The Biggest Camouflage

Despite their size, moose are really good at hiding and standing still. It's easy to be driving along the Hwy. 60 corridor in Algonquin Park and miss Canada's second biggest animal (only to the bison) standing in a roadside marsh. Even if they do have a big rack. Moose love hanging around in marshes because of the salt water - it just tastes so good! This big bull was in his heaven when he had his favourite drink at his feet and delicious vegetation at his side. He stopped for a moment to keep tabs on the photographer, but ultimately was unbothered because of the respectful distance. This photo was taken with a long lens, so the moose and the photographer both felt safe. What a wonderful moment to witness and share.

Water Play

When you hear a little scurrying, there’s a good chance it’s a raccoon. Sitting atop a wall at a local creek one August morning, I hear something like little hands slapping the water. I look a little closer and see who those little hands belong to and voila! I see not one, but two raccoons. And it saw me, too. These photos are of one of the raccoons — the other was too deep into the long grass to get a good snap. According to Britannica, raccoons dip their hands in water to softens their outer skin layer, letting them “see” and feel the texture, weight and size of their food with extreme precision.

Gravity Defied

Suspended upside down, this tan European mantis blends perfectly into the shadows. While it looks like a delicate dead leaf caught on a branch, it is actually a fierce and focused predator scouting for its next meal from a unique inverted vantage point.

Humpback Whale's open mouth when he comes up from bubble feeding

This was taken while on a cruise to Alaska with Seabourne Cruise Line. 10 humpback whales were bubble feeding in the ocean off Haines Alaska. Luckily for me they came up right beside our boat, i was the only one outside and my camera was in focus. This is photo 1 of 3
