Fat harbour seal draped over a small rock

This well-fed seal was lying in the sun in the Mussel Creek estuary in the Fjordland Conservancy of mid-coast British Columbia. There was only a small piece of rock protruding from the water and the seal had done her best to arrange herself on top of the rock.

  • A beautiful morning in the Great Bear Rainforest<br /> <br /> Boater enjoying the scenery, Mussel Inlet, mid-coast British Columbia. This area is part of the Fiordland Conservancy, a large marine park that includes one of the finest examples of glacially gouged fiords on the British Columbia coast, where sheer granite cliffs rise more than 1000 metres out of the sea.

  • Heavily laden tanker passing under the Mittlere Bridge heading upstream against a strong current, Basel, Switzerland (best at larger size). Two trams are passing over the bridge above.<br /> <br /> The Rhine River was in flood and there wasn't a lot of clearance under the bridge. From this angle it looks like the boat is about to collide with the bridge.

  • 'M' is for mums<br /> <br /> Well I made it halfway through the alphabet using photos from my garden. Applying a spherical filter gave interest to the composition of an open mum flower and two buds, and makes it look like the flowers are encased in a large bubble. Now comes the hard part; not sure I have an 'N' for next week.<br /> <br /> Update: just realized that the pink also could represent breast cancer awareness month.<br /> <br /> The original and also my alternate 'M', which is munched mushrooms, can be seen here: <a href="http://goo.gl/E1rFRf">http://goo.gl/E1rFRf</a><br /> <br /> 6/10/13 <a href="http://www.allenfotowild.com">http://www.allenfotowild.com</a>
  • Closed containment salmon farm with morning mist, ripples and reflections, Mussel Inlet, mid-coast BC<br /> <br /> Salmon farming is very controversial in British Columbia and a lot of BC residents, myself included, refuse to eat farmed salmon as there is evidence that salmon farming, particularly open pen farms, is threatening the survival of the wild stocks. Closed containment farms, such as the one seen here can eliminate some of the hazards to the wild stocks, but are still a threat.<br /> <br /> Other photos of the salmon farms can be seen here: <a href="http://goo.gl/MitWGu">http://goo.gl/MitWGu</a><br /> <br /> 5/10/13 <a href="http://www.allenfotowild.com">http://www.allenfotowild.com</a>

  • 'K' is for kale<br /> <br /> When I went out to the garden a couple of mornings ago to photograph my winter kale plant, I found it covered with very tiny drops of dew. The fringed edges of the leaves, each outlined with the tiny round droplets of dew made for an interesting texture (best seen at the largest size).<br /> <br /> 22/09/13 <a href="http://www.allenfotowild.com">http://www.allenfotowild.com</a>

    Fabulous capture; love this! When we were in the Bandon area, I watched several seals having a lot of trouble settling themselves on the rocks they had selected. They would keep sliding off.
