When you do a failed attempt at grabbing a salmon, you just have to shake it off!

Jack O'lantern Mushrooms
This stump was just covered in them and what a fun find for the end of October.

First you do a Spock Mind Meld and then you remove the evidence.

Big beautiful male grizzly. He swam across the channel in front of us to an island and started flipping rocks in search of crabs and other goodies.

A successful time finding grizzlies on tours leaving Telegraph Cove to Knight Inlet this past week. Saw 17 bears over 2 days - 2 big males and the rest where moms with 2 fuzzy cubs each.

Enjoyed my evening with 3 chilled out bears. My bear season has official begun.

Feeling proud that one of my photos has been used to wrap a bear proof garbage bin on one of our popular trails in town. Remember to "Feed the Bin and Not the Bear!"

This Eagle looked like he was pleading with me to do something about the annoying crow bugging him.

While standing on shore, Orcas from the T036Bs and T099s pods came so close to shore and said a little hello to us.

When you meet up with old friends, who doesn't want to dress up a little bit. This is Transient Orca - T036 (Flapjack) - and she decided to add a kelp necklace to her attire.
