The Lee Metcalf Refuge, established in 1964, is located near the Bitterroot River just a short drive from Stevensville, Montana. Established to accommodate migratory birds on a stop over to rest and feed before continuing their flights.
Lee Metcalf, the Refuges name's sake was a US Senator from Montana.
The Refuge encompasses 2,800 acres and is home to many bird species, deer, and other mammals...
SANCTUARY
With the onset of the winter season the sports anglers change focus to lower Fraser tributaries like the Vedder/Chilliwack river to search for the prized winter steelhead. For many anglers, catching a steelhead is an ultimate dream, wether catching it on a fly, bait casting, spinner or centerpin is an incredible experience. These fish are classic and highly respected throughout the sport, It is the hardest fish to catch in the world, fishing or steelhead is not for everyone. You have to brave the cold and damp winter weather, spending hours in the cold, chilly weather, you have to wear layers to beat the freezing temperature, Steelhead fishing is not best-known as quantity fishery but it is absolutely renowned as a `must-try`one. I dedicate this to the strong willed sports anglers of the river of BC.
A day at the river with my fishing buddies & fellow photographers, thanks for a great day at the river,
Cliff Swallows have taken over areas of Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge's boardwalk.
Equally delightful as messy...
A few days ago, I went exploring Vallée des Fantômes in Parc National Monts-Valin, I was with my brother Renald(lefion) and my friend Julien (Abo)...we were alone on the summit for about 2 hours....it was a magical experience that I will never forget.

The Vallée des Fantômes
The phantoms inhabit the valley at an altitude of 800 metres near the clear peaks. The trees are so well protected from winds that blowing snow from nearby summits causes up to three metres of snow accumulation, decking out the evergreens with a layer of soft snow that eventually camouflages them completely. These are the phantoms. It is guaranteed that you will experience a total change of scenery! After a good snowfall, the atmosphere is muted, the ground seems to be carpeted in cotton batten and the silence is omnipresent.
Panorama 360º par Abo (Julien).... a must!

The male gets a lot of attention for those flashy red/orange wing accents, but the female deserves some photos too.

Lost Trail National Wildlife Refuge was at one time homesteads and cattle ranches. Dahl Lake was drained in order to create more grazing land. Its mostly been restored back to its natural state but evidence of old homesteads can still be seen.
The west coast of Tasmania can be a very hostile place, subjected directly to the "roaring forties" gales with uninterrupted fetches stretching thousands of kilometres towards South America. Couta Rocks provides a small haven of sorts for the few remaining fishers who continue to make a living from the sea in this area. I was blessed to see it like this!
Un chat du refuge d'où viennent Rambo et Lewis. Les chats restants sont tous sauvages et peureux, j'espère qu'ils trouveront néanmoins des adoptants.
A cat from the shelter where my dogs Rambo and Lewis come from. The remaining cats are all wild and shy but I hope that nevertheless they will find a good home

I've been wanting to shoot photos of this church for years and finally got the chance a few months back. The thing that struck me most was the tranquility of this place. Although abandoned by its members it sits proud, strong, and peaceful. Thankfully there is a local movement to raise money to put a new roof on the building to stem the decay.
A view of Flat Creek, looking upstream from the multiagency visitor center in Jackson, Wyoming. The fence marks the boundary of the National Elk Refuge. The foothills of the Gros Ventre Mountains appear in the background.
Taken last month when the extreme low tides enabled people to walk out to Conister Rock for a short time.
This is an Osprey nest at the Blackwater Wildlife Refuge, in the upper right of the photograph at the top of the wooden extension is a camera. You can take a look anytime day or night at: www.friendsofblackwater.org/camhtm.html and you might see an eagle, since they always seem to perch there, but you will have to wait until spring to see Ospreys.
Je ne peux me résoudre à voir la vie en noir et blanc (Patrice)

Dedicated to all women who every day have to endure and endure all the obstacles that life brings them.
My great admiration for yourselves

I traveled for four days to reach this place. Place where Ejina or Populus diversifolia thrives well. This swamp is in the middle of its desert. a beautiful place worth the visit.
