Snow Walkers

Out on the frozen flats of Churchill, a polar bear leads her cubs across the ice. She moves with confidence, and they follow close behind, learning the rhythm of survival. The land is harsh and silent, but they move forward together.

Frosty Days...

Calgary has been very frosty the last few days which makes for some beautiful wintry scenes!

Locked In

A red-tailed hawk perches on a tree branch, looking around for its next meal. But before it finds what it's looking for, it notices me, the photographer, and my camera. It was curious only for a moment before going back to its mission of finding its next meal.

I See You

A great horned owl is about to settle in for its daytime nap, but clearly my footsteps caught its attention and it wasn't too pleased. The owl stayed perched atop a tall deciduous tree, covered by the green needles. It was only by chance I found the owl after hearing a commotion from crows and squirrel, which directed my gaze upwards to see what all the fuss was about. And there it was, the great horned owl.

Wings

A trumpeter swan airs out its wings after a preening session. The swan was among a flock of 18 in Carleton Place, Ontario that were swimming, feeding and sleeping along a path on the Mississippi River. The swans ranged from juveniles to adults. Trumpeter swans flap their wings for several reasons, but in this case, this swan was resetting its feathers following its grooming session.

Trees covered with frost take on a new look.

Snowy Solitude!!

I saw this polar bear in Churchill, standing alone in the snow. It was calm, powerful, and perfectly at home in the cold.

Tracks in the Tracks

I went out for a drive before it got dark out, not seeing much, but I did come across an adorable deer family out for a stroll in the train tracks.

Frost Covered Trees

Afte an incredible two days of freezing and foggy temperatures trees are hidden with a coat of frost.

Hide and Seek

While watching this bull moose feed, he stoped behind the hoar frosted trees

A Cold Morning Feed

I spotted this moose in a spot I haven’t seen moose in a few years, excitedly I grabbed the camera my phone and spotting scope taking video and pictures when he moved off I flew my drown and seen he dropped an antler so I hiked out and picked it up

Chutes Dorwin

Chutes Dorwin in Rawdon Quebec, shrouded in ice & snow.

female purple finch

Winter birds are coming to my yard and feeder because we have a least a foot of snow on the ground....and it's FREEZING!! (-19C last I checked) I love the tilt of this finches head, and the way the light hit her. Snow on her beak is how they get water, I'm guessing.
