On a rainy day in Churchill we decided to take a break from bird photography and go out in a Zodiac to look at, maybe even photograph, Beluga whales. Rain, shine, mosquitoes, long days, whatever...that trip was one of the most amazing experiences of my life.

Didn't even realize Greg was taking the photo.

Have a very happy 2005, everyone!

This is a beautiful study of you Heather - obviously taken by someone who loves you! (I know these things)

Please settle a difference of opinion.....are the ear rings Polar Bears?

Very nice image Heather !!!!! This series would not have been complete without yours

Agree with Carol on the loving care involved taking the image

..... so if you guys go to Africa .... you might be wearing Elephat earrings

Well Greg could always get you a pair of Elethin ...right Carol

I see the life jacket, but didn't they give you a survival suit? When I took a zodiac trip in the Pacific off Tofino, we all had survival suits...

But anyway, it's a great picture of you. I was wondering what the earrings were, but I still don't see polar bear...

Cute shot! I can tell you enjoyed this adventure and probably the zodiac a lot more than the mosquitoes. The earrings definitely say Churchill when I see them.
