The middle-aged buck decided that it’s time to show his serious face for a change this morning, as he is often playful and funny.
The bridge reminds me of an emotion of solitude, which is not to be confused with loneliness. The former leads to an internal peace and being one with nature and oneself while the latter was a feeling of being forced to be alone, deprived of freedom and choice. I used to call this photo “Peaceful Bridge” until a young patient of mine (at the time she was nine years old) explored the difference between solitude and loneliness. When the image was presented to him as an illustration, he exclaimed, “Oh, solitude is peace, inner peace!” And the true title of the piece was born.

The doe took a little time off from busy eating for the photo opportunity, although she didn’t want to give up the tasty colorful leaf. By now everyone who has ever seen my work knows that I’m absolutely “addicted” to develop a deep relationship and establish an intimate communication with mule deer (we don’t have a lot of white-tailed deer around here). Everyday I go out there in the early mornings, hoping to have a close encounter! :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Nature Canada
The doe kept following me around, trying to get me to take a serious portrait of her and finally she got it! ;)
The young buck stepped in front of his sister to steal the picture. He really likes the camera, a LOT! :)
The doe seemed to be imparting secret wisdom to the fawn, while the daughter focused her attention somewhere else, perhaps just to see if the camera was catching her with a flattering image? :)
This is a little bridge in my piece of the woods after the first snow. All is calm and quiet. Even the deer seemed to be walking gingerly – not wanting to disturbed the “peace”. Some may even say that the picture portrays a feeling of “eerie-ness” but for me, it’s just the quietness and serenity. This is why I’d like to do my part to keep nature this way! :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Nature Canada
Over the last summer and fall, I must have taken over a thousand shots of this old buck alone. He was around most of the mornings when River and I were in the woods. Sometimes he was playful, other times very hungry so he simply ignored the camera and kept on eating but this morning he was pensive and wanted a portrait to express just that! I guess I grew quite attached to him! Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Nature Canada.
The bird can’t decide which seed to go first as there are so many and she knows it’s time to feast but given the freedom of choice, she seems to feel paralyzed and frozen, not unlike people. :)
The bird was admiring her new winter coat.
My dog River posing for a portrait in the snow. She has ALWAYS liked her picture being taken since she barely opened her eyes at two weeks of age. Her litter mates ran around when the camera aimed at them but she stood in attention every time a photo opportunity showed up! :) I’m sure she’d be glad that I donate the proceed of the sale of her photos to Nature Canada as she loves woods and her deer friends as much as I do! :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Nature Canada.
The bird was claiming the seeds all to herself, chirping and chasing away all others (including my dog River). :)

This is one of the sunrise photos on Dec. 9, 2007 at the north of Montreal.
The fawn inched closer, almost touching my lens and gave me the loveliest smile as if to say, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who has the loveliest smile of us all?” :)
