With the beginning of a new year it is always good to reflect on all that the last year brought us and what we have to look forward to, not just this year but in all the years to come. This last year I have been so thankful for the wonderful people in my life, friends, family and even the odd stranger ;) I am also ecstatic over all the new babies that have been born to our critically endangered Southern Resident Orca population (currently we are sitting at 8 new babies since late December 2014) that is truly exceptional!!! I am looking forward to seeing these little ones grow and thrive and have babies of their own (Nature willing). I am still devastated by the loss of the beautifully endearing Rhapsody J32 and her unborn daughter who would have brought our baby total up to 9. I was so excited to see how she would be as a mother and if she would pass on her playfulness to her offspring, something we will never get to see. I am excited to get back out on the water to see these incredible animals and see how frequently we will get to visit with Humpback whales this coming season, will their numbers continue to rise? I feel very lucky to get to go out and photograph animals of all types and I'm thrilled that I now have this medium to share these photos with you! As I broaden my photography horizons, I hope you will join me on this adventure called life. Make each moment count and always take a little time to just take in your surroundings, stopping to inhale and exhale a big deep breath before moving on.
Wishing you all Love, Laughter and a Life full of Adventure!
