…Grizzly bear cub style! Here we see two old favourite cubs, brother and sister just hanging out and chilling in the summer sun on a bed of seaweed to help keep cool. These guys as […]

It’s That Time Again!

Following on from the two images last month in Humpback Hugs, here’s another shot from that great day out along the BC coast. With her pec fin high out of the water, it is almost […]
