I have seen lots of wolves running across roads and have even photographed wolf pups but never have I had the chance to photograph an adult wolf at close range. This wolf was cautiously staying close to the woods as it was checking me out! This was definitely a lifer! Photo taken in southern Manitoba!

The Western Timber wolf is a sub-species of the grey wolf and lives in western Canada and Alaska.

One of the characteristics of this subspecies is the great variability of colors: black or white, gray or yellowish, including within the same pack.

Often black wolves turn gray, then white as they age.

Canis Lupus occidentalis includes several ancient subspecies such as that of the Mackenzie wolves (Canis lupus mackenzii) or even that of the tundra wolves (Canis lupus tundrarum).

Since its reintroduction in Yellowstone, the ecosystem has returned to its equilibrium, allowing in particular the disappeared species to return.

I came across this wolf on a quiet road very early in the morning in Banff National Park. She was standing on the road howling away for a few minutes before looking my way.

The look through the camera is like a door to another world.

Now I can see why they call it winter wonderland. Was very nice to get to spend some time with my babe during the holiday hustle. Hope everyone has a safe and joyous holiday season.

This is an old image, taken back in 2008. Since we are still in winter here with a lot of new snow, I have been going through older files and editing photos and re-editing older photos.

This is one of two wolves that walked by in Denali National Park. I had read about a wolf pack that was hanging around one of the areas near a camp ground. I had hiked for a few hours in the area with no success in finding them. Got to my vehicle to leave, and there they were, walking by a drainage from the mountains to the north.

This was an experience that I will never forget, standing there, watching two wolves walk by and being able to capture the moment on camera. Although this was a close encounter with the wolves, approx 50 yards away, I had another experience that was closer yet. I was walking down an animal trail and heard something behind me, two other wolves were following me and closing in because their gate was faster than mine. I stepped off the trail and they passed within 5 feet of me. I did manage a few photos on film, but none were good as they were blurry from my excitement.

It's been over 10 years now since my last wolf encounter, I plan on going to a few areas where I know wolves are seen at and spending time there this summer. A couple years back, my wife and I found very fresh wolf tracks in the snow and followed them for quite a ways, but to no avail, we never saw a wolf occupying the tracks.

Unfortunately, the wolf pack that this wolf belonged to is no longer around. The alpha was trapped just outside the Park's border and other wolves of the pack were trapped as they left the safety of Denali National Park.

Supposedly, there are between 8 and 10 thousand wolves that live in Alaska. I think I have seen maybe 15 total in my time here.

Hoping to add to the total and get some new images this summer.

I guess they know how to keep the patrons in line.

New post of the Alpha male from the wolf den of last summer.

So far, I have had no luck in finding more than wolf tracks this winter, but it is not for lack of trying.
