Sometimes it is just about timing. The weather was poor this day, but the clouds suddenly began to break and the sun was trying hard to shine through just above this peak.

Spotted these Inuksuits (Plural for Inuksuk) along a mountain valley creek bed. I think it makes for an appropriate wintery scene to start the year off.

It was fun to watch the interaction between this mother Grizzly and her cub. A male of the species wandered too close and there was quite a commotion! Comments welcome.

This Hoary Marmot decided to hang out on his burrow for us. Some people call them Whistle Pigs as their call is ear deafening up close. Biggest north American Ground Squirrel and they grow up to 10kg. These guys were skittish, as there are Grizzlies around. Comments welcome.

It was a bit of a surreal feel looking across depth of field of this scene. During certain times of the year I do a fair amount of flying, but I find that there are considerably more landscape photo opportunities from the ground. Comments welcome.
