Polar Bear
There was supposedly a Polar Bear hanging out at that small island off the far point the day I took this picture. I really just wanted to post some nice late night sky, calm water and ice photos, but I'm still stinging from the criticism that I throw up too many photos without something to…

Puzzled
I've been watching the pair of Pacific Loons at the outflow, ever since we first saw them in early July. It has become a part of our daily ritual to drive out and see what has been happening out there. And not just the Pacific Loons, but they are so accessible and slightly exotic for…

Northern Fulmar. Now without the vomit
There were Narwhal in both Victor Bay three nights ago, and Arctic Bay in the early morning two days ago. We saw neither, but the last couple of evenings we have headed over to Victor Bay, checking just in case. Last night it was already midnight when we returned, and after we dropped off Leah's…

Vast
Last night I stood on the shore of Marcil Lake, looking off in the distance. The kids were busy trying to catch Char fry in the small streamlets, Leah and her sister were off picking blueberries. As I stood in front of the mirrored surface of the lake, and children's shouts faded away from my…

A keeper
I think this photo from tonight's drive is a keeper.

At the cusp of darkness
This is near midnight in the shadows of the hills, with low clouds obscuring the Sun. This first photo is underexposed a stop to bring out the colour, and I lightened the little patch of fog to highlight it. If you look really closely you can see the family of Red-throated Loons tucked in at…

Adam’s Sound’s cliffs.
Down along the north side of Adam's Sound, cliffs that have horizontal strata, suddenly change to a series of blocks lifted at an angle. They are impressive looking from across the sound, but near them one realizes they are also stepped in a couple of layers. It is most impressive geology, and a drop dead…

Moon under the midnight’s Sun.
