Celebrating with beautiful mushrooms recently spotted in a coastal forest on Vancouver Island, BC.

Photo at ground level of mushrooms on the forest floor. The ones on the right side of the image look like curved little plates that could hold water inside, they are white on the outside and light orange on the inside. The ones on the left side of the image are not fully open yet so we only see the white part and they look like teeth of different shapes. The mushrooms are small.

A fawn sticks its tongue out at me as I catch it with its mother, eating the last of the blackberries.

A black-tailed deer doe with her head in a very luscious and tall bush full of blackberries. Her fawn stands next to her and looks at the photographer. The fawn sticks its tongue out.

This gorgeous chunky black bear just spotted a delicious salmon. At this time of year, bears consume up to 20,000 calories per day. It is called hyperphagia. I can only wish I could eat that much! 😆

Huge black bear standing in a river, water flowing fast over its feet. The bear faces the photographer but its eyes are focused on a fish a few metres in front of them.

Mama Grizzly in a field of wildflowers on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Isn't she beautiful?

A light brown grizzly sow in a lush meadow with tall green grass, pink and white wildflowers. She looks away to something outside the frame. We can only see her back, shoulders and head because the grass is tall.

Mrs. and Mr. Wood Duck (Aix sponsa) on an early morning stroll at a marsh.

Spotted during a recent photo tour. We heard their call first so we approached very slowly and quietly.

A female and male wood ducks on a fallen tree with moss that is resting above a marsh. There are trees in the background and they are out of focus. The wood duck is about 43–52 centimetres (17–20.5 inches) long. Both male and female have a characteristic head crest. The crest of the male has two longitudinal white stripes. His purple and green head, red-brown breast flecked with white, and bronze sides are readily identifiable. The distinguishing feature of the female is a white eye-ring; her body is a sooty gray-brown, with white throat and white streaked breast.

I am a quiet and calm wildlife photographer. I move slowly. I pause often. I feel, smell and listen to nature around me. Sometimes wildlife gets close because they trust me or they are just curious.

Recently a family of Black-tailed deer, 2 females and their fawns, walked towards me and then around me while foraging. They were so close that I could have touched them. I didn't. I remained still.

Here's one of the fawns.

Head and shoulders of a young deer looking to my left as it stopped next to me. There are green bushes in the background.

I find this bird very interesting to observe and photograph. It may not look like much with its grey plumage, but the dipper finds its food underwater. It dives into fast-flowing rivers where it feeds on aquatic insects and their larvae.

Photo taken this week on a private photo tour.

A grey bird stands on a mossy boulder in the middle of rushing water. The water splashes it. A grey bird stands on top of a boulder in a turbulent river. Water rushes over that boulder. A grey bird holding a small larvae with its beak. The bird stands on top of a boulder covered with moss and surrounded by rushing water that splashes all around it.

Amazing private photo tour today with many great opportunities to photograph black bears catching salmon!
My guest is returning home with lots of great photos, videos and memories.
Here's a photo I took today.

I still have some availability for private tour in September and October during the salmon run.

Close-up and close to the ground photo of a large black bear facing the photographer while standing in a shallow river with current and staring at salmon in the water. There is green vegetation in the background.
