Dominance Display on Sable Island
Shortly after we arrived on Sable Island we came across these two wild horses with the bay colored horse displaying dominance over the black horse. The dunes were snow covered and the horses had their winter coats on.
Hidden on the Dune
This grey seal pup was hidden amongst grass on a snow covered dune on Sable Island. It seemed that around every corner was a seal or seal pup. We had to be careful as to where we went as seals can be very aggressive when protecting their young.
Northern Lights Galore
This year has been great for northern light sightings in Southern Ontario. I had a chance to take this photo summer of this year.
Please No More Photos
This large male grey seal was high up on a sand dune on Sable Island. Sable Island hosts a large breeding colony in the winter and many research scientists. I caught the moment as the seal was using its flipper to rub across his face.
Sable Island Cuteness
This seal pup was lying against a sand dune on Sable Island and seemed to be thinking about something.
The Circle of Life
Winter is a harsh environment on Sable Island and this seal lay frozen on the beach where thousands had gathered to give birth and breed. A reminder that nature is not always kind.
The Measure of Strength
These two seals got a little too close for each other and displayed some territorial rivalry up on the sand dune. Each year thousands of grey seals arrive on Sable Island to form the largest grey seal breeding colony.
Winter Wonderland
Sable Island in the winter is home to Wild Horses and thousands of breeding seals. Many seals are scattered throughout the dunes and the horses and seals share the same landscape. This seal wasn't too impressed that the horse came that close while galloping up the dune.

I was one of the fortunate to have made it to Sable Island in the winter. The island is home to Wild Horses and thousands of seals in the winter. While wondering the dunes this foal to an interest into what I was doing.
Double Trouble
I was out enjoying a coastal stroll along the Victoria BC shores when I spotted this double trouble coming my way. You can't not smile or laugh when watching the antics of an otter. Even in water they are funny, I had a chuckle at this one as it swam towards me with its big bulbous nose sticking out and face reflecting in the water.

Keep Your Eye On The Prize III
A belted kingfisher does not lose its focus in a rainstorm as it keeps a keen eye on a creek's backeddy.
