A Mallard Backflip

Something that I had never seen before. It was quite surprising.

Pisew Falls at Night

Pisew Falls is the second-highest waterfall in Manitoba.

Shh...Dreamin!

Harbor seals will haul out onshore and docks. Seals come ashore mainly to save energy, manage body temperature, and support vital life activities such as molting, giving birth, nursing, and evading aquatic predators. You can see them on the shorelines and docks around Vancouver Island, like this sleepy one trying to nap, but the constant bustle of a busy marina keeps interrupting nap time.

Meet my Neighbor

This is my neighbor "Jerry." I know, how original, right? Jerry, a red squirrel lives in and around my yard, which is more like a small orchard tucked away from city life in a rustic setting in the Kootenays, BC. On this day, he was up on my grape trellis, likely checking on the vintage of my ripening grapes. I have all kinds of fruit-bearing trees, and Jerry likes to help himself... often taking one bite out of everything... LOL!

Great Grey Owl in a snowing day

When in the morning I saw that it was snowing I went looking for this beautiful animal hunting in the field.

Sweet little chickadee

Chickadees are such friendly little birds. This chickadee landed on a branch nearby on a cold February morning. This little cutie remained still just long enough to capture this photo before carrying on from branch to branch.

Busy Beaver

This busy beaver came up through a hole in the ice to have an evening snack in early spring.

Just checking the power

Finally after a long wait and long spring ten grizzlies are out

Tiny bee tiny buttercup

I captured this photo of a tiny bee on a tiny buttercup using a macro lens. I love the vibrant colours and how you can see the detail in both the flower and the bee.

Snack time

I captured this photo of a beaver after it popped up out of a hole in the melting ice in early spring.

Caterpillars in fall

Heron Lift Off

Cute squirrel

When your nose is cold on a frosty morning and you remember you have a soft fluffy tail

Glistening Loon

I captured this photo a common loon just as the sun was setting. The light was in just the right place to make the water appear to glisten around the loon.

Mixed up Blue Jay!

I was invited to a friend's yard to see her Blue Jay! We live in Central BC so it is on the wrong side of the Rockies! Sure wish we got these colorful birds regularly as it has quite the personality!

Early Morning Loon

I spotted this common loon swimming along the shoreline one early morning. The water was so still allowing the loons reflection to show.
