The Devil's in the Details
I have a knack for finding little intricacies that make my designs stand out.
Coming up on 10 years since I moved to the island. I’ll never grow tired of this sight.
Hummingbird down! Almost stepped on this little guy as I ventured out with my camera last night. I came back to check on him a couple hours later and he was still on the ground and hadn’t moved. After talking to a couple of my bird nerd friends, I was advised to carefully place him in a covered box for the night. This morning his eyes were open and he was breathing heavier. I took the lid off the box and placed him in the sun. When I went back an hour later to check on him, he was gone! Cute little bugger. ☺️
Golden summer nights in the country.

FINALLY had some nice weather this weekend. Got out for a hike and enjoyed some calm at the lagoon.

Spring is off to a slow start this year. While my family back home in Ontario is enjoying temperatures on the high 20s, we’re sitting in the low teens with rain in the forecast almost every day. It’s been a bummer, as I’ve been itching to get out and capture some landscapes, but the weather simply isn’t cooperating. Hopefully the summer months will make up for it.

To say it’s been a long winter would be the understatement of the decade. At least in my world. Thankful for Spring showers which are bringing fresh buds to life. The days are getting longer and my morning walks are a heck of a lot more enjoyable as the temperature continues to rise. Next up are the cherry blossom trees, which are already starting to bloom.
My apologies if you happened to see this post previously. It’s been nearly 6 months since I edited photos and I missed a couple steps in the process.
I’m a UI/UX designer from 9-5pm, so should be no surprise that I love macro photography. Much like design, it’s all about the tiny details. And the details make all the difference.
As a kid, I enjoyed looking at things up close under microscope, and looking through a macro lens gives me that same type of joyous wonder.
After taking wide landscape photos, I like to switch to macro and investigate the area from a completely different perspective. These photos were taken at Mary Vine Falls a few weeks back. These tiny leaves and moss were growing on a fallen tree that stretched across the river.

As the rainy season approaches, I’m kicking myself for not making photography excursions a priority this past year. I got into a bit of a funk this time last year, which lasted right through until spring. Probably had to do with the severe sleep deprivation after bringing a puppy home, but whatever the case, I’m bummed I didn’t really push myself to get out there.
I did, however, spend a lot of time over the long winter months learning. I watched countless hours of tips and tutorials on YouTube, making notes along the way. When I did get back out there, I felt like I was supercharged and saw an immediate improvement in my shooting and post-processing. So I suppose all that time on YouTube was worth it in the end.
Have I thanked you for checking out my photos lately? I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the likes, comments, and shares!

Sooke has never looked so good! This was taken just a couple minutes from home, and I had no idea we had these gorgeous hills behind us. I totally lucked out with the weather this day, as it had been raining from the moment I got up. When the clouds parted and the sun came out, I grabbed my drone and hit the road. What I came home with exceeded my expectations.

In the 9 years I’ve lived on Vancouver Island, I don’t remember Autumn being this vibrant. We have so many evergreen trees, it’s typically a sea of green in every direction.

The weather’s been crappy lately. Typical fall weather on the west coast of Canada — wet and windy. But on Saturday, we had a break from the gloomy clouds and I seized the opportunity.
I had an idea for an aerial photo close to home and rushed out with only my drone in tow. From the ground, we see mostly green trees with a few coloured maples here and there. But from the air, the colours shine through. I was blown away by the view when I flew above the tree line!

I had grown tired of the annual release cycle, but Assassin's Creed Valhalla is the best game in the franchise since Black Flag, as far as I'm concerned.
Minecraft Dungeons is a family-friendly loot-based dungeon crawler set in the Minecraft universe. While mining and crafting is absent, it absolutely looks, sounds, and feels like Minecraft.
Jedi: Fallen Order has turned things around for the franchise in the video game space and delivered an experience that is true to the source material and immensely satisfying.
