Great Horned Owl after dark

For those who know me, they can appreciate why capturing this photo was really special. Along my travels tonight, two Great Horned Owls were perched along the telephone lines. Despite the darkness, the bright moon, quick deployment of a flash light and a steady hand, I was able to snap this shot. It’s so great […]

Skunks are pretty cute but they’re defensive smell, used to protect themselves against predators, isn’t something that many find all that attractive. Taken in Kentville this morning. Adrian J.

Lupins are typically found in mid to late June, depending on the weather and spotted in fields and roadsides across the valley. They stand out for their stunning colours. My personal favourite is the purple lupins but they also vary in colours from white and pink! Adrian J.

Cardinal visit

May 24, 2026June 28, 2026thevalleyeyephotography

Rarely do I manage to get photos of a Cardinal but today this one really wanted its picture taken outside of my work in Kentville. Many of my brothers and sisters in the fire service, across Nova Scotia, are truly struggling, navigating through significant loss. The month of May has always been a really difficult […]
