New here and am really enjoying the entire forum. I love wildlife photography as much as skiing. Mount Baker made a nice backdrop for K-20 (Spock) . Would I rather be skiing Baker or on the water filming orcas........tough choice!

I have never skied Mount Baker but my understanding is that the ski area's lifts and runs are beside the actual Mount Baker, so what you see in the photo above is not the ski area...I could stand to be corrected, though.

Fantastic 1st post @Dr.T I look forward to more!

From out of the fire, renewal. In the shadow of the East Troublesome burn area.

Correct. The ski area is closer to Mt Shuksan than Mt Baker.......in between the two to the north.

Here's one of a "Spirit Bear" in the Great Bear Rainforest.

I took my trail dog on a mountain bike ride today. We almost ran into 3 badgers. Fortunately my dog obeyed my command to “leave it” and she did not chase them. Like they say, honey badger don’t give a s&$#

Growing fast. Pretty soon their bodies will match their big feet.

These photos are courtesy of my friend Peter Monson. He is an avid amateur photographer that lives in Evergreen. Most, if not all, of these images are in his back yard. He is recuperating from a tibial plateau injury from racing SG at the FIS Masters races in Vail this February.

I’d never seen geese at the ocean before, but here they were, on the central California coast.

I don't think that you have looked very hard. Where I live in Victoria, B.C. on the very southern tip of Vancouver Island, the city has ocean on three sides and the Canada Geese are everywhere at and in the ocean. And of course they poop everywhere. High tide helps clean things up but not when they go further on shore.

Interesting. I do’t live on the coast, so it could be that I’ve never been at the ocean when the geese are passing through. My community has a goose problem also. I live near a small pond where they nest, and the city tries to keep all the eggs from hatching. The pond area can be a mess with the goose poop, but the goslings are fun to watch.

Ran into this big bull moose while mountain biking in Winter Park CO today.
