A tranquil multi-tiered waterfall within the forests of Northwestern British Columbia.

A beautiful display of Mammatus clouds over the edge of a blooming canola field while chasing storms across the eastern Alberta prairie yesterday with good friends @shane_turgeon & @russ_vanderleer.

A beautiful grizzly sow which I've nicknamed Scarface that I had the good fortune to spend some quiet time observing recently as she went about being a bear, while her cubs played in the background.*As always, all bear photos are taken from a distance with a telephoto lens from a vehicle.
