Cooper’s Hawk 🦅

Here we see the Cooper’s Hawk performing its gawk. While this Hawk gawked, I gawked at the Hawk. When gawking, it’s important to remain hidden.

Clearly, I was not hidden well enough.

The Hawk stalked. I gawked. The Hawk squawked. I walked.

I don’t speak Hawk, but I’m fairly sure it said “quit gawking.”
Pretty rich, coming from the bird that gawked first.

Things have been a bit hawkward ever since.😬

Bold Jumping Spider 🕷️
Typically I’d say absolutely NOT.
To be clear, if it jumped at me while taking the photo, I probably would have died right then and there.
But I’ve learned these guys are super curious! They will stop and look up at you, check you out.. respect distance..
and once you realize they’re not going to hurt you, they’re pretty cool.
But just to be clear, I’d still die.
I’m not sure by what mechanism, but it’s guaranteed instant death.
Probably fire.. just to be safe.

Hawk Moth Part 2 🦅🪽
I couldn’t just continue on without sharing my remaining images of this guy.
I just know he’s out there living his life, flying around.. being a moth.

Hawk Moth 🪽
It’s sharp. 🔪
This one takes me back. So, I saw this worm boogying across my backyard in the summer. Clearly he was coming to eat my pepper plants. It was also at severe risk as the birds were actively at the feeder, and one wrong move and this guy would have been a goner.
So, in a selfless act, I rescued it. I was a hero, for real this time.
It lived in a luxurious bug container on my back deck for weeks.
I fed him his favourite foods, we sat under the umbrella together.. told stories.. shared laughs.. it was a beautiful friendship. A real one. 🥲
That was until, he decided it was time to bury himself in the dirt and change his identity. I’ve thought about it myself as well to be fair.
3 weeks later, he emerged. But now my green friend was this giant hairy moth.
He paid thanks for the hospitality by resting on this leaf and allowing me to photograph him. He knew he was looking fresh, literally.
After my brief photo session, I left him to embark on his new journey.
I never saw him again…
I still think about him.

Dinner Time 🕷️

You’ll be happy to know that this spider was HALF the size of a grain of rice.
That, of course, can be better visualized as 1/847th of a golf ball! Or even 1/12,000th of a stop sign. 🛑

What’s exciting is that I can confidently say that this will likely be the worst spider photo that I ever post!
As in, from here on, they’re going to be significantly higher quality, more involved, and more scenic! I’ve been practicing and this one feels like old news already!
I feel that it’s important to post the progress photos, otherwise people will claim that I’m “too good” and must be stopped for “the greater good”, and we can’t have that.

I’ve got a few more macro shots lined up to share.
I hope you enjoy them, and if you don’t enjoy them, I hope they make you uncomfortable.

Wolf Spider 🐺🕷️

So get this..
I was outside, minding my own business, when I heard HOWLING.
At first, it caught me off guard.
What a bizarre thing to hear in my neighbourhood, I thought.
Turns out there was a Wolf Spider nearby!
So, I took its photo.
I also learned that you don’t have to walk around howling in your backyard to find Wolf Spiders🤷🏻‍♂️

Family of Five!🦝
While out for some birding, Andy Waterhouse (andyw.photos) and I came across a single raccoon lounging in a tree.

As we got into position and started shooting, suddenly there were two raccoons!
Then three!
Then four!
Then to our absolute surprise, a fifth one appeared!

As we stood side-by-side rapidly taking our photos, scrambling for a better angle, the moment was over.. lasting for approximately two whole seconds.
Luckily, we each got our shots and with slightly different poses.

When the moment passed, we quickly got together and reviewed our images. I didn’t even think I got one. Stupid typical me, floundering and fumbling in the moment.

But when Andy showed me his on the back of his camera, I looked at him and I said “Dude! You did it, you got it! If you submit this to Canadian Geographic, you’ll be a finalist”
“That’s a winner!”

So, Andy submitted his image to the Canadian Geographic Wildlife Photographer of the Year contest, and that’s how I officially started my side business as a Psychic Medium! 🧙🏻‍♂️
I’m not offering readings yet, I don’t wanna rush it. I also can’t offer any guarantees on the accuracy of my readings, however, so far I have a 100% track record.

This also officially makes me “The Two Time”.
How so?
Well… TWO years in a row, I have mentored and helped guide two friends, Reece (Reece Buruma) and Andy (andyw.photos ) into the ways of bird and wildlife photography, just for them to become finalists in the National competition.
I’m aiming for 2027 to be my year, that’ll ideally make me “The Three Time”, at which point I’ll legally change my name to “Triple T”.

“How didn’t you see this coming? I thought you were a medium?” - You might ask..
Well, I wasn’t a Psychic Medium yet! 👀
