No-land-nearby landscape photo

A bonus of iceberg spotting in Baffin Bay before the ice breaks up is one can effectively walk up to the 'bergs :) This was among the largest we saw while camping on the frozen Baffin Bay off the NW tip of Baffin Island in April, 2025. The smaller icebergs we visited were so our Inuit Guides could collect ice to melt for our drinking water. This photo shows about 1/4 of the width of this iceberg and only half the arch, and the height is cut off as well!; chose this shot with people included for scale! The shot was taken from where the other snowmobiles and qamutiiks sat -- we only 'approached' with a single machine and qamutiik at a time. The full iceberg shots I have were taken from a great distance.

Seal on ice

We were tenting on the frozen Baffin Bay off the northeast tip of Baffin Island (April 2025) in search of wildlife to photograph (Polar Bears most specifically) when our Inuit guides pointed to a Ringed Seal on the ice. After a short hike from the snowmobiles and qamutiiks of a few hundred metres to get closer (but still at some distance) to the seal (looked not much more than a black mark on the ice from where we stopped) and using a long lens, I was able to capture this photo of the seal lounging by its aglu (breathing hole), photo right. Sharing the photo on the back of my camera with one of the guides, he told me that the distinct silver rings indicated this was a younger sea

This beaver is working away on his new place...never stops.

Coastal Collision

Wild December stormy winds, waves, and rain have arrived on Canada's West Coast shores of Victoria, BC. Logs are tossed onto the beach like sticks by angry seas as waves crash like thunder into the shoreline; seafoam and spray shoot up with every roaring, rolling wave.

Fall in the air

The turtle pond were I live is the most beautiful fall colors. Oct 17 every year.

mom is not happy

Always pays to listen to mom at bed time. She is not a happy swan. haha

Look from below

Dinner time at the pond and the turtles are looking for their share.

This huron is looking to use the turtles as Cameo so the fish will not notice him.

RUN!!!

Victoria, BC is known for its mild winters, but don't let it fool you. It can turn nasty too. Wild December stormy winds, waves and rain brought in from an atmospheric river crash over the Ogden Point Breakwater. A man runs back toward the shoreline, trying to escape the wind and waves crashing over the top of the pier.

Winter nap

Do not disturb.

Wild Wind and Waves

Victoria, BC is known for its mild winters, but don't let it fool you. It can turn nasty too. Wild December stormy winds, waves and rain brought in from an atmospheric river crash over the Ogden Point Breakwater and engulf a man, swallowing him up. Simultaneously, I was also hit with a wave from the back, soaking me and knocking my glasses off my head, and they flew off over pier.

Snacking

The hungry caterpillar enjoying a well deserved snack. A lovely walk at Rock Point Provincial Park.

Burning Sky

On the edge of St. John's Newfoundland a raging wildfire ignited just a few kilometers from the city and with it, ignited uncertainty and fear as onlookers observed in disbelief. The glowing evening sun created what has become the all too common color of darkening orange mixed with grey and black the often smothers our country.
