Getting used to the camper
After having spent years tent camping and carrying our gear on our back or in our kayaks we are now getting used to the considerable luxury of having it all on wheels. Getting used to moving around with a camper and all the nifty things that come with it takes some time and a few weekends of close to home camping and photography.

The first trip was on a back country site along the Kettle river in South-central British Columbia.
Our New mobile nature photography setup
One of our plans when we moved out west was to be able to get closer to nature for longer periods of time, and do so with a bit of comfort. In this video we pick up our new camper trailer and go on a trek from Edmonton Alberta back to the Okanagan Valley through some spectacular scenery. This is hopefully just a taste of what is to come for us in the next few years.

Okanagan Winter
The second stop on our Western “where to live” tour will keep us in the Okanagan Valley possibly for the next year. In our first couple of months we have managed to hike and explore much of the valley. I have spent a good amount of time looking for good nature locations for photography and continue looking for that piece of land that we will want to call home.

The Kootenays
Our move out west during the pandemic has been interesting. A long drive across Canada in December, and a month in Nelson in the amazing Kootenays is a good start, but we are still looking for a final spot to live so that we can fully explore the nature and landscape of Western Mountains and coast of Canada.

Urban Refuge - nature in a tiny woods near the mouth of the Niagara River
Screech Owls, Coopers hawks, migratory birds all come to this tiny woods in Fort Erie, Ontario. A piece of woods that may not be here much longer as urban sprawl continues to take over Southern Ontario. This location was an amusement park for Buffalo tourists about 100 years ago but nature took it back over in that short time. This is my first attempt to give a bit of narrative in a video that we filmed over a couple of months in the spring of 2020. Hopefully I will learn to be more comfortable in front of the camera but you have to start somewhere.

Beach Boneyards at Botany Bay Plantation
Every year we tried to get to Edisto Beach on the South Carolina coast. Camping at Edisto State Park gave us a great location for day trips out to places like Botany Bay Plantation and the beach boneyard that was a landscape photographer’s dream.

Kayaking in sparkleberry Swamp
Kayaking in a swamp on the north-west end of Lake Marion in South Carolina. This was one of our favorite nature spots, only a couple hours from our place near Greenville. Pretty much any time of year this area was worth a paddle. Summers could be a little too hot, but spring and fall were great times to look for owls, osprey, ibis, herons and even a pair of limpkin. The alligators and turtles were abundant, and the scenery was just out of this world.
