Daybreak on the Cowichan

Sacha Hall targets resident trout on a foggy morning at the height of the Pacific Salmon run - Cowichan River, British Columbia

Curious Baby Raccon

This sweet little kit was out exploring in broad daylight (mama was close keeping a watchful eye).

Rainy day cardinal

A rainy, foggy day today, so it was lovely to see this female northern cardinal add a bright spot in the drizzle.

The Stand Off

Steller sea lions are intensely social but fiercely competitive over space. This Vancouver Island scene was a symphony of raw, booming barks as two Steller sea lions sized each other up in a boisterous display of dominance. Shuffling their massive bodies and tossing their heads upward, they engage in a noisy territorial dance, each trying to claim the best resting spot. It is a scene of pure acoustic drama, where wide-open jaws and powerful posturing serve to settle the score without ever needing to trade a physical blow.

First Trip of the year

The self-off loader Algoma Intrepid, moving into position for the first load of trap rock for the season from Bruces mines. The ice breaker was in days earlier to carve a lead in the ice, and it was interesting to see the boat maneuver to the docks .

Cool morning, staying warm

Autumn Mornings

Bonaparte gull changed it flight path at a split second, the fall colours of the tree reflect off the calm morning water before the wind starts creating this contrasting image.

Early Morning Predator

This Bald Eagle after thinking it flew off and I wouldn't manage to capture any photos of it decided to come back and attempt to catch a fish.... sadly it did not but capturing my first Bald Eagle photo with the remainder of autumn colours in the background just made this moment even more special for me.

Split Second Stop

More Bonaparte gulls, This one applied the breaks very quickly after spotting its next meal.

Calm Reflections

Spent the early morning photographing Bonaparte gulls flying around practicing in flight shots and I managed to capture the perfect diving shot with the water staying calm.

Springtime

Found this warbler gathering sun in Mid- April on Mckay Island at Bruces Mines .

The Gathering

Taken on a ridge trail in Pukaskwa National Park, looking out towards Lake Superior in early October. The weather changed almost every day. From cold too hot to wind and rain, it was always a gamble to hike the trails.

One night in October

We were out one night In October at Pukaskaw National Park and were treated to a light show.

Suspension bridge over White River

Part of the White River suspension bridge trail in Pukaskwa National Park. It hangs approximately 23 Metres above the river and is roughly 30 Metres across, with excellent views of the river and canyon.
