Hello All, Thanks for checking out my picture.. Again from 2005.. I was dating this guy and he was from another country and came to visit me in the summer of 2005. He does some designing of boats and had designed a boat for someone close to my hometown for whale watching. So when he arrived here he called him up and we went on a $100CAD (65 EUR)each boat trip for free. I think between the two of us, we took over 300 photos and of course not all looked good.. I have seen many whales before but had alot of fun watching them and watching the other tourists be thrilled by the whales! Then on the drive home there was a black bear (just over a year old) and then a mother with her two cubs. For me, it's normal to see whales, bears, deer, and moose (I almost hit one while driving this winter). But for others, it's not.. So I will continue to share some of this mammals of Western Canada to you. I hope you enjoy. Nicole
