Food stand

Another day drifting down the creek, foggy, beautifully still you could hear a pin drop. I put the buddy anchor in the water, the boat not going anywhere just observing this half submerged bear finishing off a salmon, the bear turned allowing me to capture this look almost saying 'really I cant even enjoy my meal in peace!'

Caught in the act

I photographed this arctic fox with its pants down quite literally, its really about the white on white, fur on snow and not the fact the fox most likely wanted some privacy

Coastal wolf

Sometime you really strike it lucky when you are gifted a glimpse of coastal wolves. I was on a beach is the early hours, it was foggy as all heck, I was sitting on a log enjoying the serenity when looking over my left shoulder this wolf stepped out of the fog into view, he didnt stay around long before scaling the rocks and into the woods behind the beach

Bugs and bears

Brown bear mom and cub, this was part of the previous wide shot. Not bothered by my presence, they came closer to the waters edge, foraging and maybe checking me out. I think what grabbed me most was all the bugs these furballs had swarming around them

Sunset mum and cub

Continuing on with watching bears on the BC coast, this was end of day heading back to the mothership, a brown mom and cub foraging, the composition is off, I wasn't expecting these guys as we came around the bend, but just a nice moment, peaceful, serene

Arctic Fox

Arctic fox's can be so curious, I was about a kilometre away from this guy, he was going after the eggs of a bird, the fox didn't disappoint, once he saw me made a B-line right into the lens with those gorgeous eyes. He must have spent about five minutes hanging around me, amazing life experience

Pickin' Fruit

Drifting down the river near a spot I knew was good for bears, coming across this black bear juvenile high in the tree picking fruit. He did fall out at one point due to the branches snapping under him, only his ego ended up being bruised

Snoozy brown bear

The time of year when the salmon are running and the bears are out getting their fill before the big sleep. I'd been watching this fella successfully catching salmon all morning. Belly full it was time to rest ones head on a log and sleep off the mornings breakfast.

Red Fox

I was getting ready to leave and had not taken a single photo. I was even mad at myself because it was the first time visiting the conservation area and I didn't know which path would lead to the shore and ended up taking the wrong one and was on the wrong side of the Marina (I should have checked google maps) but just as I was walking away I see this adorable fox trotting on the ice in the marina entrance with a rabbit in its mouth to bury it in the snow. I got a few photos of that as well but so far this is my favourite photos of the sequence.

Polar Bear portrait

I really like filling the frame, the intent was to get that massive bear head and shoulders taking up the whole space and that feeling of those eyes looking right at you, am I on the menu??

Northern Hawk Owl

Out on a Manitoba Birdwatching Adventure came across this guy on a cold winter’s day. I love how they always look annoyed but I’ve learned not to take it personally 🤣

Snowshoe Hare

This guy ran across the trail in front of me and hid in the bush confident that he couldn't bee seen, with his white winter coat if I hadn't glimpsed movement it would have been near impossible to pick out in the low brush.

The great gray owl 2026

Takes off and ready to hunt in north.
