Males of this species often congregate around puddles from which they extract minerals and moisture. These butterflies were found on the shore of Atlin Lake.
Battle Abbey is a remote backcountry hut/lodge located in British Columbia. It is accessed by a 25 minute helicopter flight from Golden, British Columbia. There is a diverse wildlife population, not the least of which includes many industrious martens. The snow in this image had not been...

When we traveled to Antarctica it was to honour Ernest Shackleton's 1914-18 expedition to reach the South Pole (which he unfortunately did not). We retraced his hiking route across South Georgia to Stromness in his ultimately successful attempt to rescue the majority of his men who had remained...
I have just finished culling images out of my Antarctica folder. It's embarrassing to publicly acknowledge that I returned from a 3.5 week trip with 15,000+ images only to have culled approximately 12,500. I find that a huge issue with digital photography is the lack of a penalty for taking too...

Tim Laman, a wildlife biologist and amazing professional photographer who was the first to document all species of Birds of Paradise in SE Asia, was on our trip to Antarctica. He was incredibly approachable and helpful. One technique he suggested was to lock onto a bird in flight using a slower...
Giant Petrels are a fearsome looking bird. They frequent penguin colonies and target young, weak or ill birds with a ferocity that is absolutely stunning as they tear these helpless creatures to shreds.
