Made a new friend in Wells BC where there’s art almost everywhere and the natural beauty will have you planning your return before you leave. Make the time to visit here.

A crow hangs out in front of an old wooden building in Wells, BC.

Stellar's Jay: In a giant Corvid Competition, a raven might win the talent section, but Most Beautiful would have to go to the Stellar's Jay. It's such a treat to hear their crazy call from a nearby tree and know your day is about to get a lot cuter. #jay #birds #birdwatching #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #natgeo #vogel #oiseau #oiseaux #natgeowildlife #bcbirds #explorebc #explorebcparks #burnaby #burnabylake #cangeo #sharecangeo

Some old dirt roads make their way into your heart forever.

A dirt road covered in fallen leaves from the trees standing on both sides of it under a clear blue autumn sky.

Not Her Glam Shot! I picture this Northern Shoveler asking me to delete this photo. But it's hard to look elegant when you are straining dinner through your lamellae. #waterbird #birds #birdwatching #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #natgeo #vogel #oiseau #oiseaux #natgeowildlife #bcbirds #explorebc #explorebcparks #burnaby #deerlake #cangeo #sharecangeo #shoveler #northernshoveler

Picture this, if you will....

A hidden room in a funky hotel with an arcade inside. Yes, it was magical.

Bushtit With Spider: So tiny, so fuzzy, and cute that I had never thought of them as predators before. I think I can safely say that the spider had an entirely different impression. #bushtitoftheday #bushtit #birds #birdwatching #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #natgeo #vogel #oiseau #oiseaux #natgeowildlife #bcbirds #explorebc #explorebcparks #burnaby #cangeo

Towhee, striking a noble pose. I love these flashy guys and their silly screams. #towhee #spottedtowhee #birds #birdwatching #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #natgeo #vogel #oiseau #oiseaux #natgeowildlife #bcbirds #explorebc #explorebcparks #burnaby #burnabylake #cangeo

Pintail Ballet. Sure, every duck makes this flapping motion in the water, but none do it as gracefully and beautifully as a northern pintail. #pintail #northernpintail #shorebird #waterbird #birds #birdwatching #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #natgeo #vogel #oiseau #oiseaux #natgeowildlife #bcbirds #explorebc #explorebcparks #burnaby #burnabylake #cangeo #sharecangeo

This is a female Red-shafted Northern Flicker. Flickers are much easier to spot than most woodpeckers, but that doesn't mean they are any the less interesting. One of my goals for this year is to catch their mating dance when two males will engage in a dance off before a prospective mate.

A Northern Shoveler, who at first glance looks like a dozen other non-descript female ducks, until you notice that huge bill with the built in filter to strain the food from the water. I'm assuming all the other ducks are a little bitter about having to accomplish the job with their tiny little duck lips.

This sweet, unassuming Taiga Flycatcher has created quite a stir around here. She may look to some like just another little brown bird, but it is the first time that one has been reported in Canada and only the second time in North America.

Fast Lane: A snow goose leaves the traffic jam behind. I have wanted to meet a snow goose for quite some time. Instead, I met around 400 of them, as they formed a silly, frenetic, cacophonous mob. #snowgoose #goose #shorebird #birds #birdwatching #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #natgeo #vogel #oiseau #oiseaux #natgeowildlife #bcbirds #explorebc #iona #cangeo

I always think Varied Thrushes are American Robins at first glance because they are shaped quite similarly, but I'm always quite thrilled when they aren't, Because frankly, Robins are everywhere, they aren't nearly as good looking, and Varied Thrushes just generally seem to be far better natured.

#FlashbackFriday February 2023.

Welcome, to #Namgis #FirstNation territory.

A carved wooden sign, in the style of Pacific Northwest Indigenous art, depicting a killer whale with the words "HOME OF THE KILLER WHALE" and a smaller totem-like carving above, against a clear blue sky.

#Frozen #waterfall along the Alice Lake backroads loop. You see practically zero other humans around - if you explore that North Island backroads loop, in Winter. Chains & Winter emergency supplies are recommended as it is very isolated.

A vertical shot depicts a large rock face covered in a thick layer of icicles from a frozen waterfall and patches of snow and vegetation. The icicles hang down in long, clear, and sharp formations, catching the light. The upper part of the image shows evergreen and bare branches dusted with snow, growing out of the rock face. The lower part of the scene is covered in snow.

#SilentSunday 2023.
I loved waking up to snow falling outside & the ocean tide rolling out, while sipping hot tea in the cozy cabin.

February 2023. My #Winter #snow belated birthday #getaway.

#Namgis #FirstNation #BigHouse - #AlertBay #CormorantIsland. From my 2023 visit.

The Namgis #FirstPeoples use their big house for cultural #community events. #T̓sasała #Cultural Group uses the big house for sharing cultural teachings, songs & dances.

"You will see the next generation of #Kwakwa̱k̕a̱wakw sharing our culture to educate the world about our ancient songs, dances, teachings and values. These teachings are still being passed on today to the children of T'sasała.

You will witness the dances of the T̕seka, our red cedar bark ceremony. You will see the traditional dances that connect us to the land, sky, and sea. The #T̕seka will be followed by the T̕ła'sala ceremony - peace dances, then finally the #A̱mlala or fun dances where you will get a chance to join in."
