Mr Mallard

Make no bones about it, I get excited watching the less common waterfowl that overwinter on the local creeks and ponds, but there is just something special about the Mallard. Maybe a comforting familiarity or perhaps their mild demeanor and wonderful quacking. Anyway, this guy sure stood out the other day. Well dressed in his finest breeding feathers saying what needed to be said in such a simple way.

Exploring a vast field of kelp on a foggy day felt like walking in a strange land. A land without time. Photographed on a foggy summer morning on Vancouver Island, BC.

I felt like paparazzi stalking the Oscar winning leading man as I followed a male Bufflehead and his group of ladies down the creek as they were out for an afternoon stroll.

U-Turns Allowed

Just as we turned a corner while skiing on the Blacktail plateau we came across this guy having breakfast. We watched him for a minute but when he stomped his front hoof and gave us a grunt knew it was time for Quick U turn. We did not get to ski to our planned destination but it was a good day nonetheless.
