Beautiful glacier lilies at edge of Frozen Lake (off Elk Pass trail). These plants were an important food source for some indigenous groups as well as for grizzlies. From a July 2019 hike. I sure miss the Tower Climb.

Red Rock Canyon
The foothills are wonderful places, where you can see many ecosystems in the same image. Poor weather and intermittent cloud are gold for landscapes; variegated lighting lends depth, and rain brings out the saturation.

A young Lynx peering out at me near Hinton, AB. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this Lynx cross the road in front of me. After scrambling to get my camera from under camping gear, I thought it would be long gone. Luckily this was a curious cat!

Best Foot Forward
Near Highway 40 in Kananaskis, I scrambled about 30m above grade and shot this image from across the road, so I could give these beautiful residents the space they deserve. As guests in their home, we must respect their space.

Urban Wildlife- Even the big city can harbor wild creatures you wouldn’t usually expect. This Great Horned Owl would normally be nighttime hunter in the forest, but one decided to perch upon a neighbors fence for a nap during a winters day.

This juvenile rattlesnake reacted to a group of photographers hiking through Dinosaur Provincial Park in fall of 2018. Luckily the group saw the snake, as its rattle was too small to make noise.

This old Jack Pine is on a sand ridge near Lost Lake, a once lovely wetland that has all but dried up, along with similar ones throughout the Sandhills. The tree has has a few rungs attached by Marcel Fournier, an indigenous elder from the Beaver First Nation to the north.
