About halfway between Prince George and McBride, BC there is a park called the Ancient Forest. It’s an inland rain forest that has some huge cedars. It not only gets a lot of rain, but a lot of snow and this is what it looked like when we were there last month.

A few weeks ago we went for a walk along our local river and came across this coyote. There was also a guy walking his dog and the coyote was actively stalking them. He was following them along the frozen river and would come up on the river bank to approach once in a while so that the man would have to make a sudden movement to chase him back down onto the river. A good reminder for people with dogs to keep them on a leash. Click on the individual photos to see larger versions and exif details.

I was lucky enough to come across this female moose again in Grey Nuns White Spruce Park in #stalbert. I had a mostly unobstructed view of her this time which allowed me to get this lovely portrait.⁠

Moose in the tall grass

I managed to spot this moose in Grey Nuns White Spruce Park yesterday, thanks only to her ears sticking out above the tall grass. This was the best shot I could get while maintaining a safe distance without disturbing her and her calf.

This is a collection of bird photos that I captured recently in our local wetlands. I was most excited about the great blue heron. Normally he stays on the opposite side of the river and is tough to get close to, but this time he was near my side and I was able to get a couple good shots of him. The cedar waxwing was another one I was very happy to have gotten close enough to and that he stayed put for long enough to photograph. Also shown are a lesser scaup (the duck), a goldfinch, a red-winged blackbird and a Franklin’s gull that I managed to capture in flight.
