My good ending with Krahnpix has morphed into an entirely new beginning with Krahnicles! In the months after signing off this blog, I found that my interest in photography had also waned. So I sold my camera gear and bought a snowblower – maybe it’s a Saskatchewan thing. Now I’m impatiently waiting for snow. I still had a… Continue Reading

Krahnpix was always an odd combination of wildlife photos and my eclectic version of wit. I’m pretty sure I was the biggest fan. I suppose that was a natural outcome of pouring my heart and soul into a project. Through good times and bad, I passionately chased wildlife, learned a few tricks of the trade… Continue Reading

Fantastic pictures, Lyle. I envy you a bit, but on the other hand it’s nice to be able to walk about in the forrest without too many surprises 🙂

Thanks so much. I actually look at it from the opposite perspective. We had to travel two days to get to Yellowstone and i had done a lot of research to try to figure out the best time to see bears. It’s only by going to the right places at the right times and being patient that I get to see bears in the wild at all. As it was, we saw fewer than expected. While bears in parks can get quite used to vehicles (they make a great blind), they often avoid humans (a good thing otherwise they get habituated and have to be destroyed). If you take normal precautions like not leaving food lying around, make some noise while walking and pay attention so you don’t get stuck between mama and cubs – it’s actually highly unlikely you would ever see a bear even if they are around. There are many encounters between bears and humans yet very few incidents. Of course as we continue to encroach on wilderness areas, that becomes more challenging.
