A photographic treat…

Capt. Jim Maya got a glimpse of nature’s lighter side today and decided to share. Here’s the scoop, straight from the photographer himself:
Every now and then I’m able to capture an image that touches my heart. Below was a brief look into the lives of our orca friends. Here are a couple of huggers, a couple of brothers, sharing a tender moment. They are families and are very loving to each other. It’s their essence! Blackberry, J 27, and younger brother, Mako, J 39, in Active Pass, BC. last week.

Maybe nature has a humorous side after all:
