Whale blow
Marty’s photo of the day #4538: Thar she blows! Gray whale, photographed off the coast of one of the many islands surrounding Vancouver Island.
Vancouver Island bald eagles
Marty’s photo of the day #4537: Vancouver Island is supposed to have one of the densest populations of black bears in the world. Last month, Deb and I saw two of them on the island, and our dog, Nellie, swears she saw another one not far from our tent. Even so, for us that’s not […]
