Sentinel

In the heart of the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Sanctuary, wildlife thrives in perfect balance. While the bears forage the shorelines below, this regal sentinel claims the highest fir branch, keeping a fierce and watchful eye on the estuary

Some young bird

When they are so young it is almost impossible to identify. Most likely a warbler

The Boss - Bear 122

Bear 122 Grizzly Bear has become to be known as 'The Boss'. He has roamed and dominated the Banff Bow Valley and Kootenay National park for over 15 years. His only known rival has been 'Split Lip', but The Boss has been able to fend him off for many years and remain the dominate bear in the Bow Valley.

Ready to throw a punch (1)

The juvenile Ram on the left was hoping for a challenge but slowed down when the other Ram did not rise to meet his challenge.

The juvenile Ram on the left was expecting a full on crash but slowed down when the other Ram did not rise to meet his challenge.

Instead of going in for a big impact the juvenile Ram on the left just comes in offering just a little bump it almost looks like he is respecting the other rams wishes not to go at full speed :)

Travel Memories

As if Khutzey Wilderness Lodge wasn't breathtaking enough... the wilderness sent a rainbow to remind us that the most extraordinary moments are always the ones you never see coming.

Bull Moose on a misty morning

This was an encounter that will be etched in my memory for a long time. I was hiking on a trail and heard some noises. I approached cautiously and saw this magnificent bull moose grazing. I was lucky I had my camera with me to take this photo.

Osprey Locked on after a failed attempt

Osprey while hunting in a local pond came with a plastic cup in its talons. This shot was taken after it dropped it and moved on for the next target.

Lupins from Above

How do you take a photo of a wildflower like the lupin that has been photographed countless times and have others see it differently? It all comes down to perspective. We often see photos of the beautiful vertical blooms against the backdrop of a field of other lupins or the ocean and they are all no doubt beautiful. But while walking through a small patch of lupins, where the backdrop wasn't particularly exhilarating, I wanted to get creative. Then I looked down and the lightbulb went off. I had never really paid attention to what a lupin looked like from the perspective of looking down at it, and so I got out my camera and experimented. It paid off. There were details of the flower I had not noticed before, colours peaking out we don't see while looking at the flower from the side. This shot of a purple lupin that I took has now changed the way I look at these beautiful blooms, and I'm grateful for having yet another way to enjoy these wildflower. The best time to see lupins in Newfoundland is from late June through mid-July. Residents and visitors can enjoy them in colours like purple, pink and blue. Photo is taken in Port-Aux-Basque, Newfoundland.
