Hi Luggers,
First, Brian, thank you very much for getting the gallery started again.
We are now on Pender Island for the next few months at least until island 
fever strikes.
Not only are we back but the Orca whales are here too for their summer 
feeding.

Here are three of them racing the morning ferry to Otter Bay:

and here is a closer picture of the trio - taken with the GH2 and the 100 -

Orcas aren't the biggest of whales but they are pretty big - here's a boat 
beside one for a comparison of size:

Please look large and enjoy. C&C always welcome.

Nice to be back,

Howard
