Mortality
I was working in a remote part of Ontario, on a lake North of Pickle Lake where I pulled my boat to shore and caught a glimpse of something white. Upon closer inspection, I saw it was a moose skull covered in moss on the waters edge. The contrast between the living (moss) and dead tissue (moose skull) exaggerates the idea that life and death are symbiotic in nature and part of life's ultimate goal.
Elk in Jasper National Park
I was taking my first road trip to Jasper National Park in Alberta from Thunder Bay, Ontario. My girlfriend at the time was driving when we passed a couple of elk relaxing by the roadside. I yelled at her to pull over in a volume that made her jump at the wheel. As we came to a grinding halt, I grabbed my camera, and safely took a shot from the vehicle (I didn't want to disturb the animals with human interactions) and got one of my favourite photos on my old Nikon D300.

Lunchtime
I was hiking on the Sleeping Giant in Thunder Bay, Ontario when I saw a Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) pouncing on prey at the roadside. I paused and watched him/her for several minutes. He/she was successful and produced a rodent, so I grabbed my camera and fired a few quick shots as it ran off. I was lucky to capture this one where the prey is carried in its mouth, likely back to its den for meal time.
