Sea otters off northern Vancouver Island. Just some of the wonderful creatures I come across while living aboard my boat in the summer. 🦦 #seaotter #wildlife #wildlifephotography #britishcolumbia

Who loves sea otters? Photographed off Malcolm Island, the sea was so calm I got an awesome reflection! 🐙 #seaotter #wildlife #wildlifephotography #naturephotography

There was a baby deer looking out at us from the tip of an island as we anchored. Maybe we are her first boat! Don't worry mom was there too. #wildlife #wildlifephotography #naturephotography

Who knew hummingbirds like boats? I wasn't sure if any would come to the feeder, but they did and this little fella kept sitting on the line attached to the boom. So cute! #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography #wildlifephotography

So many cool poses from my friendly Rufous Hummingbird! Photographed in the Broughton Archipelago, British Columbia 🪶 #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography

A hummingbird doesn't just flap its wings up and down. They make tiny figure-eight patterns, rotating at the shoulder. On the backstroke, the wing changes angle so it continues to push air down, allowing the bird to hover and even fly backwards! 🪶 #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography

Dramatic clouds and green water in Glendale Cove, Knight Inlet, British Columbia. #britishcolumbia #landscape #landscapephotography

When you get up into the inlets on the British Columbia coast, many have light green water caused by glacial flour - silt in the glacial runoff. This one is from our anchorage in Glendale Cove, Knight Inlet, BC. #photography #photographersofbluesky #landscapephotography #britishcolumbia

Two adorable grizzly cubs crossing the river at Knight Inlet, British Columbia. What a treat to just paddle up in the dinghy and be treated to such an incredible sight. 🐻💛 #wildlife #wildlifephotography #grizzlybear #naturephotography

I'm not usually one to photograph the bum end of an eagle, but I had to make an exception 🪶 #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #photographersofbluesky

Came across a feeding frenzy in the middle of Blackfish Sound. Rhinoceros Auklets were stirring up the herring and bald eagles were having a feast! 🦅🪶 #birds #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #baldeagle #eagle #britishcolumbia #blackfishsound

Painted Anemones - nature's underwater scultpures 🐙 #underwater #underwaterphotography #photography #britishcolumbia

Sea cucumbers are creepy and fascinating at the same time. No, I didn't eat one, too slimey! I'm happy just looking and photographing 🐙 #underwater #underwaterphotography #photography

There's something magical about underwater reflections. Above water they are expected. Underwater, they always take me by surprise 🐙 #underwater #underwaterphotography #photography #marine #britishcolumbia

Who has big whiskers??? 🦭 #wildlife #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #photography

It's tough to be a salmon! Everything wants to eat you. Last time I was at the marina in Campbell River, two seals were playfully sharing. So civilized! 🐙🦭 #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #naturephotography #vancouverisland #britishcolumbia

Super pano of Miracle Beach, Vancouver Island, BC. Best viewed large! 📷 🌄 #panorama #landscapephotography #photography #vancouverisland #britishcolumbia #landscape #pano

Couple more shots of that beautiful swan in the estuary in Campbell River, BC 🪶 #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #birds #birdphotography

So far, this boating season has had very short calm periods in the mornings followed by super windy for the rest of the day. I do love the calm mornings though. Just wish it would last a little longer 📷 #britishcolumbia #boating #boatingbc #landscapephotography #photography

Quite the minimalist scene as we pulled up our anchor at 6am in Forward Harbour, British Columbia. After days of windy weather, the slight ripple on the water was a welcome sight. #seascape #seascapephotography #photography #landscapephotography #britishcolumbia #boatingbc
