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
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

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.

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.
