  • 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,…

  • Hope

    When I went grocery shopping the other day I picked up some lettuce and spinach seeds. It finally is starting to feel like spring (although there is snow in the forecast for tomorrow) and just having the seeds in my possession is giving me hope that, yes, maybe this never-ending winter will actually end. So,…

  • Plaza de la Catedral (Cathedral Square), Havana

    In Feburary 2009 we went to Varadero, Cuba for our winter vacation.  Cuba is an interesting place to take pictures, and even though it wasn’t my favourite destination, I would like to go back just to take pictures (also because I think I’m a better photographer now and have a better camera!).  It’s a very…

  • Grand Canyon of Yellowstone

    In the summer of 2008, we went on a road trip through South Dakota to the Black Hills and then on to Yellowstone.  It was on this trip that I started to become more interested in photography and to put some thought into taking pictures rather than pointing the camera at something and just shooting.…

  • Maui in the evening

    “I went to Maui to stay a week and remained five. I never spent so pleasant a month before, or bade any place goodbye so regretfully. I have not once thought of business, or care or human toil or trouble or sorrow or weariness, and the memory of it will remain with me always.” ― Mark…
