I was watching several gulls by the side of the lake, deciding which one to take pictures of. Just then this young gull started to fly near me, it was bit tricky as it looked as if it was flying directly toward me. In the end I got the picture I wanted.

This male was resting in the tall grass in the early hours of the day. Every now and then it would stick its head just above the grass. It could be the insects or perhaps wondering what I was up to. What was I up to? Just wanting to get a picture when its eyes were visible.

She was standing there surrounded by small field full of daisies. This female white-tailed deer is much older, but I was reminded of bambi and had to stop to take this picture.

Light rain was falling on hundreds of wood lilies before me and just enough light to get out among them to take pictures. It's a beautiful flower, even more with rain helping to saturate their colours. Just kept looking for the right combination of flower or flowers with the right background, out of all the pictures I took that morning this one was my favourite.

Few weeks back I was traveling in my car with rain falling. As I looked ahead, the sun was trying to push through, so I had a quick look back and could see part of a rainbow. I quickly found a place to park and got the camera ready in the car as to avoid getting the it wet. Then stepped outside and grabbed few pictures of not one but two rainbows.

This beautiful grizzly was somewhat camouflaged with the background, but still spotted making its way across. Mating season is over and the focus is now on just doing lot of eating. We're in the middle of the summer now, but lot of time is required to put on enough fat to survive the coming winter. For the female grizzly, if she has a fertilized egg, it multiplies briefly and then stops, it floats in the uterus. Giving the female the summer to fatten up and if she gets enough fat, the egg will implant and begin to grow.

Spent number of hours in the evening and in the early morning over the last few weeks near a Rufous Hummingbird's nest. Observing and learning their behaviour and taking many pictures as I fed the mosquitoes. The mother and her offspring are probably making their way south now, leaving me with pictures and memories. One of my favourite picture was taken few weeks back, the mother feeding one of her hatchlings.

Caught this bear few weeks back, sitting there middle of the dandelions. Only moving when it could not reach for more food. Life of a bear.

The male adult bringing a small fish for the three young mouths and the female adult. The three young ospreys just back of the nest will be able to look after themselves in a week or so and then both parents will be fishing and feeding the ever hungry mouths.

Sometime the picture is just there for the taking. I was about 10 meters away and had to move slowly so as not to disturb the Northern Shoveler to take this picture. As I moved into position, it kept an eye on me. Got the low angle I was looking for and then quickly took few pictures before moving on, leaving the bird resting on one leg.

Johnston Canyon is a fun and a popular place to hike, few days ago I was there about 6 am, had the whole trail to myself. After reaching the Lower Falls, a 1.1 km walk, I quickly hiked another 1.6km to the Upper Falls. Did not even try to take pictures from the base of this fall, too much water being sprayed in my face. Even from the view top of the fall, the mist was of concerned, but not enough to stop me from taking few pictures.

For number of years I have been trying to get a picture of Numa Falls in Kootenay National Park, but something always was not right. But few days ago it all came together, the water level was good and the mist created by the small waterfall helped saturated the colours of the rocks. Then it was just a matter of finding the right amount of time for the exposure, in this case it was six seconds.

Mountain Blue-Eyed-Grass is a beautiful little flower, this one was spotted while visiting northern part of Banff National Park. With the summer full on, there never seems to be enough time to take pictures of everything that I come across. But for this picture I only needed few seconds.

One way to keep cool during warm weather, this grizzly was taking a roll in a small pool of water next to the road.

For the first few years the grizzly bear cubs don't have a care in the world, their mother providing the protection and the food needed to grow big and strong. But eventually a day arrives when they have to face the world on their own. This might be the case for this cub, all along, looking very nervous and frighten. But if the mother did a good job, it will slowly gain strength and courage by applying the lessons learned.
