Don’t you just love roads like this ? A double rainbow and summer rain storm on the road next to our camp in a remote upper stretch of the North Thomson River. I drove around these forestry roads for three days without seeing another person or vehicle. Nice to feel outnumbered by the bears ;-) . This is the same location that I took the shot of the ridge next to the Metis Peak massifs (nine shots ago in my feed). British Columbia, Canada
An American Marten (Martes americana), also known as a Pine Marten, in the snow on Hudson Bay Mountain near Smithers in Northern British Columbia. Martens normally eat small mammals such as squirrels and rodents. They are however related to the wolverine and capable of hunting much larger snowshoe hares and marmots. I was lucky enough to see this guy out of the corner of my eye while I was snowboarding. He ran down a tree well; so I boarded over, took my backpack off, got my camera out, changed out the wide angle lens for the 400mm, and waited. After sitting there quietly for a few minutes he then popped his head up again. Northern British Columbia, Canada.
Vivian Lake during a G3 (KP7) solar storm. The only solar event I have seen strong red/pink banding overhead to the naked eye. Strong solar storms have been few and far between as we approach solar minimum. Vivian Lake, Prince George, Northern British Columbia, Canada.
