  • storm clouds at sunset

    This post could also have been called “When Clouds Attack” as the ominous colour of the clouds seemed surreal to me.  I took these pictures about a month ago after a storm that came and went very suddenly.  It was about 9 o’clock, and close to getting dark, when I went outside to investigate picture…

  • Sir Paul McCartney at Mosaic Stadium

    Last night was a pretty fantastic night in the Queen City.  Sir Paul McCartney was in town and played to a sold-out Mosaic Stadium (I think that was the final word – there was some debate beforehand why it didn’t sell-out sooner).  I’m not a Paul McCartney superfan, but I definitely knew I was going…

  • Hot Springs for the Weary Traveler

    I’m not naming many of the inlets we visited on our trip through the Great Bear Rainforest because most of the other tour operators don’t visit them, and we were asked not to name them if we were posting stories/photos on the internet once we got home. However, the hot springs at Bishop Bay (where…

  • like being in another world

    I’m back to posting pics from my trip to the Great Bear Rainforest off the coast of Northern British Columbia.  This was my favourite morning of the trip (and actually the last morning of the trip as we were heading back to Hartley Bay to catch the seaplane back to Prince Rupert and then on…

  • My Saskatchewan

    Today is Saskatchewan Day (which means it’s a long weekend here) so I thought I’d share a few pictures I’ve taken in the last few weeks, including some of my favourite places in Saskatchewan.

  • Evening in the Great Bear Rainforest

    Prior to the trip, I imagined spending evenings on the deck of the boat watching the setting sun with my camera by my side and a book in my hands.  Since the Great Bear Rainforest is fairly far north and the trip was the week before the summer solstice, it didn’t get dark until about…

  • My Favourite Bear

    My Favourite Bear

    I love bears! This trip came to be when I googled “bear watching” back in November and looking to do something memorable to celebrate the “big 4-0” this year.  This trip was so much more than just bear watching, but to be able to watch bears munching on grass while being perfectly aware of seven…

  • Harlequin Duck

    Just a quick post today…this is a male Harlequin Duck in one of the inlets we visited in the Great Bear Rainforest. We saw Harlequins quite frequently when we were traveling through estuaries in the zodiac, but it was difficult to get a decent picture.  I took this one from quite far away.  They fly…

  • happy

    I loved this wildflower meadow…these yellow flowers just look happy.

  • Morning Spent By A Waterfall

    There are many waterfalls in the Great Bear Rainforest, but this is the one we got closest to.  In fact, most of us stuck our hands out to the feel the rushing water. We spent quite a lot of time here taking pictures of the waterfall and the meadow of wildflowers, but we all either…

  • Shooting Star

    One of my favourite parts of the trip through the Great Bear Rainforest was walking in meadows of wildflowers (although sometimes the ground was very uneven and full of holes and I fell once – I’m kind of klutzy – and we were in an inlet that you could only get in and out of…

  • Calm

    It was easy to take reflection pictures, when the water was so calm.
