Pendant ce temps-là sur l'île de Vancouver, des fougères poussent sur des arbres moussus...

Ending the year with a bear photo because bears are cool. May 2026 be your best year!

Je termine l'année avec une photo d'ours car les ours sont cools. Que 2026 soit votre meilleure année !

Black bear holding a salmon in its mouth turns its back to the photographer and looks to its left. It sits on a rocky shoreline with sandstones, some of them covered by kelp and barnacles.

A handsome California quail (Callipepla californica) stopping for a few photos in Nanoose Bay a few summers ago. This is an introduced species on the island.

A round bird with a rich gray breast, intricately scaled underparts, and a curious, forward-drooping head plume stands on a gravel trail with grass in the background.

#BloomScrolling - A swamp gentian (Gentiana douglasiana) photographed this summer on Vancouver Island, BC.

A beautiful flower to cheer up those of us on the West coast of Canada and US affected by the atmospheric river. This plant is common in coastal British Columbia, North to South East Alaska and Washington State.
