A beautiful encounter during a recent photo tour on Vancouver Island.
It's a photo that I had imagined for years: an owl on a mossy branch.

A young black bear looking for salmon on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
Interesting to observe them (from a safe and respectful distance) and see their different characters. This young bear had the attitude of a teenager, challenging the alpha bear in the group and trying to get salmon from others.

A sea otter (Enhydra lutris) emerges from the sea after looking for crabs and clams in a kelp bed. I was sitting on a rocky outcrop on the edge of the water hoping that it would come closer so I could get a clear shot with my telephoto lens.

Seeds of #Sovereignty: #Indigenous leaders affirm food as a right, a relationship, and a responsibility
Mon, November 10, 2025
#Toronto #Canada - " #RightToFood and four Indigenous-led Community #FoodCentres have released Seeds of Sovereignty, a new living brief that shares stories, truths, and policy recommendations from Indigenous food leaders across the country.
"The document is both a reflection and a call to action. It outlines six key recommendations aimed at strengthening and celebrating Indigenous food sovereignty including the enactment of an #IndigenousFoodSovereigntyAct, reform of food safety and licensing regulations, recognition of Indigenous law as legitimate governance over food systems, and sustained, unrestricted funding aligned with #Seasonal cycles and community leadership.
" 'The Western system limited our imagination,' says Raymond Jordan Johnson-Brown, Indigenous Network Manager at Right To Food. 'Seeds of Sovereignty invites policymakers and partners to step into the imaginary — to reimagine what #equitable food systems look like when led by #IndigenousPeoples.'
"Jolene Andrew, Director of Community Development at #Líl̓wat Community Food Centre, adds: 'We don't need permission — we just need to do it. This brief is a reminder that sovereignty is already being lived in our communities every day.'
"Developed through gatherings in #Iqaluit, #Nunavut (2024) and #Líl̓watNation, #BritishColumbia (2025), Seeds of Sovereignty amplifies the collective voice of Right To Food's Indigenous Community Food Centres and Indigenous Network. It highlights what is already thriving in communities — hunters harvesting country food, youth learning traditional skills, Elders teaching, and families gathering — affirming that food sovereignty is alive.
" 'Our communities are not waiting. We are organizing, harvesting, teaching land-based skills, and pushing policy,' the brief states. 'Food is not a service — it's a right, a relationship, a responsibility.' "

It's raining on Vancouver Island. What I like about this part of Canada is that rain does not stop people from going outside.
I took this photo earlier this week.
