Nature Works Photography

l have been a part of a few successful wildlife rescues and educate people on wildlife and environmental issues. We have helped in issues to save wetlands, woodlands etc.to save the precious life within. It is well worth the effort. We can all learn to live and work together. Education is the key. In 2011 I won an education award from Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority for the work and photography I do. Habitat is fast disappearing and with it, many species are also declining in numbers. So many species can actually tell us the health of our environment and alert us to problems we need to know about. They all need to be protected.

Loon family,June/09

Loon Family

l have had a very amazing summer so far and had many photo opportunities. While out on the water up north l was so fortunate to have witnessed this beautiful loon family. They have picked a wonderful quiet spot to raise this family and are still doing well there.l am going to post a few photos of this family as l got many great shots. Hard to decide which ones to post. l can tell you that this massive bird with it's extremely long bill is the most amazingly gentle creature when feeding and caring for its young. We have rescued a loon wrapped up in fishing line and l have seen them up close and personal. They are amazing.It was a great honor to have been able to sit out in the water and quietly watch this family. Totally awsome. Thanks B & C for your kind hospitality.

Young and carefree

After some time they finally got comfy and had a good days sleep in that big ol tree out back.!!

Beautiful.

Precious babies of the wild. June/09

Watching these 3 out back of my place was wonderful. Just chilling out and getting comfy in this big old tree. The tree came down last year and what was left was left alone. Making a wonderful safe place to spend the day for these young raccoons.
