Magnificient Humpback Whale

The capelin had just arrived and the whales were splashing and rolling in the ocean. Calves swam beside their mothers. This whale slid seamlessly into the depth of the ocean holding the tail high!

Waxwing alert!!

I was happy to see a pair of cedar waxwings in my yard...until I realized they were after my haskcap berries!! I netted the berries, hoping it will slow them down, if not stop them.

Posing Pretty

I had about two seconds to get this shot, then the little guy dashed into the high grass where I lost sight of it.

Take the Long Way Home

I was out for a drive and decided to take a different route home, not really knowing what I would see, but always up for something new. Lots of twists and turns in the road, but those led me to multiple families of Lewis' Woodpeckers. I drove past them, slowed down, saw that they were in fact Lewis' Woodpeckers and found a safe spot to turn around so I could pull off the highway and photograph them. There were so many of them, I have never seen them like that before, I was so happy. Only my second time seeing and photographing them.

Sea Wolf Among the Sand Flea Stars

I shared an evening with this gentle old sea wolf. This was the first time I saw him, but not the last. I was hunkered down and scouting for wolves among the sea grass and driftwood on an extremely remote west coast shoreline. Suddenly this old coastal wolf appeared in the distance, I almost missed him as he camouflaged perfectly among the mountains of washed up seaweed, sand and beach stones. I was upwind so he noticed me and lay down behind some seaweed to watch, smell, observe and assess me, and decide if I was dangerous. If I hadn't spotted his subtle movement before he lay down, he would have been basically invisible but for two distant ear tufts, his forehead and two eyes. After a while he deemed me safe, got up and softly continued his journey which just happened to be towards me. He stopped suddenly, went up into the brushes, found a dead and decomposing mink and ate it in a few gulps. Then he continued ahead and stopped a respectful distance in front of me. Here he stood. I witnessed something amazing which I tried to capture in this photograph. The sea wolf stood in front of me and watched the golden sun setting as it came to rest upon the ocean horizon. I realize many people believe there are feelings and experiences that belong solely to humans. But watching this coastal wolf stand in front of me and appear to be appreciating the beautiful light and... just being alive... it's difficult to explain how rare and precious this is. I hope my photograph shares this with you. I have spent years working as a sea wolf guide in the far coastal wilderness, wolf and photography guiding and photographing the lives of these amazing animals. I document their world of intricate ecology, interwoven wildlife, water and landscapes. There are so many incredible stories and photographs to share. I hope this photo inspires you to protect and respect our precious and essential wolves.

The Herring Spawn Feast

The herring spawn is one of the most inexplicably incredible coastal sea-life gatherings to witness and participate in. It's the initial massive influx of protein and nutrients (and life) from the ocean deep as winter ends and transitions into spring. All the animals gather to feast on the herring and roe as the herring return to spawn. The water turns to azure turquoise, bears wake up to slurp eggs, people and wolves, mink, eagles, seals, sea otters, gulls, grey whales and more... are gathering at the feast. It's truly incredible and ancient. There is so much life to photograph during the herring spawn that it's almost overwhelming to decide how to capture and tell the stories. I love the explosion and massive up-swell of gulls as they gorge on eggs in the waves. I hope we can keep a balance and protect this essential marine life with more awareness this time. We have something to celebrate and protect as the herring runs begin to return in numbers to the west coast of Canada. I've spent years working as a sea wolf and coastal wilderness photography guide in remote islands and regions. It's incredible to photograph and live in a world of intricate ecology, interwoven wildlife, water and landscapes. There are wondrous stories and photographs to share.

The Human Footprint at Lake Ontario

Two Mute Swans pause along the Lake Ontario shoreline as dark storm clouds gather overhead. I composed this image from a low perspective to emphasize their presence, capturing a discarded plastic bottle in the foreground as a reminder that even familiar urban wildlife must share their habitat with the traces of human activity.
