The image depicts a tranquil natural scene, dominated by a large tree trunk that has been partially felled and significantly gnawed at its base, likely by a beaver. The exposed wood reveals a rough, textured surface with characteristic tooth marks, colored in shades of light brown and orange. Surrounding the tree are dense, tangled branches and vegetation, with hints of green grass and some small pinkish-purple flowers peeking through. The ground around the tree's base is covered in fallen leaves and debris.

The photograph captures a close-up view of an American Coot as it glides across Lost Lagoon in Stanley Park. The bird is predominantly black, with sleek, dark feathers that appear almost iridescent in the light. Its most striking features are its bright red eyes and the distinctive white frontal shield on its forehead and beak. The beak is also primarily white, with a reddish-brown mark at the base of the frontal shield.

Still water.
A slow approach.

The main subject of the image of mount Garibaldi in British Columbia. Its upper reaches are heavily laden with snow, which is bathed in a striking golden-pink light, a clear indicator of the low-angle sun. The snow coverage is not uniform; rugged, dark rocky outcrops and deep crevices are visible beneath the snow, highlighting the mountain's imposing geological structure. The texture of the snow appears varied, from smooth slopes to rougher, wind-swept areas.

The final glow of the day resting on Mount Garibaldi’s summit.
