Tim Osborne Photography 🍁

A re-introduction to my new followers. I'm Tim, a photographer in St. Albert, Alberta, Canada. You'll mostly find me posting wildlife shots here. But be warned, I may also sprinkle in some sports (Go #oilers) and the occasional political post. Look forward to connecting!

Puppy remains adorable. It has been an interesting challenge supporting her rehab from knee surgery. Hard to find enough outlets for all of that puppy energy! #dogs #servicedogintraining

Welcome to Alberta where you can fly an Oilers flag at a school but not a Treaty, Metis, or Pride Flag. In the words of the Minister, this is to “remove politics and ideology” from the classroom. Nothing removes politics and ideology quite like dictating which flags are acceptable and which aren't.

Thrilled that our new puppy is out of the cone! No more running into things with her head all day! #dogs

Relieved that the majority of my fellow Albertans voted to stay in Canada. Demoralized that a majority also voted that the child of a temporary foreign worker or refugee shouldn't have access to health care or education. Yesterday doesn't really feel like a win. #canada #ABleg

I’ve worked hard to try to bring awareness to the wildlife of the Boreal Forest especially with animals that rarely receive much attention. Nice to see one of my porcupine photos recognized. #porcupine #borealforest #photographyawards #nature #wildlife

I've added another Jasper wildlife photo tour this fall, November 3-10th. Two spots (of three) remain. Who wants them? Details at canwildphototours.com/jasperphotow...

Here's a grizzly bear seen just after coming out of the woods and getting ready to cross over the road. Always a good reminder to limit your speed when you're in bear country! #wildlife #bears

She's starting to be able to put some weight on her leg which is great to see. Making sure she doesn't overdo it is going to be the biggest challenge I think! #servicedogs #dogs

Started a new adventure yesterday. This is Berk, an Assistance Dog in Training for Dogs with Wings Assistance Dog Society. She'll be living with us for the next year as she prepares for a future role as an Assistance. But first, she's got a few weeks of rehab to do following a knee injury.

Always nice to capture a bear blep. #wildlife #bear #grizzly

Another shot of the lovely Grizzly Bear I had the privilege of photographing on the weekend. #wildlife #grizzly

Had a brief encounter with this coyote before he decided to head back into the woods. #wildlife #coyote

Always nice to get back to the mountains to spend some time with beauties like this one. #wildlife #bears #grizzly

From @atlanticbirding.bsky.social, today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Black&White, any shot in black and white. With that in mind, here's a Great Grey Owl showcasing their impressive wingspan! #owls

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. First observed in 2013 as Orange Shirt Day, it is a day for public commemoration, learning and reflection on the history and intergenerational trauma of the Residential School System in Canada.

This is the least excited I’ve been for the start of an #Oilers season.

Like everywhere it's @jayispainting 😁 youtube.com/@jayispainting

Who's coming to Banff to catch my show with wildlife artist Susie Cipolla? It's live now at Canada House Gallery or you can check it out online at: canadahouse.com/collections/...

We will happily wear this as a badge of honour.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is hosted by @helenbennett.bsky.social and the themes are #BokehBirds, birds with soft, muted or blurry backgrounds. Have yerselves a Kingfisher at dusk, settings etc: dombarker.co.uk/posts/965

From @helenbennett.bsky.social, today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BokehBirds - any bird captured with a soft, muted or blurry background. Can't help but share a recent favourite of this puffin captured on the Isle of Staffa. #birds

From @atlanticbirding.bsky.social, today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Seabirds; any bird found at sea or the coast. Here's an Atlantic Puffin on the Isle of Mull, Scotland. #birds #puffin

Won't be long before they're headed to bed for the winter. Hopefully still a few sightings left this season. #wildlife #grizzly

14 bears have been killed by government-endorsed hunters in Alberta. 🐻 We have no idea why. In July 2024, Alberta’s Wildlife Management Responder Network was announced and promoted as a way to “protect Albertans’ lives and livelihoods.” →

From @atlanticbirding.bsky.social, today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Raptors, any bird of prey. So, here's a Great Horned Owl parent leaping out of a nesting cavity, most likely to seek a meal for her youngsters. #birds #owls

One of nature's cutest little creatures, this is the Pika. #wildlife #pika

Had a great time doing some photography for Kaleido Fest in Edmonton on the weekend. It's a wonderful celebration of the arts, culture, and community. #yeg #yegarts

Ran into this beauty shortly after the sunset while out for a walk in the woods last night. #wildlife #birds #owls

There are few wildlife experiences that can top seeing a wolf in the wild. #wildlife #wolves

This is shot from a few year's back of a young leopard cub relaxing in the dry grass. #wildlife #africa

A pyramid scheme I can wholly endorse. This is fierce and funny, and deserves to be shared. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #notothenine

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme from @robcrank68.bsky.social is #Mamas&Papas, male & female of the same species in the same photo. Here's a shot of two Red-Winged Blackbirds. Fair to say, I think he liked what he saw! #birds

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Mouthful which seems like a good excuse to share another puffin photo! #birds

BIG news! I've got my first limited edition print show at Canada House Gallery in Banff September 26th-October 3rd in collaboration with artist Susie Cipolla. Come join me for the opening October 3rd from 12-4 pm.

From @robcrank68.bsky.social: Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Iridescence, any bird whose colour changes with light on them. Here's a White-Faced Ibis with the sun hitting it just right to see the array of colours. #birds

First Nations in this province are certainly doing a lot of heavy lifting recently. Between this and fighting the separatists, I am feeling a tremendous amount of gratitude. #ableg

That’s a lot of reputational damage to sign the 82nd ranked scorer from the Swiss League. Man this team is hard to root for. If Karma is a thing, the #Oilers are in for a few more rough years.

Spent some time watching this Great Blue Heron last night as she lay in wait hoping to catch a meal. #wildlife #birds

It's always appreciated when they sit and pose for me. #wildlife #grizzly

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Herons&Egrets, here's a Great Blue Heron fresh back from the salon!

Here's my #InFlight #BirdOfTheDay: A Great Grey Owl swooping upwards over a snowy backdrop. Hope we'll be seeing some here again soon! #birds #owls

From @helenbennett.bsky.social, today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BirdNaps Any bird caught snoozing, napping or just looking incredibly sleepy! 😊 💤 Here's my sleepy Great Horned Owl. #birds #owls

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Contrast; light birds against dark backgrounds or vice versa. Here's a Barred Owl captured in front of a dark forest. #birds

It was wonderful to run into a moose on an evening walk earlier this week. The blood on his antlers is the result of him being in the process of shedding the velvet from them. #wildlife #moose #canada

My rallying cry. We must reject these nine noxious questions, which are cynically designed to incite discrimination and foment distrust in our courts, our county, and our fellow Canadians. Say no to the nine. And please read snd share. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #Canada #Alberta #notothenine

Senator Simons has long been one of my favourite authors and journalists. Her voice as a Senator is as important as ever.
