This photo was from many years ago when I took a trip along the BC coast! What a rush to see this family group of Orcas!

Walking through the forest and finding this Northern Hawk Owl on a low lying branch was so thrilling. It was so close I could feel my heart beating faster with excitement. It’s in moments like this when you’re eye to eye with a wild animal that even though you’re being as quiet as possible you wonder if it can hear your heart beating.

There is something so cool about Bison. Their strength and resilience is incredible to witness. Watching Bison cut their own trail through the tremendous amount of snow in Yellowstone is incredible. With challenges of both the cold and the relentless wind meeting them with every step yet they forge on like it’s nothing

This sweet cub tapped its mama on the face, over and over, again and again and she was as gentle as can be allowing her little one to amuse himself. The sweet bear family interactions we see are so special and show so much of each animals personality. They have so many tender moments like these.

The beautiful green of this lake! Mountain lakes are perfection!

Ahh the color of fireweed!!
