BC, Canada
I have only seen three pine martins in my life in the wild and photographed one successfully before this trip.
BC is a wildlife photographers dream. This is one of five pine martins seen in two days time while waiting for kermode bears at the river. Mink were also photographed. I will post the kermode (spirit) bear next.

I agree it is a beautiful log. Now if you could just clone out that rat on top of it... :-)
Congrats on taking full advantage of a very rare opportunity. Perfect. I suspect I will be seeing this shot in a magazine years from now, remembering seeing it here first.
