Roosevelt elk (Cervus elaphus roosevelti), also known as wapiti, one of the largest mammals on Vancouver Island. I photographed it in the fall. He was looking at its harem. Very protective.
Those wapitis are wild, not habituated to people, so it takes time and patience to locate them and then photograph them while keeping a respectful distance.

I had one of those memorable #VancouverIsland days recently. A gathering of friends on the beach, salmon cooked around the fire, oysters (tluqw tluqw) picked off the beach and steamed around the fire, clams (s’aqw) steamed under the sand. Veggies were steamed nettles and maple flowers picked from nearby trees. Being fed by the land with food gathered by friends and cooked in traditional ways on the beach. #pnw #indigenous

Into the green zone on #VancouverIsland and some of the most beautiful single track riding anywhere. Moss covered forest floors, giant swordferns, towering fir & cedar trees and stunning mountains.
Grateful to call this place home and the outdoor adventures it provides.

''Catherine Babault's Wild Vancouver Island is perfectly framed, visually stunning. She has clearly mastered the technical aspects of her art, and that mastery frees her to bear witness to the spirit of joy, discovery and delight that informs her engagement with the creatures and elements she portrays.'' - Tom Sandborn, Vancouver Sun.

I photograph and write about the world I see around me here on Vancouver Island: the forests and hllls, things green and wet, the none- to multi-legged critters that scramble, ooze, and slither on our beaches, birds and the occasional beast. Find me at wanderinweeta.blogspot.com

A California sea lion surfing the waves during the herring spawn last year.
Do you know how to identify a California sea lion? They have a bump on their head.

Gulls hover over sea lions hoping to find herring scraps. The colour of the sea is due to a herring spawn. Photo taken last year.
Des mouettes volètent au-dessus de lions de mer dans l'espoir de trouver des restants de hareng. La couleur de la mer provient du frai des harengs. Photo prise l'année dernière.

The coastal waters & beaches, rocky coastlines, estuaries, deep forests with wildlife, and marine life, are part of the fabric and soul of #VancouverIsland and British Columbia.
Gorgeous. Grounding.

Preserve it from oil tankers and oilspills.
Thanks to @RandallHawes@mstdn.ca for sharing!

Slept with the window slightly open to hear the heavy rain. It rained all night. Still raining this morning. It might stop tomorrow. This is winter on Vancouver Island. :)

Be like a sea lion: eat, bark, belch, cause ruckus, sleep, repeat. 😆
Photo taken last March during the herring spawn. These sea lions overindulged on herring and were drifting in the sea.
