Spring Great Bear Adventures will come to an end soon as seasons transition. Spring is a vibrant season, filled with LIFE, nurtured by water and sun. And I am so grateful for IT and reminiscing now that we move closer to summer solstice.

I want to extend my gratitude to all that have supoorted us and joined us on so many adventures since the Pacific herring season in March!

Bring on the new season and thank you to the rich vibrancy and excited energy of spring, the season, the wildlife and the people have kept me going to pursue happiness for all and live my dream.

DO IT FOR THE ADVENTURE🫶🐳🧸🐟 🧜‍♀️🌲

Happy World Oceans Day! Lets celebrate with the return of migrating Humpback Whales to our waterways!

These Humpback Whales have increased in numbers year after year after being extirpated from our waterways from 1869-1870. In one year a lone the whaling station off Cortes Island, locally took 300 whales (mostly humpbacks), the industry crashed in 1870 shortly after moving to Hornby island for 1 year.

Humpback Whales have suffered immensely in the past due to whaling. The return of Big Mama in 1997 (the first documented Humpback in the Salish Sea in 100 years) sparked hope for their kind. She brought a legacy of whales with her return and she has had 7 calves in the Salish Sea! What a brave adventure in uncharted waters for her!

Lets make sure her waterways stay clean and free from pollution of all kinds! Lets be mindful everyday of our choices and impacts on whales. And keep Government agencies accountable for clean waters. It is up to us to remember how to be good stewards of the land.

This is ALIVE and proof of the magic of creation in the universe✨ Wow just wow!! Could anything be more curious and beautiful?!

Pssst. I am saying this very quietly. ;)

This photo is a finalist for CONSIDERATION in the international Kelp Forest Photo Awards, macro category. Macro category = "This category encourages photographers to focus on the smaller, often overlooked aspects of kelp life, from the texture of the kelp to the minute organisms that call it home."

The winners will be announced in July. I can't wait to see all the photos dedicated to showing the beauty and importance of kelp. You may recall that some of you helped me decide which photos to enter into the contest back in February.

Love is in the air🧸🤍🧸 It is rare that we get to witness courtship behaviour between two Brown bears, however yesterday was pretty special. We certainly caught these two warming up to one another.

May through June is prime time for bears to court and mate these two were certainly fond of each other. While copulation may only take 20 mins this behaviour can last up to 10 days. Female Brown bears or Grizzly bears will mate with more then one male given the chance and can have cubs from more then on father!

Join us for the Great Bear Adventure! Each spring season May-June.

There were some goliath Steller sea lions at Mitlenatch the other day! Just massive, his neck was the biggest I have seen in almost 10 years guiding here!

These are the big breeders, the ones that may stand a chance to gather a harem of females on the rookeries off northern Vancouver Islands offshore islands! These are kind of funny pictures of him, all squished like a big blob, but he was moving around.

He reminded us of Jabba the Hutt from star-wars! However he was much more regal then that!
