Red Squirrel & Hornet
Amazing how many other animals feed off the Red Naped Sapsucker (woodpecker) taps into our willow bushes: Red Squirrels, hornets, wasps, butterflies, and humming birds have all come in for sweet treats.
Red Squirrel
Outside the cities Red Squirrels dominate the forests, eating mostly pine and spruce tree seeds, but also plenty of mushrooms (which they dry out on branches for winter food). Hilarious watching Robins chase Red Squirrels around at high speed, since they also eat bird eggs. Three of the new-born rodents were feeding from the Red […]
Red Naped Sapsucker – Juveniles
These are two of three fledglings a pair of Red Naped Sapsuckers (woodpeckers) are feeding from the willow trees just behind our outdoor kitchen at our seasonal camp. The young are so funny learning how to fly. The bird life out in the Alberta foothills is wonderful.
Red Naped Sapsucker – Adult
We’re spending most of the summer in our new caravan at our seasonal camp in the Alberta foothills just east of Banff’s Ya Ha Tinda Ranch (where the new Bison heard was acclimatized before being released into the wild after a 125 year absence). While we accumulate home exchange credits (for future travels overseas) we […]
Pancake Inventor’s Notebook – Printing

Dereliction—Alberta Sweep
One Week Road Trip Into Southern Alberta Before heading out to Saskatchewan for five weeks we decided to sweep through the Alberta locations our research had targeted – get them out of the way. We were already familiar with the Drumheller area, and the Atlas #4 Coal Mine National Historic Site, where a Blood Moon […]
Dereliction—Reconnaissance
Two Week Reconnaissance Road Trip We wanted to test the effluent – see if there was enough abandoned dereliction left around to warrant a longer photography expedition. So the adventure began: we hopped in the Jeep and headed south, mostly Saskatchewan ghost towns, for two weeks. We absolutely found stuff: perishing, disintegrating, crackling: Whizz Bang […]
Dereliction – Coming Soon
Dereliction—Colours of Abandonment Our latest photography expeditions are being compiled – just in time for Exposure Festival in February. Dereliction is an eye on things abandoned: ignored, forgotten, forlorn, fading away, dismissed by our modern predilection for everything new. Following the Ghost Town Trail along obsolete railroads: from Tiny to Biggar, Eastend to Westbend, Smuts […]
