Two North Shore residents have their photographs on display at the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa as part of the Canadian Wildlife Photography of the Year exhibition.
The sixth edition of this annual show, which opened May 16, features 25 winning photographs from the 2013 Canadian Wildlife Photography of the Year Contest, organized by Canadian Geographic in partnership with the museum.
Geoffrey Shuen of West Vancouver was a runner-up in the In Flight category for his photograph "Fly by Delivery" of a mother barn swallow bringing food to her young in Stanley Park.
Lauren Nicholl of North Vancouver was also a runner-up in the In Flight category for her shot of a snowy owl scouting out a meal on a late-March afternoon at Boundary Bay.
The winners, runners-up and honourable mentions were selected from thousands of entries submitted to Canadian Geographic.
The photos will be on display until Sept. 1. They can also be seen online at wpy13.canadiangeographic.ca.
