Penguin Perfection

Penguin PerfectionLike alot of birds the penguin has a preen gland at the base of its tail which produces oil. I watched this king penguin for about a hour carefully wipe the oil on its beak and then spread around its feathers which add a brilliant waterproofness. At first glance penguins can seem quite cute and even clumsy on land but they are in fact perfectly adapted to these harsh environments.

Some of my favourite days on the west coast of Vancouver Island are the foggy ones

I really think this shot captures the fragile world that the Polar Bear lives in
