Eastern Gray Timber Wolf: A wider angle view of the Eastern Gray Timber Wolf I came face to face with on the Track and Tower Trail in Algonquin Park. Although I like my other image of the wolf set against a stark snow white background, I think I prefer this image that captures some of the surrounding forest.

Reynisdrangar (Viewed from Vik): The Reynisdrangar Basalt Sea Stacks viewed from the shoreline of the picturesque village of Vik. Photographed just before Blue Hour, I just loved the green grass foreground set against a Magenta setting sun, the cool blue ocean waters, and the silhouette of Reynisdrangar in the background. Such a peaceful moment in time.

Eastern Gray Timber Wolf: First time out with my Camera after my knee surgeries and I decider to stop at the Track and Tower Trail in Algonquin Park. To my shock, just a few metres up the trail I came face to face with this beautiful lone Eastern Gray Timber Wolf. Had the fortunte of getting to spend about 10 minutes with this stunning animal before she wondering off into the forest.

Templo del Dios del Viento - Tulum: Situated on a cliff overlooking the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico stands the Mayan Ruin, Templo del Dios del Viento (Temple of the Wind God). This was one of the more challenging images I have ever taken as I blew out my knee getting down to the base of the cliff to capture this image (knee surgery 9 months later). I did get the shot though.

Gullfoss (Golden Falls): Gullfoss is one of the most spectacular Waterfalls in all of Iceland. It is a massive waterfall which is composed of two distinct steps which fall at 90-degree angles to one another. The upper tier cascades down a 12.5 metres (41 ft) rock staircase that spans nearly 240 metres (800 ft) across. The water then rushes into a narrow throat and plunges down 32 metres (105 ft) into a lower canyon. This image is a little tricky to capture because of the vast amount of mist given off by the falls. Be prepared to get absolutely soaked if you stand here.

Osprey In Flight: Captured this Osprey majestically hunting close to its nest in the Kawartha Highlands near Balsam Lake. This large raptor was more than 60 cm (24 in) in length wth a wingspan of about 180 cm (71 in).

Pine Warbler: Captured this little yellow Pine Warbler perched on a tree stump outside of our Lakehouse in the Algonquin Highlands (Ontario, Canada).

Sleeping Galapagos Fur Seal: Captured this close-up image of a sleeping Galapagos Fur Seal soaking up some sunshine on the beach in Punta Suarez, Espanola Island, Galapagos. If you look closely you can see a fly on his nose.
