#BloomScrolling - This is a white mountain marsh-marigold (Caltha leptosepala) that I photographed a few years ago on a subalpine trail in Vancouver Island. It was growing next to a stream.

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you can find some time to do things that make you happy over the weekend.

Some very busy Cladonia growing on a fencepost.

''Stop and smell the wildflowers!'' said the grizzly cub.

Here's a photo that could be in my Herring Spawn video. This juvenile bald eagle was practicing how to catch a small fish in the big sea.

Let's start the week with a recent photo of a mountain range on Vancouver Island in early morning light. One of the most beautiful place on Earth that I have the privilege to call home.

What's up?

#FungiFriday - This is the type of photos where I spend more time in the field than in post-processing to obtain the result that I want. This is how I approach my work: take the time to properly capture the subject (light, settings, perspective, composition...) in order to avoid spending ''hours'' trying to fix mistakes in post-processing.

What you see here is a gull ''walking'' on the water while pursuing a sea lion that is underwater. We can see the back of the sea lion while it's foraging for herring in the shallow waters. The gull hopes to steal the herring from the sea lion when it emerges. This is a good example of stalking in the natural world.

Someone asked for buffleheads? Here they are enjoying the bounty of the herring spawn, which explains the colour of the sea.

Spot the rough-skinned newt!
