I feel very lucky and honoured to have seen a kermode bear/spirit bear in the 90s when I was travelling up the Central Coast of BC. Black bears are very common but there are only 50 to a few hundred of these bears. They are only found on a few of the Islands and mainland coastline. They are sacred in Indigenous teachings.

'Wild Swimming' Does Something Amazing to Your Mind, Study Reveals

Perhaps the main takeaway though is in how wild swimming delivers its mental wellbeing benefits – essentially through enhanced feelings of freedom. Perhaps, in a world of growing external pressures, this is the reason wild swimming is becoming so popular.

I agree...As a kid, I grew up swimming in lakes and rivers. I don't like swimming pools at all. There's no connection there.

“It really shows that we have a unique place in #Michigan where someone has a chance to see a #wolf, a #moose & a #cougar in the #wild. It’s something that should be celebrated, that we have the #habitat to support an elusive animal like this,”Roell said.

The cubs were spotted & photographed without their mother. #CougarCubs are highly dependent on their mothers, often staying with them for the first two years of life.

Yosemite Falls Winter Fury Yosemite National Park This scene captures the raw power and majestic beauty of one of America’s most iconic waterfalls in the heart of winter. Towering above the snow-covered valley, Yosemite Falls roars with untamed energy as icy winds whip through the granite cliffs. Mist rises from the crashing waters, merging with the cold mountain air to create an ethereal veil of motion and texture. The stark contrast between the deep, rugged rock face and the pristine white snow enhances the dramatic scene, embodying both the serene stillness and the relentless force of nature. This breathtaking image invites the viewer to experience the awe-inspiring grandeur of Yosemite in its most powerful and unforgiving season. Yosemite Falls – The Crown Jewel of Yosemite National Park Yosemite Falls, one of the tallest waterfalls in North America, is a breathtaking natural wonder in Yosemite National Park, California. Plunging a total of 2,425 feet (739 meters) from the towering granite cliffs, it is composed of three sections: Upper Yosemite Fall, the Middle Cascades, and Lower Yosemite Fall.

Sunset View Point The Roussanou Monastery Meteora Greece At the end of the evening tour, we went to the best viewpoint on the rocks to watch the sun setting behind the mountain range of Pindos or according to Greek mythology, we saw the god Helios on his fiery chariot taking his horses to rest. My shots of the evening of changing light painting the landscape in shifting hues of rose and orange sunset at Meteora was a once-in-a-life-time experience. A perfect end of the day with a stunning sunset at Psaropetra sunset view point in Meteora. The Roussanou Monastery, perched on one of the stunning rock pillars of Meteora in Greece, is a breathtaking testament to the harmonious blend of natural beauty and human ingenuity. Established in the 16th century and dedicated to Saint Barbara, this monastery is one of the six active monasteries in the Meteora complex. Its strategic position atop a narrow rock pinnacle offers not only a serene retreat for its nuns but also panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, filled with rugged cliffs and verdant valleys.
