THE PROWL

A young fox kit is on the prowl, but he's not hunting food, he's getting ready to pounce on one of his siblings. These fox kits were constantly sneaking up on each other, sharpening their instinctual hunting skills and getting ready for life on the prairie. Or maybe they were just having a lot of fun...

THE SILENT HOUR

As the sun rises  on Little Bearskin Lake, the sound-dampening properties of a fresh blanket of snow creates  an absolutely silent morning.

WINTER WOLF TRACKS

I set out before sunrise to take photos around the frozen lake at my cabin, only hoping for nice light on some beautiful fresh snow. Instead, I was lucky enough to encounter a wolf as it was making its way to the far side of the lake over the ice. As I spotted it, it stopped for a brief moment and looked at me, then continued on his way, leaving behind his tracks in the snow. I didn't take any photos of him (this was at the beginning of dawn), but seeing a wolf like this was a rare and awesome sight. I tried setting up at a spot with my telephoto the next morning to see if the wolf would be back, but not surprisingly, I didn't see him.
