RE: CANADIAN WHALE painting 2012
Thanks Otto! I didn´t see them on that trip unfortunately! I really wanted to but wasn´t lucky.
The bears I did see and Carol, my friend wasn´t exaggerating! the bears were with their cubs each time we met them, so distance was necessary. The ones in the pic I shared was a mother and her cub. Anyway! see you soon!
about whales: got nothing to do with luck. it was the wrong season.
Waterton, June 2007 - she had cubs with her, photo taken from close in, she was munching dandelions on the side of the road.
When I approached, she hid the cubs in the bushes; always kept an eye on me but kept on grazing.
a while later, some cars came, that's when she grabbed the cubs and took off, up the hill. In short distance, they can outrun a horse. If they decide to attack, you don't stand a chance. But they would only if you come between them and the cubs, or if you are considered a threat - depends how you act, I guess - but by and large, animals like me - I got close quite a few times to all kinds of wildlife there.
