Please take a look at the photos I took on route back to Canada on June 30. We flew directly over the oil spill however hurricane Alex made viewing conditions almost impossible. However you can see some of the key coast line areas in the images. We went around the hurricane until we reached Texas [...]

This is a post dedicated to the legendary 3 brothers known as the A36′s. They are a small group of northern resident orcas (killer whales) who frequent the north of Vancouver Island during the summer season. This season they returned but have not since been sighted with brother A32 aka Cracroft. It’s possible as pointed [...]

We met through a mutual love of orcas… This website is a dream come true project for me and want to make your dreams come true too. There for, it is my dream to see Jason’s wish come true. I’d like to gather support that a future Southern Resident orca be named after him; Jason. [...]

From the blogs…….. Friday, October 29, 2004 (Canada) Orca Dream – Transformation I will write this down before it fades. I dreamed I was on an island near shore when I saw a pod of orca passing. I ran along side with my camera (typical of me) to get some footage of them. As I [...]

Got the message from MMRG (Ron) that transients were eastbound a couple of miles south of Victoria. 2 groups were in the area, including 1 further south about 5 miles from Victoria. I waited patiently with binoculars and a high powered lens but didn’t see anything. Finally about after half an hour, a small group [...]

At about 3:00 pm today I watched 2 large male killer whales (U38 and U39) from Dallas Rd in Victoria. I saw them pass in front of the Canadian Navy ship which makes for a nice photo. Then saw “Mallard” CWR / DFO on scene documenting the two transients. I noticed the animals went down [...]

As things in the south become more tense and condensed with people and politics, I have been more and more inclined to escape to the north where the vibe is so completely different. I do love the south very much however I do end up needing breaks from it. Up here, it’s possible to watch [...]

This is a video slide show of some of my photos of killer whales from 2003 to 2007. I selected some of my favorites out of approximately 5000 photos shot during that time. I have seen some interesting times, seen some of the orcas come and go, but as the song says; lucky time never [...]

Ruffles J1 of the southern resident orca population by now has father several offspring and also must be a grandfather, perhaps a great grandfather! So this shout out is to him! Almost 60 years old, he shows no sign of slowing down. We hope he is with us for many more fathers days to come!!! [...]

I believe that now, more then ever, we need to embed our minds into what makes us happy. Because should we decide to submit to paranoia, confusion and fear, we will truly manifest a global nightmare. Keep your minds empty and clean, do what you must to remain free. Kiteboarding is a good exercise in [...]
