#BloomScrolling - Western trilliums (Trillium ovatum) are blooming on Vancouver Island. I photographed that one a few days ago in a second-growth forest. We had light rain at the time. #flowers #photography #nature #NaturePhotography #VancouverIslandWildlife #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia #Canada

I've finally managed to photograph my first orchid. As I was walking in the woods, daydreaming as usual, little bright pink dots caught my attention. There were five fairy slipper (Calypso bulbosa) growing on a bed of moss ready to be photographed. This is the first time that I see orchids in a forest. (Vertical photo: open to see in full). #flowers #orchid #photography #nature #NaturePhotography #VancouverIslandWildlife #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia #Canada

Went to check on 3 bald eagle nests today and 2 of them are occupied. Incubation period is 35 days. Should hatch at the end of the month. Here's a photo of one of the nests taken with a telephoto lens this morning on Vancouver Island. Photo extremely cropped not to give any details about the location of the nest and protect this family of eagles from the crowds. #BaldEagle #photography #wildlife #VancouverIslandWildlife #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia #Canada #birds #BirdsOfMastodon

For #WaterfallWednesday I have this photo taken last week when I was mentoring the 16 year old student from Surrey. This creek is completely dry in the summer. The best time to photograph it is now. It is located in a place known as Xwee Xwhya Luq by the K'ómoks people, in what is called today Courtenay. #photography #nature #NaturePhotography #mosstodon #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia #Canada

We interrupt your regular program for a photo of the current situation on Vancouver Island where the moss has taken over the trails and trees. Feel free to close your eyes and imagine that you are walking barefoot on cushiony moss. #mosstodon #photography #LandscapePhotography #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia #Canada #nature #NaturePhotography

Foxglove in all its splendour. I love the shape and bright colour of this flower. #BloomScrolling #photography #flowers

One year ago I published my third and best photo book to date. Vancouver Sun gave it a great review and I have sold copies worlwide. If you love nature and wildlife and are curious about Vancouver Island, this book has photos of bears, whales, otters, birds, etc. and landscapes. You can only order it from me (not avail. on Amazon or other big corporations) so you're not enriching a billionaire but supporting a small business owned by a woman. Order here
