  So I am watching Beachcombers on Knowledge Network for the first time because I am an immigrant and was living in another country when it came out. Canadians, British Columbians: tell me more about the show, the cast, the location and things that I should know about this iconic series. #Beachcombers #BritishColumbia #Canada #TV

  One of my busiest time of the year is about to start with the return of the salmon. That annual event attracts a lot of wildlife such as black bears and a keen interest from amateur and pro wildlife photographers. Don't worry if I don't post every day, nothing bad has happened, I will simply spend a lot of time in the field with guests. Long days ahead. I still have some availability for private tours in September if you're interested. #photography #VancouverIslandWildlife

  Update: I sent an official complaint to FP Champagne, Minister of Finance, because my tax return has not been processed by CRA. I sent it 5 months ago. Received a reply 3 weeks later from his Communication office telling me that it is not their responsibility and I shall contact CRA by phone, mail or learn more online. Checked the status of my CRA file online: Service unavailable. Last week I emailed my MP (NDP), his office replied within 2 hours: they are going to help me.

  Ten years ago, I won First Place in the Wildlife category and Best in Show in the Beginner category of the Canadian Armed Forces Imagery Contest for this photo of a gull trying to steal a herring from a sea lion. A few years later, I decided to follow my dream and become a full-time nature photographer. This August will mark 8 years since I started my own business. Being self-employed has its rewards and challenges and is not for everyone. Personally I have no regrets.

  A beautiful encounter last week while tracking a cougar. The deer was nervous. A cougar was spotted there two days prior to my first visit. It is only a matter of time before I see and photograph one. There has been a lot of sightings in different areas in my region recently. #photography #wildlife #nature #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia #VancouverIslandWildlife

  Mid-August to November is when we have the best chances to see and photograph black bears catching salmon on Vancouver Island. One of the most popular times for my photo tours. Two more weeks... 😁

  White mountain marsh-marigold (Caltha leptosepala) photographed on a rainy day near Tahsis a few years ago. I remember the cool breeze on my face and the fresh air from the mountains when I took this photo. There was a small stream in the background. It was a lovely day for a hike. #bloomscrolling #photography #Tahsis #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia #flowers #VancouverIslandWildlife

  Sometimes a little bird will land on a branch close to you and give you enough time to set your camera for a few good photos. The encounter will be short but nice. Then you'll spend a very very long time in bird books and reliable websites to try to identify the little bugger, I mean the little bird. This is a Hammond's flycatcher (Empidonax hammondii) photographed last week while tracking cougars. #photography #BirdsOfMastodon #birds #VancouverIslandWildlife #BritishColumbia

  Spot the Killdeer! The killdeer (Charadrius vociferus) is adept at camouflaging itself in its environment. Last week, I took guests on a private photo tour to a spot where killdeer live and nest. I was hoping they would be able to see and photograph the bird from a respectful distance. Success! #photography #BirdsOfMastodon #birds #wildlife #VancouverIslandWildlife #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia
