Staying Dry

I have this squirrel that frequents our place, constantly running across the railing on our porch and jumping in between the two trees off the porch. One rainy morning, I saw the squirrel keeping dry under the branches of the juniper tree. It was too cute not to photograph.

Big Smile For the Camera

I like to think this California Bighorn Ram was smiling at my camera, but in reality, he was performing the Flehmen response. This is a behaviour they use to detect pheromones from a ewe, typically during breeding season.

Go Chasing Waterfalls

Something not a lot of people know, is that Clinton is home to some waterfalls. Lots of locals that have lived here for 30 plus years, haven't even been to them before, and they are so close to where we live. The water flow is so good right now, they are much fuller than what they are in the summer months. There are three waterfalls all within a short walking distance of each other, and each one you hike to, is even better than the last one.

The Arctic Wanderer

I captured this polar bear in mid stride, navigating the snow covered landscape with sparce vegetation and I am amazed at how the bear's creamy white coat provides excellent camouflage in this Arctic environment! My dream trip!

A Majestic Predator

The intense gaze of this polar bear sent shivers up and down my spine! Knowing that polar bears are the largest land carnivores on Earth just added to my nervous state. I have wanted to witness this for a long time!

Arctic King

This large polar bear stands in the snowy, Churchill landscape and I am beyond thrilled to witness this event. The bear has thick, creamy-white fur and dark eyes and nose. Its large paws are visible on the snow-covered ground. All is quiet!

Motherhood in the Arctic!

A day on the Churchill tundra brought us close to the bears waiting for Hudson By to freeze! The highlight was a mother with her two cubs moving along the shoreline - an unforgettable glimpse into the family life of these northern giants!

Majesty In The Snow

A day on the Churchill Tundra brought us close to the polar bears waiting for the Hudson Bay to freeze. We watched lone bears wander the snow, dig, sniff and interact with their frozen world, each showing a different posture or mood! Every moment revealed the strength, vulnerability, and quiet beauty of polar bears in their natural home!

Lake Louise

Spent some time here this summer - Lake Louise is renowned for its vivid turquoise water, which is a result of rock flour (silt) carried into the lake by meltwater from surrounding glaciers

This season we had a forest fire in Squamish and our local pilots helped out
