As the Eulachan run is on, I went out yesterday in the hope to capture some eagles and sea lions. Unfortunately, no eagles or sea lions to be seen, but lots of seagulls and one lone seal.

A beautiful afternoon for visiting the ducks at Howe Creek.

I have been going through all the photographs I took in 2025, with the attempt to pick my favorite one for the year. Impossible! Choosing a single favorite when each photo carries its own memory and story is almost like trying to pick a favorite moment from the year itself.
So, for me it’s less about technical perfection and more about the feeling each image brings back.
The images of the birds and flowers in our garden remind me of quiet, everyday joy, while the images of whales and sea lions carry the thrill of witnessing something wild and extraordinary. The images of the various landscapes and sceneries remind me of those moments of awe in nature.
My studio shoots, on the other hand, are reflecting creativity and playfulness.
So, instead of one “favorite”, I made a small selection of images reflecting these different experiences.

The Varied Thrush is now a daily visitor at the feeders in our back garden. The orange and black markings on the male are more defined than on the female.
