Just another day at the office

I am well aware that my work seems pretty fun to most people and I do love my job, as I couldn't really sit behind a desk from 9-5 without going stir crazy. Also, I wasn't a big fan of labs and analyzing data collected from the field when it came to Marine Biology work BUT I did love collecting the data in the field. Hence, why I think I moved into the guiding world, which is non-stop field work and education to the individuals on the vessel with me.

Somedays can be tiring and after a work contract I have no problem crawling onto a couch and not leaving thus couch for a week so I can rest. However, most days in the field are mind-blowing and even to this day I find myself reminiscing about certain events that occurred. Somewhat like this one, this little humpback just would not stop breaching in a narrow Strait in the Great Bear Rainforest and provided an awesome opportunity to take a few breaching photos, as his breaching behaviour became incredibly predictable after a few minutes. Everything has a pattern when it comes to interacting with these giants - you just got to take the time and have the patience to sit back, watch and before you know it, you got some pretty sweet breaching photos!
