Algonquin Reflection
This photo was taken in Algonquin Provincial Park on Lake Opeongo on a particularly calm day. The shoreline reflections were almost perfect and I thought the contrast between the vibrant green of the living trees and the grey of the dead ones made an interesting statement about natural renewal.
Black Swallowtail Caterpillars
I often photograph caterpillars in late summer when they're most active. Most common are Monarch and Wooly Bears but on this occasion, I saw several Black Swallowtails. I noticed these two feeding on the same plant and photographed them together as they were climbing to the top.
Columbian Ground Squirrel
This image was taken while on a hike in Banff National Park. I got to a clearing and noticed several of these Columbian Ground Squirrels scurrying around very busily. I focused on one as he gathered some leaves and then paused to eat and got this shot from ground level.
Coyote
This coyote, one of a pack of three has been roaming the parks and backyards of my Thornhill neighbourhood for about a year now. Unfortunately, following a number of attacks on pets, authorities are now on the lookout for them but, so far, the coyotes have proven elusive. This one has been a frequent visitor to our yard and is seen here on the edge of our patio.
Grizzly Bear and Cub
I was photographing grizzly bears feeding on salmon in British Columbia and marveled at how adept they are at catching the fish. Cubs, however, are not so skilled and often struggle to get a meal. This cub saw his mother with a fish and decided to nuzzle in and see if he could get a taste of his mother's snack.
