I'm just a regular civilian with a non-native related day job. I don't do photography but I'm almost always armed with my binoculars whether I'm sitting in my back yard or strolling the parks and river pathways here in London, Ontario. I have always loved animals and love learning more about them. The thing I've noticed is that the more I learn and observe the more nature seems to reveal and present itself to me to the extent that it occasionally feels magical. I feel pretty passionate about raising awareness of the plight of all animals in their attempts to adapt and survive human behaviours and our increasing expansion into the world we share with them.
