I gaffed today with the weather! I said it would be cloudy with scattered showers today. It was for most of it but the clouds parted late in the day enough to coax me out. I didn’t go out in the boat but rode around instead looking for things of interest!
I went down to 4rth St.Dock & shot a few.

During nesting season they often times stay close to each other like two love birds!
They have started a new nest on Strawberry Island! The nest in the Eik St. tree has been abandoned. I suspect all the road construction/noise for months persuaded them to move to a quieter neighbourhood!
They seem to have problems in having offspring anyways & I guess all the noise wasn’t helping things!

It’s at the end of Tofino Inlet. It took me almost 1 1/2 hrs to get there! There is a old prospectors cabin further up the creek & I wanted to see if I could get to it from the ocean? I know how to get there by logging road,but wanted to see if I could get there by water. I actually did get up to it many years ago,but the tide was high & the creek was more like a river from the winters rains than.
I came across a small section of washboard rapids,but think I know how to get by them. Kick the motor up,tie a rope on the boat & walk up the shore line (with my chest waders & felt booty’s on) to the top & pull the boat up!
Easy to say,but I know the Devil’s always in the details!
After taking a few shots,I headed back downstream. I than went straight up into Fortune Channel. That took me the better part of a hour in it’s self!
I was getting cramped for time,so I decided only time for one bear tonight. I found one almost immediately! I also think this bear knows me! It might be Li’l Jackie? She’s grown since I last saw her last Fall! She & I spent some quality time together but I was cursing the light! Some Cirrus clouds had moved in & diffused the light tremendously! I prefer bright gold light,but that wasn’t in the cards tonight!
Left Li’l Jackie & headed to Tsapee Narrows to visit with the Daredevil & Delilah. Once again,due to low light conditions,the best I could do was take only silhouette’s!
Continued on into the harbour. I saw either Ernie or Ethel on top of Strawberry island & took a few with the diffused light in behind & than went to Deadman island to visit with Romeo & Juliette!
Juliette stayed on the nest but Romeo came over to say hi! After taking a few I decided to head on out to open water & see if I could shoot the Lighthouse with the remaining sunset?
I did make it out there but it was alittle rough! Took a few shots & headed back in.
Broke a record today! I traveled further today than I ever have! Not sure how far,but more than 50 klicks!
Another outstanding days shoot in beautiful Tofino!

The best light to photograph flowers is on a overcast day. Preferably after a bit of a rain too.
Ken’s garden is beginning to show it’s colours! Always so nice to walk among all of his beautiful Rhododendrons!

Got out & headed straight for Gunner Inlet. Found a young bear in the shade & went by her in the hope of coming across a bear in the sunshine. Found a Sow with a cub but she was skittish & wandered off into the bush. Her mangy cub hung around briefly for a few shots & than followed Mummy!
Checked the rest of Gunner & returned to that female in the shade. She seemed calm & accepting. Couldn’t get too crazy about her because of the poor light,so only took a few. Said bye & went around into Fortune Channel looking for some of her friends?
Found two other single bears but were too far away from the shore & one of them was already displaying skittish behavior,so I left them alone.
Went across the Channel for Harbour Seals. They are such lazy cuties laying around on the rocks soaking up the suns warmth!
Said goodbye & headed back. Stopped off at Tsapee Narrows to visit with the Daredevil & Delilah. I couldn’t really get the exposure for them tonight? Sometimes It doesn’t work out. Left them & headed for Deadman Island to visit with Romeo & Juliette!
When I got near Romeo’s rocky throne,he saw me & flew straight over to say hi! The wind was up a bit! I hate those conditions! It darkens the waters surface & you can’t see the eagles contours! It’s lost against the darkened water.
Said goodnight to them both & went in. Overall i think it was a pretty good nights shoot!

Heading out in fog on such a slow moving vessel in a busy harbour takes a brave heart!
