Island Nature Featuring Vancouver Island nature and landscape photography by Dave Ingram Euxoa wilsoni in the Sand Dunes at Wickaninnish Beach September 6, 2020September 6, 2020 / Dave Ingram Cutworm moth, dart moth—Euxoa wilsoni doesn t really have a common name. It took a little detective work to narrow down the options, eliminate possibilities, and come to a tentative identification of this beautiful moth I found in the sand dunes at Wickaninnish Beach in Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. Moths are a challenge to observe and identify. They don t stay Pink Sand-verbena at Wickaninnish Dunes August 21, 2020August 21, 2020 / Dave Ingram Pink Sand-verbena (Abronia umbellata) in the dunes at Wickaninnish Beach, Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. The sand dunes at Wickaninnish Beach in Pacific Rim National Park Reserve are home to a number of beautiful and hardy plants. Some of these wildflowers are spectacular and showy, covering the dunes with a colourful display. However, others are less dramatic and require more Beautifully Desolate Comber s Beach August 12, 2020August 12, 2020 / Dave Ingram At Comber s Beach sand flows around driftwood at the mouth of Sandhill Creek in Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. There is something beautifully desolate about Comber s Beach in Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. The wind constantly moves the sand to form ripples and low dunes. Large pieces of driftwood block sand movement and hollows form in the lee of the Rising Tide at Point Holmes July 27, 2020July 27, 2020 / Dave Ingram Point Holmes #1 A large boulder is slowly surrounded by the rising tide. Point Holmes in Comox, British Columbia is a fabulous place for landscape photography. The dynamic nature of the rising or falling tide can create very different compositions at the same location. Therefore, the challenge is to quickly adapt to changing water levels and find interesting combinations of Re-visting Comox Lake Bluffs Ecological Reserve June 21, 2019June 21, 2019 / Dave Ingram It has been a while since I ve visited the Comox Lake Bluffs Ecological Reserve but this spring I had a chance to return to catch and photograph the early April bloom. It was truly spectacular and well worth the short hike. Wildflowers on the steep mossy slopes above Comox Lake. Approaching the steep slopes of the bluffs of the ecological May 5, 2019May 5, 2019 / Dave Ingram Satinflower (Olsynium douglasii) blooms for a very short time in early spring on Vancouver Island. I finally experienced the delicate beauty of these wildflowers this March and the bloom was awe inspiring! The southern part of Vancouver Island is one of the few locations in British Columbia where there are reliable views of this beautiful member of the iris family. Exploring the Nanaimo Marina July 9, 2017 / Dave Ingram I love wandering around the Nanaimo marina and photographing the boats moored there so many stories to tell. Often, the details say more than the overall scene. I looked for images that I could create using part of a larger object, focusing in on simple shapes, lines and colours. Simple lines, shapes and colours. By including less, more is Eight Bolts 1/365 Day Project January 1, 2017January 1, 2017 / Dave Ingram 1/365Eight Bolts Think it s time for another 365 Day Project—expect an eclectic mix of urban abstracts, back alleys, and epic landscapes as well as some off the wall feral shopping carts! I did one of these in 2015 (should really bundle those images into a book) and loved the creative challenge. I ll be looking to create and post at least one Making a Mark Urban Abstract Subjects October 9, 2016 / Dave Ingram Marked Playing with abstract subjects of tire marks and cracked concrete. Looking for the Smaller Scene Sometimes the most mundane urban landscapes hold the potential for the creation of interesting urban abstracts. I often look for abstract images that may say more about a place and try to simplify a larger, more complex scene by focusing on a small part of it. The resulting photograph Lovekin Rock at Long Beach August 20, 2016August 18, 2016 / Dave Ingram Early in the sunset the sky over Lovekin Rock is a mix of pale blues and salmon. It gets better! There s something about a wet beach at sunset that I just can t get enough of. Over the course of the summer I check the tide tables and try to find days when the sunset coincides with a low or dropping tide. August 17, 2016August 17, 2016 / Dave Ingram I’ve been spending summers out on the west coast since 2006 and I’ve never seen anything like it. Earlier this July, a large number of juvenile Pacific mole crabs made an appearance at Wickaninnish Beach. And they re still here! A handful of Pacific Mole Crabs (Emerita analoga) found at Wickaninnish Beach in Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. Pacific mole crabs Stopping at the Kennedy River Canyon on the Way to Ucluelet August 14, 2016 / Dave Ingram The long winding drive from Port Alberni to Ucluelet is demanding and I usually try to make at least one stop along the way to take a break and do some photography. The challenge is to find new locations along the Kennedy River where the river has carved channels through the rock and then smoothed the stone. Steep cliffs line
