Fishing in the Fraser River

Autumn Colors

For the past two weeks, I’ve been hearing it nearby while reading in the field with my horse—it keeps distracting me from my book :) Yesterday, I spotted it among the yellow leaves. I went to get my camera from the car and finally managed to get this shot. I love the beautiful, warm autumn colors. Femelle Grand Pic / Pilated Woodpecker female Depuis deux semaines que je l'entend aux alentours quand je lis dans le champ en compagnie de mon cheval et qui me déconcentre dans ma lecture :) Hier je l'ai aperçu dans les feuilles jaunes. J'ai été cherché ma caméra dans l'auto et j,ai finalement réussi à prendre ce cliché. J'adore les belles couleurs chaudes de l'autonme

Humming Bird Nest

A hummingbird's nest is a delicate weave of spiderweb and moss. Not much bigger than a shot glass, there is only enough room for the mother and the egg. When the hatchling gets larger, mom is forced to sit on the edge of the nest to protect her young.

Arbutus

This tree is found in the dry coastal areas of British Columbia. It's hard to imagine a dry coastal area in BC, but they do exist. Parts of Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands have dry microclimates where the Arbutus thrives. It is Canada's only native broad-leafed evergreen tree.

Young Bald Eagle

Along the West coast of Canada, and during the early spring. Young Bald Eagles have left the nest and are learning to hunt on their own with Mom close by.

Feeding Time

A great blue heron proves it's not a picky eater, caught here with a freshly snatched Mouse clamped in its bill. This bird was patient, standing motionless for over 30 minutes before striking with startling speed and precision.

Gone Now

Lovely little Ruby-throated Hummer getting it's last drink of energy and now, likely, on it's way as migration is in full swing - Winnipeg

Autumn Angler

It's a typical drizzly Vancouver Island fall day, and salmon are spawning. Driven to the river with instincts honed over generations, this black bear stands perfectly still on a moss-covered boulder, pausing ever so briefly to look my direction before turning its attention back to the rushing river and its fishing.
