Elk Calf

 

Few days old elk calf walking behind its mother. Ready to face challenges of surviving what nature has to give. Predators will be coming after it, if it survives them,  then it will face its first winter. Lots of work ahead, as calves have less than a 50 percent chance of survival.

Mountain Goat

 

The mother sat there for most of the time, as the kid full of energy jumped up and down with dirt flying into the air. Then heading butting a branch for several minutes before a Raven landed nearby. The kid moved toward the Raven, the Raven keeping its distance until it flew away. More head butting followed, all this went on for some twenty minutes. After that the one year old mountain goat went over to its mother and sat down next to her.

Calypso Orchid

 I took this picture few weeks ago while walking through the forest serching for birds. They were small pathes scatterd on the forest ground, whenever I came across one I would take few pictures. From that morning walk, I got few okay pictures of birds but much better pictures of this beautiful floewer.

Canada Geese

These golden goslings guarded by their parents were moving through the fast moving water. It was a partially cloudy morning and I had front of me three different families of geese, one had two goslings, another five and this one six. I was moving my camera from one to another, but I stayed with this family when they started to move through the rays of sunlight. As soon as the six goslings lit up under the light, they had my full attention.

Bighorn Sheep

It was a gathering of most of the male Bighorn Sheep that hang out in the Mount Norquay area. I spotted them all sitting in a open area at the end of the day. I am so used to taking picture of wildlife as they move from one area to another. Here I was doing the moving around, to get the best angle for the picture. I would have had preferred my wide lens to get all the males in the frame, but I was not carrying that with me. So it was the zoom lens that got used to get this picture.

Mallard Duck

There were two ducklings looking for breakfast under the watch of their mom. I had to wait for a clear picture of them, for a while thy worked among the grass. Once they came to the open, the light was right and the colours even better for picture taking.

American Redstart

I got a email the other day from friends that among the flowered trees were American Redstart in the in their back alley. Soon I was there and after couple of hours I made my way home with a memory card full of memories. I got lot of keepers but one of my favourite is this one of a female redstart.

Grizzly

I do pass on more pictures then I take, always waiting for something different to take place. I'll forget about everything else and only focus only on where my subject is. Because with wildlife things happen fast, sometimes you only get a second or two to get the picture you have been waiting for.

Ring-necked Duck

I do have lot of fun when I am taking pictures of birds. They come in so many shape and sizes and in so many colours. When I take their picture, I want to show their beauty and the wonderful surrounding they are found in.

Canada Geese

Spotted these little guys yesterday morning. With the sun light coming from the left side and dew on the ground, everything looked golden. The parents were to the side, which made it easier to isolate these three goslings. Rest was straight forward.

Grizzly and Coyotes

This young grizzly being escorted by two coyotes, one visible in this picture. More then likely the bear had gotten too close to the den belonging to the coyotes. The two were determined but kept a safe distance from a possible charge by the grizzly. You never know what you going to see out there.

Moose

One of the best thing a photographer needs to do to get pictures, after learning how to use their equipment and learning about the subjects and in my case many subjects, is to get outside. There is no easy solution when it comes to shooting wildlife then that. In the mountains there is no one place where all the wildlife is waiting for to be seen. It is a simple formula, the more you get out the more you will see. Moose is an nice example, there is no one place in the park where one can see them on a daily basis, but the amount of times I get out, I know I will see one or more every few weeks.

Moose

The moose was about 100 meters away, walking through the calm water in the evening. The calm water helped reflect the beautiful colours of the trees and the willow shrubs. Making for an interesting picture.

Canada Geese

I saw this during a morning, the mothr goose keeping her goslings warm. When I saw them from a distance I thought there were just two geese by the river, but as I got closer I started to see the the right wing extended outward. And when I got a look from the back, I saw the reason. All togeather there where six goslings, staying warm.

Mountain Goat

 This female Mountain Goat was spotted a week ago, licking minerals near the bottom of the valley. Few weeks from now they will start losing their winter coat, so its was good to get pictures of them before that takes place.

Northern Lights

Few nights back I was out there like many others to see and or take pictures of the Northern Lights. The naked eyes were seeing subtle changes in the night sky, but thanks to the modern camera and its sensitive sensor, the beautiful greens were clearly visible. The light result of charges particles from the sun hitting the atoms in the Earth's atmosphere, causing the electrons to charge up. When they charge down, they release a photon, which we see as the beautiful Northern Lights.

Mount Rundle

I was at Two Jack Lake to take a pictures of the sunrise, there were two geese in the area, one in and one out of water. Just as I was about to take the pictures, the goose on the land walks into the lake, causing ripples. But after few minutes it found a position it liked and stop moving. They stayed still, just occasionally staring at me while I took the pictures.
