Even in the middle of the winter there is the warm glow of the afternoon sun to temper the chill off the cold pacific ocean. A bit of contrast therapy to help recover from those weekend chores…or fun. Mendocino Headlands, Mendocino, CA.

Northern Harrier
Taking a break from patrolling the marsh a Northern Harrier enjoys the morning sun while hidden in the reeds. Mackerricher State Park, Northern California.
Spring Island Sunset
A little midwinter warmth we picked up in Spring Island off the west coast of Vancouver Island last August. Stored in a well sealed container and brought out for just the right occasion.
Without Time
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.
A Cormorants Flight
How fun it would be to see what this Cormorant sees. Mendocino Coast, CA.
Surf Scooter
My first thoughts upon seeing this Surf Scooter (just a speck in that big ocean) hanging out taking on the crashing waves and doing it seamlessly was pure amazement. How can a species be so well adapted to such a crazy environment. Then on second thought I guess they are no different than humans speeding along on a snow covered highway during Monday morning rush hour. Nature finds a way.
Wind and water
Wind and water waving hello on a stormy afternoon in the Pacific Ocean. Hello.
On a cloudy afternoon
Looking out from camp on a cloudy afternoon after a wet day of kayaking in the Acous Peninsula, British Columbia. I love the repetitive pattern of kelp, black rock, white rock that is prevalent in the landscape in this region because even cloudy days are filled with color.
Seeking Solitude
Leon, a new found friend from a recent kayaking trip, seeking solitude in a vast expanse where sea and sky seem as one. Vancouver Island, BC.
