''Catherine Babault's Wild Vancouver Island is perfectly framed, visually stunning. She has clearly mastered the technical aspects of her art, and that mastery frees her to bear witness to the spirit of joy, discovery and delight that informs her engagement with the creatures and elements she portrays.'' - Tom Sandborn, Vancouver Sun. https://vancouversun.com/entertainment/books/book-review-catherine-babaults-wild-vancouver-island-is-perfectly-framed-visually-stunning

This holiday season instead of lining the pockets of billionaires by buying gifts on Amazon "because it's convenient", support small businesses, artisans and artists near you. Many of them are struggling in this challenging economy to keep their doors open. YOU can help.

Book a photo tour with me on Vancouver Island by December 31 and save CAD 100. Not only you will experience unique photo opportunities but you also support a small business during the shoulder season and I'd be super grateful for that.
If you're not convinced, here are five reasons to book a tour this fall and winter: https://www.catherinebabault.com/blog/2025/9/30/five-reasons-to-book-a-photo-tour-on-vancouver-island-this-fall-and-winter

For #WildlifeWednesday here's a photo of a harbour seal resting on an islet in Quatsino Sound. We were on a boat and kept a respectful distance because the seals were resting. We didn't want them to waste energy by jumping into the water.
From my archives.

Today I gave a private photo workshop to a young aspiring photographer. He had the opportunity to photograph a killdeer, bald eagles, vultures, the rare Northern bobwhite, landscapes and intimate portraits of flowers. We also did some ICM. A great day with a promising nature photographer.

If someone had told me growing up in a small village in France that one day I would be a wildlife photographer shooting bears on Vancouver Island, I wouldn't have believed it.
Follow your dreams; it requires huge sacrifices, but you only live once, so you might as well make the most of it.
