About 800 meters away, a polar bear climbs a fjord on Baffin Island last month. Canada has more polar bears than any other country. #wildlifephotography #canada #arctic #wildlife

A Little Auk surfaces off shore of Savissivik, Greenland, 76° North. The pouch under the beak allows it to carry food to chicks. These small, fast birds breed in the Arctic during the summer. #birds #nature #greenland #wildlifephotography

The Greenland ice sheet produces 95% of the icebergs in the northern hemisphere, and most of those originate at Ilulissat on Greenland's west coast. The iceberg that sank the Titanic likely originated at Ilulissat. #photography #naturescape #greenland #canonphotography #sea
Small chunks of ice float on a calm sea in the foreground.  A large angular iceberg floats behind, with a blue sky and whispy cirrus clouds overhead.

Icebergs drift with the tide near Cape York, Greenland, 76 degrees north. Old news of course, but the Greenland ice sheet is losing more ice than it is gaining. #landscape #photography #greenland #travel #nature
Large, angular icebergs protrude from the calm sea surface.  In the sunlight they appear white with a blue tint.

Greenland is my first hiking destination where I can see icebergs from the trail. Amazing! #Greenland #travel #canonphotography #landscapephotography #hiking
Tundra in the foreground with large boulders, beyond that a body of water with ice.  In the background hills and sharply angular taller mountains with snow.

About a dozen buff-colored harbor seals relax on a rock ledge in the ocean.  A few watch me as I approached in my kayak.

Granite pathway leads the viewer to green, forested hills surrounding the blue Somes Sound in Maine.  A small, stubby evergreen frames the left side of the composition.  The sky is cloudless.

The Cobblestone Bridge spans Jordan Stream in Acadia NP. Using local stone to fit in with the natural surroundings, it was completed in 1917. Acadia has 16 stone bridges as part of the carriage roads, all financed by John Rockefeller, Jr. #maine #nationalparks #canonphotography #travel
A single-span bridge with smooth cobblestones for the exterior.  The span stretches across Jordan stream, a small stream with large boulders.  The bridge sits among mature conifers and hardwoods.

Catch of the Day. While gulls are sometimes dismissed as parking lot scavengers I have observed them to be excellent hunters. Photographed in Frenchman's Bay, Acadia NP. #nationalparks #birds #wildlife #canonphotography
An adult American Herring Gull deposits his catch--a feisty crab--on a rock before eating it.  Surrounded by cold clear water of Frenchman's Bay in Maine.

Flamingos take to flight, Lake Nakuru, from a few years ago. This park is adjacent to one of Kenya's largest cities. #wildlife #birds #africa #wildlifephotography #travel
Dozens of flamingos take flight from Lake Nakuru, running on the water to gain speed.  Wings are pink and black while their long necks are white.

An Osprey drops a flounder shortly after snatching it from a tidal pool. Flounder are bottom fish, not typically on the Osprey's menu. I was too far away for my Canon 5R II, 70-200mm #birds #nature #canonphotography
