Autumn Harvest

Framed by the brilliant gold of changing fall leaves, a black bear patiently hunts for salmon, watching the shallow river waters on Vancouver Island, taking advantage of a high-calorie autumn harvest.

Wild Horse's life

I spent two days tracking wild horses, as I am a passionate horse lover. I love seeing them free, but their lives aren't always easy. They travel in small family bands, and it's so interesting to observe how their behaviors differ from one family to another. I found this little group on Wednesday evening on my way back to camp, and I instantly fell in love with this flaxen-mane mare—she was truly stunning. Je suis partie deux jours à la conquête des chevaux sauvages étant une passionnée de chevaux. J'aime les voir libres, mais leur vie n'est pas si facile. Ils se promènent en petit clan/famille. C'est intéressant de voir les comportements d'une famille à l'autre. J'ai trouvé ce petit groupe mercredi soir sur mon retour au camping et j'ai vraiment eu un coup de cœur pour cette jument au crin blond, elle était magnifique.

Milk Mustache

I came upon this mama bear and her cubs as they were fishing in a river. At one point the mama bear walked up on the shore with all three cubs in tow. She then laid down and began nursing them. This photo shows one of them just as it finished nursing. It was such a tender moment to witness.

Great White

Great Egrets become numerous at my local marsh during the early fall, though only a few breed there. I found this one fishing for Sticklebacks (a small freshwater fish) one September morning. He fished all around my blind for about an hour before he caught his fill.

Blue

I was out for a drive on a dirt road and on my way back, I saw a snake in the middle of the road. I swerved to miss it, pulled over and walked over to it. When I got closer, I saw that it was blue, something I have never seen before in a Garter snake. I got down on the ground with my macro and started taking some photos. This snake was pretty curious of me and kept coming in closer to my macro. After I took some photos of it, I helped guide it off the road, in hopes to save it from being run over from any other vehicles. Clinton BC

Beauty

As I was walking our property, I wasn't seeing a whole bunch to photograph. On my walk back, I saw a dragonfly take off from in front of me. I decided to stop and see if it would land somewhere close and it did. The sun was in front of me and I wanted to have the sun behind me, so I crept around, crouched down and took some photos of it from the other side. I couldn't believe the colours of this one, I have never seen anything like it or the purple eyes either. Such an interesting looking dragonfly, which I think is named a Variegated Meadowhawk.

The Unknown

We went up to our property, replacing no trespassing signs with the ones that didn't make it through the fire. I walked around with my macro lens and found this mushroom that was curled upwards and the sunlight hitting it perfectly. I was playing around with my cameras focal point, iso and shutter speed to try and highlight the sunlight hitting the mushroom, really showing off all the details on it. Clinton BC

Golden Beaver

It's the busy time of year for beavers as they get their lodges ready for the winter. It was golden hour when this beaver came out to scout the shore to ensure it was safe for the rest of the colony to come out and start on their jobs. The beaver remained calm, didn't slap its tail and I can only assumed went back to the colony behind the tall grass to inform them it was safe to continue construction. The golden hour light can be reflected in the yellow and blue ripples in the water, which look like they are appearing from the movement of silk.
