The otter day during a private photo tour, we saw several rafts of sea otters. Some otters were caring for their pups, others were grooming or sleeping. They all looked very relaxed.

Sea otter floating on its back and rubbning its cheeks with its front paws as part of its grooming ritual. The sea is calm and blue, there is yellow kelp in the background and sea otters out of focus. A large patch of yellow kelp with dozens of sea otters in a calm blue sea with a forested coastline and mountains in the background. A sea otter pup lying on its mother's belly. The mum is floating on her back and rubbing her baby's face with her front paws. The sea looks dark green due to the reflection of a nearby forested coastline.

This week and next week I'll see the sunrise if I go out for a bike ride in the morning... which means that in two weeks... I will go out again before dawn, in the dark... I know that I have posted my last messages just about this... but it is something ephemeral... that will go away in a few days...

A road with a Jeep and two cars parked on the side, overlooking a river with a bridge in the distance during sunrise. A sunrise view over a river with a bridge in the distance, trees, and a streetlight on the left. The sky is orange and pink, and the water reflects the colours. A silhouetted view of a bridge over a river at sunrise, with trees and a city skyline in the distance, captured from a road with traffic cones and barriers.

Last week, as the sun rose on the coast of Vancouver Island, we observed a black bear getting several salmon for breakfast. I have a good appetite in the morning too.

Photo taken during a private 5 day-photo tour.

A large black bear walking away from the photographers looks back at them. There is yellow grass behind it and large sandstones in the foreground.

Long August light

A deep shadow falls across a tiled building facade on a Vancouver sidewalk, casting the sharp silhouette of a person raising a camera to their eye. Through a gap between buildings in the background, a small group of people stand on a sunlit street beside a fire hydrant. A Canada Gold sign and a clock are visible in the distance. The storefront of a souvlaki and pizza restaurant on a Vancouver street, lit by strong directional sunlight. A Coca-Cola fridge and a Great Gyros menu poster are visible through the window. The number 613 is displayed on the door. Two U-Haul trucks parked side by side in a gravel back alley, their identical rear advertising panels facing the camera. Behind them, a weathered two-storey wooden building with open staircases and balconies rises between two concrete walls. Close-up of the back of a person's head on a Vancouver street. They wear a woven straw bucket hat with a blue band and a dark denim jacket. The background is dark and softly blurred.

I spent Sunday morning surrounded by dozens of small Pacific tree frogs and a few Red-legged frogs near a marsh. Just us, no one else around. The tree frogs were very small, about 2 cm (< 1 in.), and well hidden in the vegetation. I tapped the ground with my foot before each step to make sure that I was not stepping on them. A memorable experience.

A small green frog with a black line going from its eyes to its side sits on a green leaf surrounded by green vegetation.

Baby Vancouver Island marmot exploring its surroundings probably for the first time. They are born in the burrow and spend their first weeks underground. This little one came out of the burrow while mum was out collecting grass to refresh the bedding. (Photos from my archives)

The Western redback salamande (Plethodon vehiculum) is a very cute little native salamander we have on the West Coast. I found this one in a creek bed.

A close-up photo of a tiny salamander standing on a wet rock, its head upturned, and one front foot slightly elevated above the rock. It is a warm brown, with a slightly paler belly and a bright rust-red band down along its back, and a scattering of starlike flecks of pale white across its body.

One In - One Out

(Details in the ) (Described by Human)

This is a sunrise photo in landscape format of two passing container ships, one leaving port, one arriving. Vancouver, BC (2017). The light blue and rippled harbour water rises from the base of the photo upwards to the halfway up level. In the foreground and to the left of centre is the bow and forward section of a large container ship entering port. The ship is viewed in profile with the bow and forward ten to fifteen metres section in view and with the camera positioned about thirty metres away. The ship is underway from left to right at a very slow speed, that is hardly causing any wake. The vessel is in shadow but a few details are visible. Aft of the bow on the upper part of the hull is the vessel's name 'MSC LISA' with a short white mast on the deck above. Behind are a number of multi coloured '40 foot' shipping containers. Beyond the MSC LISA is a further container ship that is departing port and underway from right to left. Again, underway at such slow a speed that only the sl

Dim sum buddies meet up before self-defense class

Two older women stand on the sidewalk outside a Chinese restaurant in Vancouver's Chinatown. One, with short grey hair and glasses, leans toward the restaurant window carrying a white tote bag. The other, wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat, green coat, and floral dress, stands beside her looking ahead. Warm sunlight falls across the red brick wall behind them. A handwritten flyer taped to a weathered, paint-peeling pole in Vancouver's Chinatown advertises self-defense classes in Chinese kung fu, promising to teach how to defeat multiple attackers. Below the flyer, the pole is painted with an orange mural of fruit-laden branches.

Chinatown hair

The interior of a Chinatown hair salon viewed through its glass storefront. Chinese characters and the word HAIR are painted on the window. Two people are visible inside — one seated in a stylist's chair, another resting in a waiting chair. A Schwarzkopf hair colour poster and a no smoking sign are affixed to the glass. An older man stands on a Vancouver street looking directly at the camera with a calm, steady gaze. He wears a patterned head wrap, a long burgundy scarf, a floral shirt, and a green jacket, and carries a large rust-coloured cushion under one arm. Trees are softly blurred behind him. A woman walks away from the camera along a covered sidewalk in Vancouver's Chinatown. Her curly hair catches the warm light. A red ornamental lamp post and parked cars are visible in the background.

Vancouver Island marmot pups playfighting to claim the right to sit on top of a small rock. Photo taken in the wilderness on Vancouver Island a few years ago.

Three dark brown marmots with a white spot on their forehead, chest and snout are gathered around a small rock in a field of pearly everlasting (a white wildflower). They are face to face with each other and in a circle.

White stonecrops on a rocky shoreline on Vancouver Island. This plant intrigues me every time I see it. Apparently it is an introduced species from Eurasia.

Source: https://linnet.geog.ubc.ca/Atlas/Atlas.aspx?sciname=Sedum%20album&redblue=Both&lifeform=7

Close-up of dozens of white stonecrops, a weird-looking plant that is difficult for me to describe. I have found this description on a scientific website. General description: Perennial herb from a stout rhizome; mat-forming; stems decumbent to ascending, several, branched above, 10-20 cm tall/long, glabrous. Description of the leaves: Stem leaves alternate, smooth, evergreen, 6-12 mm long, nearly round in cross section, linear-oblong to ellipsoid, succulent, unstalked, usually broadest above the midlength and tapered to the base, usually somewhat flattened.

Adventures by the river

A pair of small shoes placed neatly in the sand at the base of a dense stand of tall marsh grass. Water is visible behind the reeds. Close-up portrait of a wet black labradoodle facing the camera, mouth open, eyes alert. A leash is visible at the neck. The background is softly blurred. A calm river scene viewed through foreground reeds. Trees and their reflections shimmer across the still water. A small white motorboat is moored on the far bank beside a rocky breakwater. Close-up of cattails and marsh reeds in soft light, with a blurred wetland background. Several cattail seed heads are visible among the tall grass stalks.

A brown shorebird faking a broken wing while standing on a rocky shoreline. It looks away from the camera. The bird has brown patterns on its back, a white belly, and 2 black rings on its chest. It has long legs and a long black bill.

Downtown Vancouver British Columbia - Jul 27 2026

The Vancouver Public Library was modelled after the Colosseum. This is one of two unique vantage points I have in the metro area. The second one is posted below this one on Behance.

I will be posting infrequently throughout August. Everyone’s gotta have a summer break! But I’ve also been spending time upgrading my skills with Photoshop. Some of my past photos have been upgraded as well. So there’s an extra pic in there if you check out the link below. Or you can peruse the entire profile. Thanks and have a great summer!
