I came across this bull on my annual trip to Manitoba Canada. There’s nothing more Canadian than a huge bull moose, well perhaps a goose.

As devoted grandparents, we sometimes leave the house at silly o'clock to watch our youngest grandson play indoor soccer. This was one of those mornings - a two hour plus drive for two Tristan goals and a 5-3 win. No editing here...
This was the most difficult of days to photograph in. Trying to focus on this family with winds blowing and heavy snow falling was a challenge. At times they were rolling in the snow and sliding down a hill in white out conditions. I did come away with some interesting pictures :-)!
This shot was taken in Nopiming Provincial Park, northeastern Manitoba, at a isolated lake where pristine views of nature including the Common Loon can entertain for hours on end!
Please view the Larger size or in Light Box for more details.
I got eaten by many mosquitos to get this shot blue hour shot of Paint Lake near Thompson, Manitoba, and in Northern Manitoba in the summer, they get quite hungry at dusk. The rain was really coming down at this point.

Even through the dense brush, in a hide, and 100 feet away I'm caught again! It's impossible to hide around these foxes. They've given me brief glimpses, at best.
On one of my last days in Manitoba, I woke up to this beautiful, frosty morning.
