circling gracefully overhead, slowly drifting from the south side toward the north. I stood there for a few minutes just watching them soar.

This photo is actually from last year in the valley, but now I’ll be keeping my eyes open over the next couple of weeks before they head south for the season.

The mornings are changing—sunrise comes later, the air feels heavier, and fall is on its way. After 45 years of watching the seasons shift around Lethbridge’s High Level Bridge, I still find myself stopping to capture the beauty. Today, the contrast of golden light breaking through the clouds against the dark silhouette of the bridge was too perfect to ignore. Moments like these remind me why I love photography.

Today’s post from Waterton Lakes National Park is a bittersweet one.

For years, I’ve returned to what I called “The Tree of Life.” Standing proudly for hundreds—maybe even thousands—of years, this incredible tree became a quiet friend to me. I would visit it often when I lived in Waterton, and even after moving away, I never missed the chance to stop by and spend a moment there.

On my last visit, my heart sank. The tree is still standing strong against the mountain winds, but its massive branch, the one stretching to the right, has been broken off. Sadly, I don’t believe nature caused it. The way it fell feels more like the result of careless hands that didn’t value the deep history this park holds.

It’s hard to see an old friend injured, but even so, the tree continues to endure, still growing, still rooted in the heart of Waterton.

I’m grateful to have captured it in its full glory before this happened—standing tall, unbroken, and proud.

If you’d like to take home a piece of Waterton’s history, I have prints of this remarkable tree available at my office. A lasting reminder of the beauty and resilience found in this special place.

Sometimes it’s not the biggest sights that make the best photos, it’s the little ones.

On my walk around the lake at the Alberta Birds of Prey Centre in Coaldale, Alberta. I found myself drawn to the tiny details instead of the soaring birds above. While everyone else was watching the waterfowl in the sky and the ponds, this little lady beetle stole the show for me.

It sat still just long enough for me to capture a photo—and reminded me that nature’s beauty often hides in plain sight, right at our feet.

Do you notice the little things when you’re out exploring?
