Half and Half | Canadian Rockies I had a great opportunity the other week when I ran into this young bear as I was photographing a small run-off Creek along the backside of Mt. Kerkeslin. I was able to spend about half an hour with this bear as he grazed and open field of lush green grass and fresh dandelions. I have truly missed working with wildlife and I have feeling more will be coming soon. Share with friends & […]

Mothers Love | Jasper National Park I captured a moment of either immense bravery or complete stupidity, watching a 25lb mother coyote chase off and defend her den against a 400lb grizzly Bear, the grizzly trotted away as if it was being pursued by a bear twice its size. The entire event only lasted about 5 minutes however the mother coyote was brave enough to not only chase him away, but the follow him across an open field to the […]
Working with Wildlife | Canadian Rockies After spending countless hours with this herd of Elk, it seemed that no matter what I did, I couldn’t capture that key photo that I was striving for, it was so frustrating.

Monarch | Mt. Robson BC I’m back with the Grizzlies of the Mt. Robson Valley. This young male had just fallen asleep in front of me, after I had followed him all day. He only woke when the sound of my feet cracked the dry brush beneath me. Check out those Claws! As my work in the Mt. Robson Valley and along the Fraser River continues, I’ll be sure to see my new friend again. Share with friends & family! […]
Pooch | Project Pyramid On my way home I happened to notice this proud looking pooch walking alongside the road. I quickly got out of the car and followed him to a more secluded location where I took this photo. He didn’t seem to mind my being there and almost relished in the attention.

Alces alces | Maligne Lake, Jasper National Park Did you know that moose can run up to 35 miles per hour? They can also move quickly in water. Moose are very good swimmers and they can swim about 6 miles per hour. That is quite impressive for a creature with four long, skinny legs. (wildernessclassroom.com) Get Out And Explore!

Family Time | Athabasca River, Jasper National Park After spending countless hours tracking this herd of Elk over the past week, I captured this outstanding shot when the herd crossed the Athabasca River to get to a new feeding patch on the other side. The patience it takes to get a photo like this is worth it when you’re able to capture a moment in time, that most never see. Get out and Explore! Share with friends & family!

The Mocking | Athabasca River, Jasper National Park Here are the first photos of a series I’ve been working on tracking and photographing the Elk herds in Jasper National Park. This might be one of the most adorable photos I’ve ever taken. He was obviously feeling a little silly and seemed to mock me. Apparently this little one thinks 4 legs are better than 2.
