Recently Wild

As the title suggests, I want to present some recent images fitting a WILDerness theme.
First, here are a couple of Bighorn rams’ figuring out who’s got the "rights'" - taken while I was visiting the Chilcotin area of British Columbia in November:





The majestic Chilcotin River (I will be coming back!):


I want to thank this particularly beautiful Okanagan whitetail deer fawn. She was waiting for her pals to join her before vanishing:


Also, here are a couple of backyard visitors that we have been privileged to watch in the past couple of months:




Thanks for visiting!

Sometimes, it’s best to wait.

These little falls has been waiting to be photographed. A couple of days ago, a gusty wind came through and it rained, hard. Ah yes, fresh fallen leaves and soaking wet colours.

Pure love.


The love of mother and child - raw, powerful and innocent. Colleen, Adam and I spent some time exploring (actually Adam was exploring – Colleen and I were simply keeping up) the fall colours last weekend. Thank you, for spending this time with me you two - enjoy!

Trail riding


Westbank has a wonderful trail that runs along our lake’s edge. Sarah and Grant were willing models along this bike path; capturing more tourism related imagery for the Westbank Chamber. Thanks guys!

Been travelling – San Francisco and Berkeley


Brother Brian is working hard at his PhD from University of California, so I took a few days to visit him and tour the cities in the area. Touring the area mostly by foot; we had some great fun and a few laughs. Thanks Brian, keep up the good work there at Cal!
