  • Perfect location for a scary movie

    We were traveling from one inlet to the next, and passed this old cannery on Princess Royal Island.  It spooked me and stirred that part of my imagination that thinks of scary movies.  It would be a perfect location. Remote. Lonely. Old buildings and all the things that could have transpired inside. One stark lightbulb…

  • Creatures of the Forest

    Unlike when you are out for a hike where bears could be present and you want to make as much noise as possible so they know they are sharing the forest, when you are bear watching from a zodiac or other boat the goal is to be as quiet as possible.  Many times we’d turn…

  • Chocolate Lilies

    Many of the inlets we visited were full of beautiful wild flowers, some of which I’d never seen before…like the chocolate lily.

  • Afternoon Reflections in the Great Bear Rainforest

    Just a quick post this morning…the water was so calm on our trip through the Great Bear Rainforest and this is just the first of many reflection shots. This one was taken as we were heading back to the boat after an afternoon on the zodiac.

  • Fuzzy the Young Grizzly

    This is Part 3 of my adventures in the Great Bear Rainforest. We spent two nights at our first anchorage. This was one of the views… We found Fuzzy the three year old Grizzly Trish and Eric have been following since he was a wee cub (Fuzzy is the name they’ve given him).  He’s now…

  • My Great Bear Rainforest Adventure – Part 2

    The seaplane trip from Prince Rupert to Hartley Bay was 45 minutes – I’m generally not prone to motion sickness but we hit a few air pockets that had my stomach in my mouth, but I managed to pull it together and continue taking pictures from the plane. I can’t say I loved the seaplane…

  • My Great Bear Rainforest Adventure – Part 1 (Pics Only Version)

    Once we arrived in Hartley Bay, British Columbia to meet the boat, Great Bear II, our adventure in the Great Bear Rainforest took us through some of the most spectacular scenery one could ever hope to see. It was nature at its best and I feel so lucky to have witnessed it.  My country is…

  • My Great Bear Rainforest Adventure – Part 1

    I turned 40 a few months ago.  I spent a lot of year 39 thinking about turning 40 and wanted to mark the occasion with something memorable. Last November, I googled “bear watching” as I’ve loved (and been terrified) of bears since I was about five years old when there was a bear in our…

  • Somewhere on the Douglas Channel

    Back in Prince Rupert tonight and then on to Vancouver in the morning for a few more days of vacation. This was taken on the way back to Hartley Bay to catch the seaplane to Prince Rupert. It was a spectacular week – can’t wait to share the pictures!

  • Sunset In Prince Rupert

    After a day of flying on Sunday…Regina to Calgary to Vancouver to Prince Rupert this sunset was the reward. Tomorrow is the seaplane trip to meet the boat at a small aboriginal fishing village called Hartley Bay. Hopefully the next week will include lots of wildlife viewing and great weather to enjoy the amazing scenery.

  • Great Bear Rainforest

    My big trip is about a week and a half away…I’m excited and a little nervous, but mostly I’m just looking forward to seeing some amazing scenery, and experiencing a part of Canada that not many people know about.  I like the West Coast, especially Tofino and Ucluelet on the West Coast of Vancouver Island,…
